    Booty-Tooch~

    My butt is basically gone. My trainer kept saying I was losing my butt as I lost weight but I never really saw it until recently. So I'm hoping squatting and the like will help train that sucker, 'cause otherwise I'm going to be a pancake butt forever.

    My butt progress isn't that impressive, but I am certainly happy with the rest of my lower body.

    Helpful link, for those not squatting heavy. A nice series of progressively harder squats to keep you challenged and your muscles working.

    Thanks! I will try to start doing this...only I will go REAL slow. I didn't like being about to sit on the john without crying out in pain. hahaha.

    Body weights are effective but it's important to make sure you progress via harder moves, pauses, and elevation to continue to challenge yourself. I do body weight things 2/3 days a week (started 4 weeks ago or so, so I can confidently say most of my body changes are via heavy lifting.) mostly to help with my flexibility. I'm using Body By You/You are Your Own Gym as a guide.

    Thanks for the advice chelled! I am definitely going to take it. And let me just say that your Azz is truly inspirational.

    I still say you look GREAT! I'll try to post some booty shots as well.

    I stated my case in the last thread...yes, lifting has made my booty and thighs feel HUGE. But even just by looking at my one month progress photo on my profile you can see they haven't. They've actually gotten the tiniest bit smaller. The shift is what tricks you. I used to have a ton of fat on the inside and outside of my thighs, and fat above and hanging below my booty. Now the fat is shrinking away, but my glutes and quads are giving me a thicker appearance. Pretty much the same weight, just redistributed and firmer. Same pant size, different fit.

    It's interesting, I think a bit of it is that your waist is noticeably smaller. Thank god for photos or it would be hard to objectively tell what's changing where.

    Probably. I haven't seen my waist in quite a while, so it's nice to have it back.

    Cranks, you know there is only one thing you can do to fix it. You have to take a new pic, for science.

    Evgeni - wowsers!!

    McB - holy butt and quads, dude!

    IliftHeavyAcrylics - you are gorgeous :flowerforyou:

    Coder - you have an incredible figure.

    Woohoo! Great progress.

    And as a member of the flat (and wide) butt black women club, I need more squats to get some shape. ;)

    OK i will play.

    The first picture is after I lost about 40 pounds or so... and was lifting a little...the second is 7 months later after lifting progressively heavier...and almost a year ago(Sept)

    The pictures dont show how much smaller my waist is in the 2nd picture compared to the first...squats and deadlifts have really made a difference in my core as well...I believe squats do a BODY good, not just a BOOTY

    This is last month...lol..wish i had thought to do it from the same angle.
