    i'm a ruler and i had a very large one when i started. it's pretty much just an extension of abdominal fat (i think?) since i do tend to gain ab fat rather than butt and hip fat.

    You just need to lose the weight to see what you will look like when leaner. No-one can guess as everyone's genetics are different.

    You might have a pear shape. My belly goes first too, and I have a shelf butt with wide hips.

    The thing is, I had a shelf butt even when I weighed 160 pounds. It's our bone structure.

    i disagree with not being able to know your body shape until you've lost the weight. your body shape is genetic, it's not like an apple is going to be a pear when overweight, you'd just be a larger size apple...

    I've gone down around 2 dress sizes but I still have a big butt! It's just the way my body is. My bum is always the last place to lose fat. Even when it does it still sticks out lol. I have to learn to love it I guess....

    I think thing that you don't really understand is that you can't spot reduce. One place doesn't lose faster than another, even though it might seem that way.

    random! :laugh:

    but anyway i think everyone who's largely overweight/ obese/morbidly obese will get a butt shelf. after awhile there are only so many places your body can squirrel away additional fat :cry:

    Maybe I'm misinterpreting "shelf butt".

    This is what I mean when I refer to mine. It looks like an old-fashioned bustle under my clothes, and it creates a C-shape along my back when you look at my profile. I can back up against a wall and fit a few books behind my spine. :-P

    I was thinnest when I was a teenager, so these are old photos. I was 14 in the first one and 18 in the second one.

    A butt shelf is like a muffin top but on your backside. Its not just having a plain ole booty. It makes your butt look lumpy

    Ohhhhhh... I get what you're saying now. I'm not sure if that will go away with weight loss or not. I imagine it will, since losing fat means losing fat everywhere. It might take a little longer than other areas of your body, but it will decrease in time.

    What is up with these necro threads today?!!

    And I was always under the impression that a butt shelf was a good thing. Like a nice round butt, rounded before it its the back of the leg/hamstring, instead of just flat.

    When did Kim K become stupidly popular? I do my best to ignore her ilk and the trash that is "reality TV."

    What did my post have to do with Kim K? I personally like a round butt. Not necessarily hers.
