when I used to lose weight I used to have a different plan of fat loss, but this time, I ' m losing my bum!! I believe it ' s gonna be flat when I reach my just weight.. which is not good at all..
does anyone have the same problem?
do you think bum exercises will really work?

Exercises will definitely help... squats ( esp holding weights ), lunges and climbing stairs will be your best " bum " builders. These will tone, tighten and LIFT the maximus gluteous muscle.
How old are you Noor? " Flattening " ofttimes happens later in life as muscle tone drops and fat starts getting deposited in the stomach instead of the hip, thighs and buttock area. By older, I mean menopause and beyond. Once we no longer need that pear shape to produce babies, we often transform into apples. LOL Look around at older women ( and women with PCOS ) and you will see what I mean. It ' s related to hormones.

I ' m still 29! but the problem is that I ' m losing fat from my bum, boobs, faster than elsewhere, my belly fat is going also but becuse I just gave birth 2 months ago, I still have a flappy belly, which I ' m working on,
so the loss in my bum is more pronounced [ / icon_sad. gif]
I hope this will be better with exercise

I ' m sure exercise will help. It may be related to your post partum hormones, as well.
