Weight lifting butt progress, Can you tell a difference?

xxcooneyxx

So I;ve been lifting for 5 months now. I "officially" decided to take progress pictures every 3 months, but I actually take them about every month or two to see how I'm doing. I originally started weightlifting because after I lost 132 lbs, my butt was totally gone. The first picture was before lifting, the 2nd one is 3 months in, and the third one is 5 months in. I'm just wondering if you can tell a difference between month 3 and month 5. I love lifting, so I'm going to keep doing it anyway, so please be honest with me. You won't hurt my feelings.

Also, do I look fatter in the last picture?

Hey, I think I've seen you on reddit! Not to be creepy lol

Your rear looks more lifted in the last picture. I can't tell about much else because your outfit is different and you're standing with a slightly taller back in the last picture as well. You have definitely gained a more shapely rear.

132 lbs is an amazing loss!

Haha, yeah, thanks. I'm all over reddit. Actually the skirt in the 2nd and 3rd pics are the same skirt. I have no clue why it looks so different though. The shirt is different. Thanks for the feedback though. My boyfriend said it looks more lifted in the last picture, but not necessarily bigger, but I can never tell if he is just trying to be nice or not.

Thanks ladies! Thought I was maybe seeing things. The progress really slows down after the first 3 months.

Me too, but I have never posted a picture lol, too paranoid

Hm, it looks like the skirt might be higher in the 2nd pic? And I agree that it doesn't necessarily look bigger, but it looks like you've picked it up and rounded it out.
