What do I think?
I think that even if you had the genetics and dedication to obtain that freakish level of booty, by the time you did, the world would have long since moved onto another fad and you would just end up looking freakish *and* foolish.
Concentrate on the baby inside you and put your energy towards making that little person's life the very best you can. Much better and long-lasting returns in that.

So true. I can't wait for this dad to be done. Why can't the fad just be to be healthy and happy with what you have to work with2 -

See a therapist. Honestly. Your obsession with this isn't healthy.10 -

What do you do?
1. Focus first on your pregnancy and a healthy baby. It will be a long time before any of this is more than a theoretical conversation, and by then your priorities may have changed.
2. See a therapist or other professional for help with your esteem issues and tendency to obsess.
As far as it being possible or impossible to reach your goals, it sounds like your body does not naturally have this configuration, which means that although you can certainly grow larger glute muscles from exercise, it may not be possible for you to ever have as tiny a top half and as huge a bottom half as these examples from just exercise. You won’t know until you try, and since you can’t try right now because you are pregnant, you need to 3. put these thoughts away right now and concentrate on your business for today.9 -
Everything aside, How does everyone asume she isn't already seeing a therapist?0

Because that won't sell millions in supplements, shapewear, sponsorships, adspace, green smoothies, detox tea, etc.3 -
I want big glutes too
not just for appearance, but for fitness too. In my opinion, the picture looks like she may be wearing shape wear but yes she's gained! (unless it's surgery, padding, I guess we can never know for sure.) How did she do it? Hard work/ good program? Ate at surplus? Shape wear can help keep the tummy tight and give the butt that shape. That would be my guess at how she looks like that. Good luck with your pregnancy and goals, OP. (PS I've never tried shape wear but I've heard it's very uncomfortable)
Edit to add: Yikes, I skipped the rest of this thread before posting. OP, you can probably gain some glute muscles post pregnancy and while eating at surplus. This picture is kind of extreme/ unrealistic to have as a goal, in my opinion. Counseling may help- just to work through the painful, negative feelings you've been having about you body.
You're beautiful and your body is amazing just the way it is. 1 -
People say squats. Lots of squats. But if its not dormant somewhere on your genetics... I'm not sure. I did thousands of squats per my karate masters instructions, picking up checkers, and my *kitten* disappered.
But maybe I was also cutting, so diet and what u eat too?
Hip thrust will work glutes more than squats. Maybe consider looking up Bret Contreras' programs.0 -
You asked what we all think so here are my thoughts. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get back into shape after your baby is born.
But aspiring to this? Really? I think it looks way out of proportion. First picture is much better.
You are going to be a mother your child will be looking to you to show him/her what is important in life.
Maybe you should be thinking long and hard about what kind of mother you want to be.
Is being self obsessed and unhappy with your body just because you can't look like some random person on Instagram the kind of message you want to pass to your child?
Children should not have to grow up thinking that it is normal to judge themselves by images of unattainable body shapes, that are probably faked anyway, by someone being paid to do it, on some stupid social media site.
These people on instagram are called influencers for a reason. They are influencing you into thinking and believing that you will be a better person and all your problems will be solved if only you had a bigger butt. Really? How exactly does that work?
Get some help to resolve your body issues and just concentrate on being the best mom you can be for the time being.

Sorry not reading the whole thread but skimmed through it some finally but not all of it. You know what though, Sometimes after having a baby, some people get very big in the bottom...
I mean, like someone suggested, if that happens to you and you got lucky, If you worked out the top of your body more than the bottom... afterwards?
I wish you luck on your body goals after baby. And I hope all goes well for you and congrats!
It is actually normal for women to get upset about thier body shapes after pregnancy, granted it doesn't get you down too much for too long.
I think alot of people have insecurites in thier lives, especially in the world we live in today.
Its just that we live in a society that promotes perfect mental health where everyone is perfectly balanced mentally, has good credit, is stable in every area of thier life at all times, and is in total control of thier emotions, any deviation from being a real human mentally and not a robot is seen as wrong or crazy.
Also like some other folks said, we are set up in a society with a media that sets the bar really high for us, in all kinds of areas.
Also therapy is an option, but it can't always change the way you feel. It can't always change your life. You can try but therapists are not God. They are also people. A good therapist is just a reg person trying thier best to help you.
Just to let you know, I myself HATE having boobs or a butt. People think that is crazy and thier is something wrong with me.
But I just am grossed out by my own boobs. It will never change. Society tells me I should absolutley love having huge boobs.
When they get bigger, people let me know its not all bad, because now you have boobs!!!
I do my best every day. I'm working on it. I might get stuck with boobs that meh. Arn't what I want. BUT better than yesterdays too huge for me bazookas. 🤣
I wish you luck and hope that you get to a place with yourself so you feel more comfortable.
Have you tried like, doing yourself up and taking some selfies? Like other people suggested, shapers? Taking some sexy pics, then you might feel better about yourself?

I know everyone has a perference but I really do want big gluteus and I’m just looking for advice because I feel I won’t ever reach my goal unless I have plastic surgery and I don’t want to. But I know looking better will help me a lot. I just want some advice on people who have achieved this. Not exactly that goal but women who have gotten big gluteus with fitness.
Help you with what, exactly?

You go to therapy. For the sake of your unborn child, if nothing else.

Relax.
Stop searching Instagram for the biggest glutes. You most likely won't have that dramatic of results because it takes a LOT of work and so far you haven't mentioned the work part of it that you ARE doing. Lifting progressively heavier weights is what you need to focus on. Like we've said every time you post this.
What is your current weight lifting routine? Maybe someone can help you with that part.
Girl, I would relax if I had atleast a little curve and looked more feminine. I’m so insecure in going shopping because I don’t have curves. I can’t wear dresses that are fitted. I don’t like taking pictures from the front because I look broad. Yes, I have so many fat to lose and I don’t know if you have seen my body shape I’ve posted pictures of myself. It’s just really really hard for me to feel comfortable and confident because I want to have more curves and I don’t want to feel like lipo is the only way for me to look differently.
All of these posts you are making today and every time are exactly the same.
Yes, I've posted in your threads before. I've seen your images of yourself.
You're pregnant, so your weight loss may have to take a back seat right now. You can still workout and do squats and other weight-bearing exercises if your doctor approves. So - get his approval and get your lifting on.
You can't change your genetics. You can do the best you can with what you've been given, which is what we all do.
You probably won't look like those images without surgery and hard core lifting.
Go to therapy. For real.
It’s not a problem for me to lift heavy, I was just trying to see if someone here has gotten a big shape with weights.0 -

I don’t come from a flat glutes family, I do have glutes but I want them bigger while losing fat from my upper. This is how I look.0 -
@rheddmobile
You can see I have shape up glutes but you can’t see my upper body fat because of the shirt. So all I’m asking is if it’s possible to lose weight from my upper while keeping my lower and getting thicker.0 -

I guess her gluteus do look too big but i don’t know I like it. I am not flat, I’ve never been flat you can see some posts from here I’ve posted my body but it’s just really saddening to see my wide arms and wide waist without no definition at all. I’m 14 weeks pregnant and I hope once I deliver my baby I can reach my goal. Hopefully I don’t have to go under the knife

Body recomp (lose fat, gain muscle) is possible- eat at maintenance while lifting (but not during pregnancy.) My understanding is that body recomp is a slow process. You can't choose where on your body fat loss will happen.0 -

Omg girl wake up!! You’re going to be a mother and if you’re not careful you’ll pass on these massive dysmorphia issues to your poor child. Please, get help.14 -

Just to clarify- I didn't mean to say her glutes were too big- her shape just looks like she's wearing shapewear. Nothing wrong with her body OR wearing shapewear, just understanding that it's probably not possible to make your body look like that.
I understand it's hard to feel sad about how your body looks. Is this your first pregnancy? Besides counseling, something I found helpful was I listened to some positive affirmations during pregnancy that were really helpful. I remember this one line said- "I am radiantly beautiful. I accept all the changes pregnancy brings to my body. My body is working perfectly to grow my precious baby." Stuff like that. I listened to it everyday. Maybe you would benefit from something like that.3 -

You are having a baby. Being a mother is a surely a priority and a huge responsibility. Teaching him or her to be confident and to accept themself is accomplished through example. What kind of child would you like to raise?
Seek professional help. Whether through counseling for your body shape fixation, or acceptance of yourself as you are.3 -
This is all so sad. Seek therapy. For the sake of your child. :noway:5

Right. Instagram models men and women fake being black and mixed. Look it up. The girls booty might be kinda big, but she knows how to make it crazy big looking.
Also, even if you were black or mixed, those perfect instagram crazy bootys, perfect thick uncellulited glutes, skinny tiny waists, are mostley unachievable realistically by any racial poulation. Maybe with a ton of effort, a few people out there might be able to get this look. A very few.
Say what? :huh:0 -
You have to google it to find out. Its crazy.0
