Do you have Dead Butt Syndrome?

It’s a fact that those who sit on their tushes for long periods of time get fat behinds, butts, ass#s, rear ends, or whatever you call yours.
It’s due to fat accumulation and muscular atrophy. Constant pressure on the buttocks can speed up fat cell growth leading to a flatter, wider, or more saggy appearance.
It’s important to stand, stretch, and move around every hour. Every hour!!! In addition, there are various exercises to do. I do all that.
I certainly don’t want my behind to look like that. Have you checked yours recently?

About 5 years ago I realized that I was sitting too much. I forced myself to get up and start moving more. This sort of led to my ''awakening'' of the fact that I needed to get serious about dumping excess weight and stop sitting so much. There is so, so much truth to the old saying ''If you don't use it, you lose it!'' Yes, it can hurt to move if a person has health issues. And I do. But the alternative if you don't move is that you could become immobile, and I sure don't want that. I advocate for movement and break up my sitting time!
Oh, and for the record, my fanny looks a lot better than it used to!

My left leg is not the best...permanent neuropathy issues and then burning tingles all the time. But the best thing is to keep moving, I don't want the other leg to get like that. And I feel tons better after dumping the excess weight. Thanks, Dianne.

I don't care personally. However, I am getting up to use the bathroom, get things in the kitchen, make food etc so I am not just sitting,

@RasmaSandra Well, I certainly love meatballs. We had spaghetti and meatballs last night.
We’re trying to eat whatever we have in the fridge and freezer before we leave. Short about 5 meals.

That’s a weird assumption. Some of us are just multitasking

@DianneN I mean it is a weird assumption that all we are doing is sitting here. Judge not lest ye be judged.

You are in good shape.
I just know it.
You are not the sort of person who would settle for anything less

I'm in bed on my stomach while talking on myLot. It's just more comfortable for me.

Well all of me is fat, so I guess I don't have to worry. No, I know I need to lose half of my body weight. Just doing so is the problem
