Squats Ruined My *kitten*!

Could be worse, you could weigh 179 pounds...

OMG I wouldn't even wanna imagine that weight on my frame! Highest weight ever was 168lbs.

You mean you weigh less than 179 in your pics? Oh...

What do you weigh? 185lbs?

hauntinglyfit? Well. You tell me me. How much do you think she weighs? I'm fascinated at the thought of your potential answer.

:huh: I'm 5'9" and 180lbs wasn't all that scary.

Also, I do heavy squats, and weight 160lbs. My and my *kitten* are friends.

My post was a joke because of her rude comment to me. But to answer ur question, guessing that she's 5'7" (can't see her profile) I would say 130lbs.

I am shorter and heavier than that. People usually assume i weigh less than i do because of lifting.

You know, squats and stuff.

Without pics, it is hard to tell what's going on. But it can be irritating not to have clothes fit the way you want them to fit.

uhem! ur a guy just wanting to see a pic of a chics *kitten*. Move along please.

Wow, what an ignorant post...I don't know about ruining your *kitten*, but your attitude and personality could use a massive overhaul.

The ironic fact is that when she finally did post a pic, the issue ended up to not be her *kitten* but her stomach, so if she had actually paid attention to the poster rather than insinuating that he was trying to perv, it would have been far less confusing and the OP would have worked out what she actually needed to do much quicker.

ETA: that post was the 1st response in this thread!

Yep I agree and i apologise to the gentleman asking for pics. I was dumb to think it was to perv. Sorry SIR! Please forgive

Kudos to you for that (srs, not sarcastic btw).

Is it fat or muscle? I mean how "firm" is your butt and how much body fat % are you at? If it's jiggly just lose fat. If it's really firm it might indeed be a lot of muscle.

I wouldn't skip to lunges I feel my glutes a lot after I do those (forward lunges). They kind of isolate glutes for me. But everybody is a little different in what muscles get hit most on what exercises.

Maybe skip squats in favor of dumbbell step ups or leg curl. Those hit the quads pretty hard and as such could substitute for squats. They will likely not hit your glutes so much, but your mileage may vary.

Fat can be pretty damn firm, especially when you are gaining it.

Bump so it is fresh and others can share in the pain!:sad:

Okay okay. Let's calm down. Im fat and i apologize for offending anyone. But im not going to get mental help, Im going to get fitness and nutrition help. Oh wait, I already know what to do. Im just gonna do that. I really didn't think my belly was that fat until the pictures today and then what some of you had said. And I can't believe I actually though my *kitten* was the culprit to me fitting my 140lb jeans......It would be nice if ya'll could wish me luck. I want to drop 15lbs by the summer.

Good luck, girlie! And log your food. Do you have the phone app? It's so easy you can copy entire meals you've previously logged to any day you want, build recipes you use frequently and add them easily, and calories from so many restaurant meals are right there in the database. The beginning plan is always successful. It's those days that you go out to eat with friends, people bring in treats at work, or you've have a total $h#% day and don't feel like paying attention to calories that sneak up on you. You can eat a lot of calories whether you're eating "clean" or not. If you truly want to follow the advice you've been given and be successful *this* time around, you have to log your food! Many of us are indeed here because what worked for us in dropping impressive lbs before does not seem to be working anymore. And again, good luck.

And don't throw away what you've accomplished. You've taken the time to learn to lift. You ate yourself to gain weight, we've all been there. Keep the squats to keep your maintain your muscle mass which does more for your health than a big *kitten* or not. Squats had nothing to do with your recent issues. Do not throw out the baby with the bath water
