Can frog butt/ love handles be lost with weight loss?
Hi!
I'm finally starting to lose weight in a slow but steady, healthy manner. I'm 25F, 165cm, between 65 and 70kg. I've had to stop because of sickness and work-related injury, but I had implemented 3 strength training sessions a week. I'm still losing weight because I can take in my daily steps at my job.
I've always had a "frog butt" while overweight, and it got better with strength training, but now that I'm losing weight, I feel like it's worse than ever? I lose fat from EVERYWHERE but the places that make me the most self conscious; lower back, upper back and stomach. From the back I have this weird X shape that is not an hourglass shape because I have no butt, because I lost fast from there and have lost muscle because of injury and bed rest. It's not that flat, but my love handles are wider than my glutes, so it gives me a frog butt..
So my question is: have any of you got rid of this "frog butt" / apple body shape simply by losing weight before? Or is it a body shape more than body fat issue, and can't be helped without building muscle?
Thanks in advance!
