No butt at all but big belly and sliding pants!



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any one else has this problem. I have always had a flat butt but it is way worse now and all my pants slide down in the back. Regular button fly pants and shorts are the worst because I can't get them to stop. My belly is extremely big so the pants are very loose in the back, even at the waist but they fit or are tight in the front. I know I could do a belt but that woudln't be comfortable with my big belly right now. Has anyone ever used anything to pinch the material in back up? I am not even sure if I can find a belt to fit me, it has been so long since anyone has. I am afraid that the best would just cinch the front more and dig into my skin.

I am proportioned really weird - skinny legs, smaller arms but big boobs and big belly but my back and butt are losing the weight faster than the front. It feels like I could wear one size in the front and one in the back!

You are not alone! I too have inherited a weird body shape from my mother and I don't like it!

I have a big gut medium boobs, thin legs, and a FLAT BUTT! I wish I had the money for

butt implants.haha. I would definately get them! I hope as my waist actually does get small,

it will be smaller than my hips.and make my butt somewhat more attractive. (ugh) haha

Well, good luck to BOTH of us with the pancake rears!

I'm with you, my underpants slide off too because I have no butt, thighs or hips to 'catch' them. Is there any hope!!! Has anyone who was shaped like this lost and gotten a more proportioned body??

Please don't tell me that's what happens. I already have the "all gut and no butt" syndrome. I can't lose much more in my rear!

I am similarly proportioned :-) I usually buy low rise jeans that are tight through hip and thigh. They are usually cut more generously at the waist and tighter everywhere else. I also wear a lot of skirts :-)

The weight loss has been interesting because I didn't know my butt could get any smaller. My stomach is shrinking too, but not as quickly as the legs / face / back. I also seem to be maintaining my boobs, which is interesting.

Don't worry, we are all a work-in-progress.

Have you thought about suspenders in the interum while you are losing the weight and then can move to a belt when your belly has gotten smaller?

If you do not want them to be seen put them on your pants and put your shirt over top. Your pants will stay up and you will not be uncomfortable.

Just a thought.

That's a good idea. My husband said suspenders recently but I couldn't picture wearing them all the time over clothes so underclothes may work out! Thanks.

i didn't think it was possible either but any hint of fat is sliding off so quickly there. I wish my stomach and arms would listen up a bit more. I guess I will try to tackle that starting next week when I start exercising hard-core again. My trainer did this "fire hydrant" where you go on all fours and then lift your leg like you are a dog peeing on a fire hydrant. It is really good for the abs and the butt. I am sure they show it on Spark People. I am going to work it like crazy so maybe I can get my stomach smaller but my butt muscles built up to get more of a shape.

Well, it might take a while, but try some gluteal exercises, like stairmaster, lunges, etc. They will build up your booty in a good way!!!tongue.gif

Hi, Same thing here! I didn't even expect to lose much in my butt and thighs because I had been exercising before surgery and had built up those muscles so it was a shock when I developed droopy drawers. The good news is nine months out it all has evened out. I bought and had put in other pants drawstrings like you have with sweats so I could tighten them up without being uncomfortable.

One step at a time... The belly of course will be the last to go. Told my husband, that I might do better by putting my pants on backwards, since the belly is bigger than the butt ; )

You might try pants with elastic in the back or if you sew you could try sewing some elastic inside the back waistband of the pants you already have.

Not one single solution to the original query: what does a man do to get a pair of jeans to fit well if he has a larger than usual belly and a flat butt.

google "waistband clip"... i've only seen lics of it used in front or the side, but i dont see why u couldn't affix them to the back (or at least side-back).

full disclosure, i've never tried them myslef, but i did contemplate buying them during weight loss phase, just never got around to it. (im 6+ years out now and my weight loss days are long behind me)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
