Pants for those of us who lost our butts

 So my body held onto my stomache fat for everything it was worth.  My butt and thighs look like a frog standing up, just non existent.  I went so far as to try on a pair of skinny Levi's and they still look all baggy in the butt like I've got a loaded diaper!  Yesterday I decided to try on a pair of Jr. jeans, and they did work, (apparently teenagers have smaller butts) and looked better but are a bit too short.  

So I ask this, what jeans do you wear that actually fit in the butt and thigh?  I'm not looking for skin tight, just hugging.  I am currently in an 8, I can button 6s but they are still too snug.  In Jr's I'm soundly in a 9.  I'm probably going to lose another 10lbs or so (I'm playing it by ear), but I'd really like some nice jeans for fall.

Are you doing any weight training, including squats, lunges, deadlifts, hamstring curls, etc.? I found the weight training to help with the flat butt syndrome. Pants fit me better, because I have more muscle.

I'm very short, so what works for me, wouldn't work for you.

 I do a fair bit of squats, and weight lifting, though I will be adding more in after my next race.  Right now my priority is getting my min/mile pace down as low as possible, that and riding my horse.  I'm currently running about 25 miles a week, and then I ride 4-5 days a week, multiple horses.  Those both take a bit of butt muscle but not exclusively.

Working on the glutes and lower body will also help to build your power, so that you can run faster. Sprinters do a lot of weight training.

I second the advice to work on building up the glutes. For the most part, I no longer wear misses sizes. I mostly buy junior sizes because they don't sag on me in the hip/butt area.

I've found that old navy "rockstar" jeans actually fit my no butt, thin thighs but still have stomach skin problem. Just bought two pairs earlier this week cause they're on sale!

Good luck on finding something, I know it took me forever!

 I actually found some Calvin Klein skinny jeans at Costco that fit really well. They are almost a jegging with the elastic in them, but look more jean like. Best part was they were only 18.00.  Ive found jeans with some stretch in them are much more forgiving of my deficits and umm...abundances lol.

I would wait until you reach your ultimate goal but the Miss Me jeans and the Not Your Daughter's Jeans would probably fit you a bit better.  These are expensive jeans so I would def wait until you reach your ultimate goal.  Also, if you have a Buckle store, they have lots of different styles and fits of jeans.  They are also really good at helping you find those perfect pair of jeans.

I get my jeans at Old Navy because they support so many different shapes and cuts so something always fits me.

I also like the Miss Me jeans, anything with pockets and pockets with flaps, helps hide the no butt. Weight training too. Then I also had a butt lift, it helped. I had no butt before I lost the weight, it got way worse after.
