    I know exactly what you mean!!! I have that problem too. I started doing the Brazilian butt lift videos for like three weeks and saw really good results... but then I stopped because I went back to school and after moving to a new apartment I never saw them again.Anyway, also there are some workouts on youtube ( http://youtu.be/wbdCT4cI6WY )

    Burn more calories than you are consuming and you will get rid of fat, unfortunately you cannot decide where it goes from without surgery.

    What you can do is to choose where you can build muscle (tone up).

    If you look at athletes whose sport focuses on one or two muscle areas, they tend to have bigger arms/legs or whatever they use the most but the little fat they have is generally spread across their body.

    Thank you all for your input. I actually don't have any love handles only that stupid hump by my cheeks lol. I am really starting to eat well and exercise everyday. Hopefully that does the trick :bigsmile:

    i have "upper butt fat" too!!!!!! i'm glad i'm not the only one!!!!

    i KNOW you can't spot reduce and losing body fat is the only way to go about it... but i really feel like dead lifts and squats have helped with the shape of my butt. it's definitely losing it's squareness LOL

    I call it "upper butt fat" as well! LOL Too funny :tongue: I'm in the same boat as you wondering what exercises can be done to help the area since spot reduction isn't possible...which is totally lame, by the way.Glad to see this got a lot of feedback. Looks like I'll be starting some squats!

    Stay at a calorie deficit until it's gone. Haha - I call it my "shelf" and hate it!

    Also do butt-toning exercises so that when the fat is gone the booty is in the best shape of your adult life.

    Just remember that normally when you lose weight it is 'First on, Last off'. Just keep working away at your whole body and it'll reduce. You can't spot reduce!

    You can't spot reduce. Eat at a moderate calorie deficit and lift heavy weights to get the best results. Squats, deadlifts, and lunges have transformed my butt.

    I think I just feel better knowing I'm not the only one! I was just hoping that as long as I kept up my calorie deficit and general exercising it would eventually go away. Seems like that might be the case, but it's early days for me yet. Good luck!

    Isn't that the part that actually makes a butt look pretty?

    I mean, people without the upper butt fat are the ones with the "flat" *ss?

    It's a little late but hopefully will be helpful to someone. I searched for this same term upper butt fat, but I call it a picnic table or camels humps, they are pieces of fat right on the sides of your lower back waist area. I'm doing treadmill walking on an incline or u can do a stair master. press the humps with your fingers when you start the the exercise so you can feel the exact area that will be burned. You can feel the "fat humps" flexing as you walk or climb. With repetitiveness, you can burn it off. Other toning exercises will probably speed up the process.

    Lol I couldn't think of what else to call it. I even Lol'd at the expression.

    i know the stuff that you mean. made me laugh.

    people are right that the fat's just the fat and if it's there then that's where it is. but fwiw, a while ago i had to go on a pretty serious campaign to strengthen my glute medius muscles, which lie pretty much in that zone. if nothing else the squareness factor improved.

    You can't exercise areas to just spot reduce them with any significance.

    Are you a certified personal trainer? If not you really shouldn't be creating misinformed workout plans for others. Training has ZERO effect on weight loss. It all depends on how many calories you are consuming.

    Op to lose your extra fat eat in a consistent prolonged caloric deficit and that is all you can do

    It's unproportionate visceral fat on the Gluteus medius while the maximus is much flatter. You haven't heard of it because is EXTREMELY RARE.
