I can't believe some of you haven't heard of or don't know what a shelf butt is! I guess I am just ghetto but I know and have a shell butt. It is what prohibits you from sitting all the way back in your seat when in the car. If you reach back and touch your spine and then run your hand down to your butt, if it takes a sharp curve outward then baby YOU GOT BACK TOO!

I actually named my gut! I call her Girthtrude. I named her that because girth is the circumference around and I definitely have a girth. Having said that, when my son came home Monday after a month gone he looked at me and said " where is Girthtrude?" (22.6 lbs lost) felt good to get a little praise at the beginning of my journey!

A newbie member mentioned something that got me thinking...yes, sometimes that happens!

I have what she called, a butt you could put a cup of coffee on.

It's kind of personal, I know, but do any of you have this kind of butt? And what I really want to know, is Did you lose that "shelf" when you lost weight? It's my biggest fear that that won't go away.

I had it....I don't have it anymore. I never though I woul lose it....but it's a thing of the past in my case

You better start saving for some new boobs becasue I am here to tell you I used to be a D cup and now well let's just say, I think I need training bra again. I wonder if I could train them to stand up and point! Hmm, I may have to think on that one.

Not me, I've got middle aged white woman flat but syndrome. My buttocks are like two droopy pancakes.

Despite thousands of squats, lunges and running

I've got no boobs either. I never ever in a zillion years would have believed I was a skinny body type, but any flesh at all on me us just flab. Thankfully I am nicely pear shaped and don't look like a boy, but I don't have curves.

OH NOOOOOOO

I know all too well about shelf butt. I definitely can not wait until mine is gone. I used to have tank ass but then it developed into shelf butt. Oh how I long for tank ass days again.....

Carolinagirl, this is the best definition. Or, lean straight up against a wall, if you can slip your hands horizontally between your lower back and upper butt with too much ease, you have shelf butt.BandingMi said it well.

And I love your picture, where the heck did you come up with THAT one!

And people, I did not make up the term. A young lady on the forum called it that, I just continued her explanation. She's uber new, and I think she'll fit in just fine!

You guys kill me, btw. :lol:

[meyouus 415]

OK. I googled shelf butt. I found the Urban Dictionary. It's definition of shelf butt is as follows...

(n) An ass so large as to simulate a shelf, table, nightstand, or other flat tabular object that one might set a drink, ash tray, plates, a TV or what not on.

ROFLMAO! I DEF have a shelf butt, but I take offense at the "TV" aspect. LOL

Jumps up and down, I have one of those but I always referred to it as a sway back. Mine has gone down heaps with a 60 pound loss but ill always have one, even at 55 kilos in my 20's I had it and hated it but the guys loved it lol.
