:laugh: I know we're all in this to lose weight, but I like my butt. I wouldn't mind it shrinking but I don't want it to go away. Any tips?:tongue:

    I think doing butt exercises will help you keep your butt. Build up the glut muscles. Leg lifts, squats, lunges. I think that will help you. I wish I could give you mine! I've got a J-Lo going on!:laugh:

    LOL. My husband is in desperate fear of butt shrinkage. :laugh:
    Squats, squats, and more squats. The elliptical is great for cardio and my hind quarters.

    if you naturally have a generous booty, you won't lose the whole thing. As your body changes your booty will get smaller but proportionately it won't change. I didn't want to lose anything in my chest :embarassed: and I was upset when I dropped a size and a half, but now that I've los almost 50 lbs I'm realizing that proportionately, I'm the same. :flowerforyou:

    I start and finish my work out at the walking park with Baby Got Back. I want my butt.....just not the belly to go with it!

    I do squats with exercise bands.I sure can feel my Gluts the next day.

    This site has all kinds of exercises and explanations on how to do them.

    I want a slim waist and some back bay bay. My favorite line in the song is
    "36 24 36? Only if she's five three!"

    squats and lunges will help shape your butt and lift it to prevent from it droopin in the bottom-

    It makes me miss those days... way back when... I was a 36 - 28 - 38. But it was before kids, and before I owned a car. I had to ride my bike back and forth to my jobs. Probably about 7 or 8 miles both ways, twice a day. I cleaned hotel rooms in the morning, and worked at the dairy freeze in the evenings. And I could eat all the frozen custard and slushies I wanted, and I was still a size 5.

    Damn, I'm gonna get there again!

    Yes, I realized the reason I was so skinny before marriage is cuz my family never owned a car. I walked everywhere. Also went dancing 2 x a week, for like 6 hours and didnt drink alcohol. Wow, I wish i could burn all those cals now, huh?

    Me too. I use to always have a great butt. Now , it's gone.

    I'm sure squats and lunges will help me recover it.

    I have been dealing with the incredible shrinking ta-ta's and butt also. I've gone down a full cup size and that's starting to get loose. It's depressing. I was not endowed at all when I was slimmer. I apologized to my husband, but won't change the goals. I can only do so many squats and lunges, my knees crackle like an eighty year old. They really hurt after about 10. I read that doing hills whether outside or on a treadmill helps also. I am looking into an elliptical machine, but I need one with a lo-o-ong stride so my hubby can use it too. They can be pricey.

    Thanks for the site Arewethereyet. I will definitely give it a look-see.

    I lost 30lbs prior to MFP and my butt hasnt gone anywhere but I also have always had a nice butt not trying to toot my own horn lol- I actually cant stand how big of a butt I have I have a bubble butt its not wide at all- My husband noticed a size difference in my butt and complains but it has to get smaller in order to get in smaller jeans/pants

    When I lost the baby weight from my first son I lost it by walking and waitressing and my butt was better than ever cause I was excercising... So as long as you work it out I think you'll be fine! Of course I was 20 then...
