I’m on the bones of my backside 😂

[Frizzbomb67]

After running for 6 months now 😮 I’ve managed to lose a stone 😊. The trouble is now, my previously not so large bum is almost non existent! When I sit down I can literally feel I’m sitting on the bones of my backside! This is worse on plastic chairs and I sit on kid’s plastic chairs most of every day. I’ve got a little callous forming on each cheek. Ouch! Sorry TMI 😂. The downside of running and burning a bit of fat is that now I need a blow up cushion 😂😂

Great stuff with the running & weight loss, but yow!

Time to develop the ‘perfect Pilates bum’ so you are sitting on muscle! 😉

🎵 😂😂

I do Pilates and love it. As my friend says, I have got some muscle but it’s in the wrong place 😂😂

Hmmm, running does rather reduce bum size! Not sure what the solution is!

Rubber ring comes to mind Roxdog 🙄🤭

Woo boned digging into chairs ouch, you can have some of my padding if you want though

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Thanks 😂😂 It’s certainly something didn’t envisage!

Dare I say it...eat more cake!?😂👍🧁🍰 Thats what I do!😉

All joking aside, I do have to make sure I take on enough calories - and no, they’re not all cake really!🙂

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Great advice 🍰😂😂

Yeah I’m going to up my food intake a bit 😊 I didn’t set out to lose weight but do try to eat healthy. Definitely room for more cake!

I posted recently about weight loss on the marathon forum and got a lot of interesting responses. I do think we need to watch our food intake.

Try some glute exercises, squats and walking lunges spring to mind. These won't hurt your running either, in fact will help. Both can be done at home with either body weight or holding on to handy heavy things you have around the house.

Loads of vids on line to supply instruction.

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10 in reply to B1GK9]

Thanks. I will try adding some to my routine. Till then I’ll carry on sitting on my coat 😂

[limberlou Graduate10]

I’ve been running for about 3 years now and I think I’ve found most of your stone if you’d like it back??? ☹️. I’ve usually done at least 10,000 steps before lunchtime too. Whereas my sister who barely leaves the house is like a scrawny bird. Makes me sick 🤣🤣

Mind you I have very little bum- all belly and boobs I’m afraid

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

😂😂 Oh yeah me too! I’ve got plenty of spare elsewhere. As my hubby says, I haven’t got a weight problem I’ve got a distribution problem 😂

Apparently the Kardashians are donating

High protein food... plenty of exercises for those butt muscles..)

As Sandraj39 says, It is really important to make sure that the fuel goes in for the performance to come out. I am currently not running and following a specific eating regime in order to put weight back on, after running myself, literally, physically and mentally to a very low point.

There is some really useful advice out there regarding the great foods that you can enjoy which will support your running journey

Until then.. get a really comfy cushion!

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Thanks. I’ll have a look cus I’m really interested in nutrition. My bony backside is not a huge problem though. I posted it more for amusement. I’ll carry sitting on my coat 😂😂 Hope you feel strong again soon x
