Lolo Jones likes big butts and she cannot lie. Especially hers.
So when it went away as she dropped weight in the transition from the bobsled back to track and field, the outspoken Jones was quick to talk about it.
Jones, the noted 100-meter hurdler in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics, competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia as part of the U.S. bobsled team.
She put on 30 pounds to compete as a push athlete, weight that she has had to lose to resume her hurdling training.

She told ThePostGame.com that she still has seven or eight pounds to lose, but that's not the problem.
Her butt is the problem.
"At first I had that nice bobsled butt that I worked so hard to get, and I was like, 'Yes, this is going to stay, and then like, all this other stuff is going to go,'" Jones told ThePostGame.com "And it was like, the butt was the first thing to go, and I was like, 'Nooooo!' That was the one thing I wanted to stay."

ThePostGame.com then talked about the 9,000 calories a day Jones was putting on to get her weight up for the bobsled and the Sochi Games, which included her eating bacon double cheeseburgers.
Of course, Jones couldn't get through the entire interview without saying something at least a little bit controversial. She was asked whether she was going through Sochi withdrawals, the interviewer asking what she missed most about Russia.
"Aww, everything; I'm joking," she said. "Nothing; I'm honest."
She did go on to say she missed her teammates, but some of her teammates who didn't make it to Sochi were upset the she went, claiming that the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation was just trying to capitalize off Jones' name.
The jilted teammates would've loved to have the opportunity to experience the Russia about which Jones said she missed nothing.
