Ok, I just don't understand how people who are naturally skinny do not have problems sitting long periods of time without their bums hurting. Even though I have lost close to 75 lbs and still have some cushion back there but I am finding it harder to sit longer periods of times. I get such a pain in the butt. But you know.....I will take that instead of my feet and knees hurting from all the weight. Maybe that is what keeps me more active instead of sitting around like I use to.

Same here! I bought a horse-shoe shaped cushion for when I have to sit for extended times -- car trips, for example. You can get them on Amazon. Search for "****yx cushions." 

(Darn editing! That's ****y-x.)

STILL won't accept it. One more try: Charlie-Oscar-Charlie-Charlie-Yankee-Xray.

I also have that pain in my tailbone now. I'm not sure why we get that pain after the weight loss but like you said "I will take that instead of my feet and knees hurting from all the weight."

I bought an awesom ****yx pillow from Amazon and use it whenever I have to sit for more than 3 hours. It helps a LOT. I even took it with me for my flights to and from Norway!

My problem isn't my ****yx, but my "sit" bones, as yoga instructors call them.  They hurt whenever I sit ANYWHERE, for ANY amount of time.  I definitely find myself standing and moving as much as possible. :)

Same here.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to do mat type of exercises that require any sitting.  Even with 2 mats and a towel for cushioning.

My problem isn't my ****yx either, but my sit bones.  The ****yx pillow still helps :D

I went through the same thing. I'm 3 years out and I don't experience it anymore. At 18 months, I started to really tone my bum because it was sagging and now it's muscle back there. Maybe that's why mine doesn't hurt anymore.
