I am also looking forward to double crossing my legs. I'm at a size 14 when I can do the cross-and-hook. I can cross my legs now (being tall) but they are up high, as I'm a pear's pear. I also think I will wear more skirts and dresses once my thighs are less bountiful.

Itsuptome - what are the "secrets" you've learned with the Protein shakes? I start my liquid diet on Friday and am a bit anxious.

the secrets... ive learned a few and most of them are from the site, my favorite one is a vanilla shake with ice and 1/2 crystal light orange to go pack (no milk), it taste like a creamsicle and is my FAVORITE! I also like to mix the sf coffee syrups (I get mine at cost plus) with the chocolate but I got sick of chocolate really fast. broth is a lifesaver (would have never thought) its salty and hot and taste like real food! GET SOME! The other thing I do (and I know its not totally okay) is mix cool whip free with my sf Jello and pudding it makes it lighter and sweeter. Good luck I hope it all goes well for you. BTW check the sugar content on your Protein Shakes, my dr recommended under 1 carb per serving which is kinda hard to do and be prepared for the headach/carb flu on day 2 and maybe 3 but you will feel like a new person on day 4!! Good luck! Julie

i think height really matters here, I am only 5ft 1 (sometimes I have a tall day and im 5ft 2) currently i weigh 194.5 and wear a 16/18 but have been in a 12/14 recently (over the summer) and could not cross my legs. i am guessing maybe a 8/10 will do it i'll let you all know. if there are any other shorties out there let me know when u were able to do the "cross and hook". thanks Julie

That was actually one of my goals along with being able to attach my towel all the way around my body without my tummy hanging out the side. Now I can do both. I am currently a size 18. I am not at the point that is is comfortable but I can do it for about 30 minutes, which is a great thing for me.

I finally get to vote in my own poll! Today I noticed that I crossed my legs under the kitchen table at work without noticing it and sat that way for most of lunch until I noticed. That must mean I'm there! Woohoo! I'm between an 18 and a 20, but closer to an 18, so that's where I voted.

Take care all and thanks for your input on the poll.

Size 18 for me! And yes, it was one of the little joys when I realized I could do it. I also notice that when I'm sitting on the bus to go to work, I can keep my arms at my sides... they no longer have to rest on what was my big belly! Now it's a smaller belly and you can even see that my boobs stick out farther than my stomach :welldone:

You're right -- height makes a big difference. Crossing your legs is really difficult when your feet don't touch the floor when sitting! I'm barely 5' so I won't be able to cross my legs until I'm at a size 6, which is where I was for 2 days in 1993.

This has to be the best thread ever! I am a size 20 and I try to do it to look cute but i almost break a sweat!

I was able to cross my legs in 1994 when I was a size 16. Not Women's size 16 but Misses size 16. I had moved to Boston and literally walked everywhere. This native Midwestern was too afraid to ride the subways. 30 pounds just fell off of me within 3 months time. I was sitting in a staff meeting and just happened to cross my legs and almost fell out of my chair with sheer excitement.

Then, of course, I discovered all the neighborhood pizza shops and bakeries and PUBS! Hence, I'm pursuing the lapband.

My goals - to be able to cross my legs again, to wear sleeveless shirts, to be able to tuck in my blouses and to no longer wear queen size panty hose.

(I've no idea what dress size I am).
