    Yay!!! thanks so much :heart: I'm not excited about the gaining more before I lose it. I mean 1200 to 1900 is a huge jump I hope what I gain isn't noticeable really :/ but thank you

    You can take it slow if it helps you get used to the idea. Eat 1400 for a few days, then 1600 for a few days, and finally 1700. And you are very welcome!

    I did some cardio as I was losing weight, my butt shrunk quickly and it was flat. I started going to gym and I'm eating more now (trying to maintain ..) and my butt got rounder and perkier :) woohoo.

    I've always had a butt, even when I was a 100lb ballerina. Not an ideal thing to have as a ballerina, but I learned to appreciate it later on in life. :)

    Anyway, you can change the size & a little of the shape, but if you always had or always didn't have something, sometimes there's not much you can do about "saving" something. I used to always have small boobs until I gained weight & gained like 2 cup sizes, but I don't expect those to stick around & there's not much I could do about that if I wanted to.

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about cardio. But if you want to try & save what you can, do glute exercises. Like someone said, it IS a muscle.

    Hey I lost my butt first time ever after losing 20lbs this year! It was a shock as I always have worked out and always had a butt at this weight (7lb to go still!)
    So I looked up every butt exercise on YouTube and in two weeks of squats and lunges have filled it out!

    I lost mine when I was sick a few years ago and couldn't eat for 2 weeks. I probably lost muscle, because I was already light, but I never knew that my normally round and muscular glutes could recede so quickly.

    Did you gain it back though?

    It's definitely back. I weighed less at that point than I do now, and I don't know if I would be able to keep my butt if I worked out while getting back to that weight. It's one of the reasons that I decided that my current weight is my ideal weight.

    Nothing is going to get bigger when you're in a calorie deficit, including your butt...regardless of what exercise you do. You are not anabolic when in a calorie deficit...
