chellewill16 46 Posted October 4, 2012 What is with the saggy inner thighs!!!!!! BARF!!! :Any ideas on how to tone that particular area. I'm walking my butt off literally but that saggy drooping inner thigh is beyond gross.

Supersweetums 1,164 Posted October 4, 2012 I hear you! I am honestly not sure if there is anything you can do. It is a really hard area to target, but search for inner thigh exercises and you might come up with some. I know that you can get them lifted too, but I heard that it is one of the worst spots to have plastic surgery done. 1 chellewill16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 4, 2012 Sumo squats. That will target your inner thighs big-time. 2 mysleevemylife and chellewill16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeMeMEEE 206 Posted October 4, 2012 If it's skin, it's probably not going anywhere. I am 4'11'' also and at goal. I figure I won't be wearing any short shorts so no biggy! 1 chellewill16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rootman 1,101 Posted October 4, 2012 Well, the truth has already been mentioned, it's hard if not impossible to get rid of. The body has an excellent way of growing new skin as we fatten up and no real way to get rid of it once it's not needed. I had it pretty bad, lucked out in the belly for the most part but my inner and back thighs looked nasty. I've been seriously biking for a few months - about 100 miles a week - and while they are better they are still gross. Compression garments just cover it up. So exercise helps but nothing will really CURE it, except surgery, and I am loathe to do that. 3 MeMeMEEE, LaBelle509 and Threetimesacharm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'd rather believe that the body somehow absorbs the excess skin or it just gets smaller because it can. No science that I know of says such a thing, wish I was wrong. If you build up your thighs to massive proportions you can fill up some of the space. Or, like me, just realize that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes well you might find you get what you need 3 Jessielynn, ProudGrammy and TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted October 4, 2012 Oh I feel your pain. Like rootman I don't believe depending on the severity that you will be able to shrink up that skin. If it is really loose then surgery is your option. I know for me that will be the only answer. Exercise certainly won't hurt and may make you feel better about it.

chellewill16 46 Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks. I'm gonna work out like a fiend and see what happens. My surgery isn't even a month old yet so I'm hoping it stalls a lil bit till I can step up the workout. I'm about to sell my soul to that damn Stairmaster and pray my knees hold up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffylibra30 323 Posted October 4, 2012 Squats and lunges will help some. My legs look much better since I started doing them with my workout. But it's taken months. 1 chellewill16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone think compression garments help....Like I hate Spanx but if it will stuff stay where it belongs then i'm game to try it. I'm 4'11 and down to 241 form 268. Try a soft exercise ball. You can get them on Amazon. Squeeze between your legs doing 10 reps each, also wrap a resistance band around your knees and hold ends with ur hands and open close your legs. You won't be able to move your legs much but you will feel the tension from ur butt to ur inner and outer thighs. Good luck! 1 chellewill16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed everything after my surgery is drooping lower now, it's only been 10 days for me. I can't wait to be cleared for exercise. It's getting boring walking. 1 chellewill16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
