I went though the same thing. I lost a lot of weight recently and I know exactly what you're talking about. It's hard to find jeans that fit right and fit in the butt area, and you need to sit on a pillow or sweatshirt or something at all times!

I haven't gained weight, but I've been exercising to get some toning so I'm not just skinny and with the building muscle in my butt, I find it's becoming more comfortable to sit down.

Also, you may gain weight from exercising, but you'll be smaller. Muscle weighs more than fat. In a few months if you go up a pound from exercising your butt, that just means it's working. Unless you know you gained weight from clothing, but muscle weight comes on slowly.

Anyway, I think the best exercise for butts is to stand up and sit down without a chair, then repeat. It helps your thighs too. Also, putting small objects on the floor, and picking them up one at a time while lifting one leg up and switching sides each time I go down is working.

This is getting kind of long, so I'll leave you with a link to some exercises. If you need more, I have several magazines and if you need more, stop by my advice column, I'll share some more exercises from my Shape magazines and from my million exercise DVDs that I like a lot.

It says leg exercises, but they work for the butt too. :) Hope I helped!
