    I've definitely got booty. I've noticed when I work out old school (lunges, bicycles etc.) my butt will often be bigger (by the measuring tape) because those muscles are lifting it up. If I keep going, it'll shrink down from weight loss and tightening muscles.

    But, bigger and lifted is way better than smaller and heading south. ;o)

    Is this a joke? What is the problem??

    This. ;)

    But really your butt will start to shrink again as you keep losing. And it will stay nice and round and high while shrinking if you keep lifting.

    As some others have mentioned, if You are doing Squats and dead lifts in your workout routine, that's bound to happen lol

    As a male, it "appears" that "other things" appear "larger" while it's just that the surrounding things have gotten a little smalller. Perhaps the same thing applies in this case. But (no pun intended) in any case, it is an ASSet (pun intended).

    Normal. This has happened to me, I love it! Only thing I'm annoyed about is finding decent jeans to fit me.

    Look for ones that specifically say "curvy" fit. They are usually more forgiving in the hips/butt area and smaller in the waist. I found a brand called Airya that I LOOOOVE!

    This happened to me, and I love it. My butt deflated as a lost weight. Strength training lifted it and turned back the clock. :heart:

    It does make shopping in the juniors' department a little more difficult, since they're cut straighter in the hips, but I can't see being curvier as a bad thing.

    Is that normal? Ive been lifting heavy weights since the first of the year. My pants all have extra room in the waist now and tight as hell in the butt... Humm... tiny bit peeved....

    I'm not sure I see the problem. I lift weights to achieve exactly this result.

    I have this issue. My pants are lose around the waist, tight around my butt, but right under my butt its loose, then tight on my thighs. My pants can not stay up. Its really annoying. I'm glad its summer. Its easier with shorts.

    This happened to me when I started but I kept on a deficit and kept lifting and fitting in cardio and now my butt is TIGHt but smaller, at first I think its just a mixture of water retention and slight bulk until you deficit that bad boy down!!

    Perhaps it just appears to be bigger because your waist is getting smaller.

    I'm having this problem with my thighs :grumble: I guess its from building the muscle faster than the fat is coming off in that particular area. Trying not to get discouraged... i assume it will get better once the fat starts falling off.
