    Bye, Bye Butt Shelf..yes laugh

    Ha! So, what's a butt shelf, you ask? Well, the super heavyweights (like I was) know. It is that horrible fat that resides on the top of your butt and makes your profile really awful. When I was lots heavier I couldn't even get all that fat and flesh in my hand, and I have a big hand! Now, thanks to hard work and wonderful Atkins, I can only pinch about an inch and a half.

    My hubby used to grab it sometimes, and I would hate it, now I am like, "check out that butt shelf, not much of a shelf, now is it?!"

    What a good slogan, "Atkins will reduce your butt shelf!"

    Okeee...I think that's enough!

      Thanks, Lady! I ALWAYS hated that ugly thing! It's still ugly, but not as bad.

            lol you're too funny!
            But I need more info, is this like a big booty that you could set a cup of tea on shelf
            or is this like a spare tire that sits above your booty shelf? I think I have the latter and I can not wait for it to go away all the way!!!

              I used to have a big hump before I started losing, does that mean I might have diabeties and not even known???

                Hi, well, the shelf exists right at the top of the butt crack and bulges out.

                About the diabetic hump, there is a school of thought that those who get the hump, may be pre-disposed to diabetes. I did not have diabetes, but I was hypoglycemic, which is a precursor.

                  OOh ok... I have that butt pouch too lol...

                  I don't know if I had any medical probs at all before Atkins (I avoided the doc like the plague)... But since I did have that hump I guess it's better I decided to get healthy when I did!

                  You've done soooooo great G-Mom! Keep up the good work!!

                    LOL G-Mom...that's the first time I've heard of the term butt-shelf

                    Congrats on losing weight, it's so exciting when you notice the changes! No more butt shelf for you!

                          Here's another lovely visual term a friend of my coined that I'll be SO glad to be rid of.... a fat apron.

                          She's also fond of saying.... "Kiss my a$$. You can't miss it."

                          She has a way with words.

                            is a muffin top the same thing as a butt shelf?
