Where do I stop...goal weight related....

I hate to ask and feel silly googling it, but what exactly does "faking the thigh gap" mean?

And why is the thigh gap so important anyways??

I guess it is something females intuitively understand.

I just stood with my feet apart... I'm not sure the true way to fake it???

Like I said I'm truly knock kneed so it will never happen and my thighs are BAD I mean saggy lumpy and wrinkled I just know how to take a good picture

Wow - I cannot believe there is a whole science or religion behind the coveted thigh gap. Like I said above, maybe this is equivalent to men trying to achieve a certain ab set, biceps size or body fat %. We too can get obsessive in a similar way.

I get a little bit of "thigh gap" when I wear skinny jeans (might as well be a body shaper!)... I do think how you stand makes a difference.

Love it! Aren't we all funny?? Who knew I would be so vain? Ha!

I too am knock kneed... plastic surgeon told me my thighs would always touch. Key is to find clothes that make me look voluptous and not like I have thunder thighs.

My new bodyfat scale says I am 29% fat too...normal range for my age but all that working out... I had hoped for a little better..haha.

lets sing along to the Carole King hit shall we..."we're so vain"

It's hard to hold em and take a pic!

Look at you skinny Goddess!

LOVE giant pant pics! Can you fit into one let? You look great!

Here is one I took over a year ago... before the regain... I think I might weight less now... will have to take new pant pics!

This is priceless!

Yep, that's all of us on here....finding ourselves and loving ourselves! :PI so regret not having a pair of my old jeans to put over my new jeans. But like Fiddle said, I could go to the goodwill and try on my old size over my new size....or go to Macy's and try on a new pair.

My body fat percentage calculated out to be 26.9% so it's time for me to work on reducing the body fat % now....

Rough day for me today...my friend's husband said I look anorexic and someone else said I look like I have cancer or something. What the heck. I'm 5'2" and weigh 133. That should not be too thin. I am trying to stop losing and am eating more. If you don't have something nice to say to someone just keep your lips zipped!

Wow, thats harsh. There are lots of reasons people feel threatened or concerned when what they think they know changes. Being rude and insulting is not acceptable. Perhaps practice a response if it should happen again sometime... hopefully it won't! When I first lost weight, some people asked me if I was OK, not sick... I felt they were really concerned... once I said I was losing weight for my health, and my health was much improved, they dropped it and that was the end. At some point, no one will even notice.

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

That is rude and mean!

They probably just arent used to seeing you thin. Maybe it came off your face making you seem thinner??? Sometimes it takes a bit for the shape to reditribute.

I lost my initial chunk of weight sorta fast but getting to a normal BMI has been very slow so I havent had that happen. Nobody thinks I am too thin.

I wasnt sure it was a compliment tho when the guy I date said something like "nobody likes model thin; its better to fill out your shorts with a curve like you do". Hmmm...I think he told me I am still fat as I was climbing on my bike this summer..haha

At some point we have to be content and pleased with our weight and bodies no matter what others say or think.

I think most people who have known you before will struggle with their own dysmorphia issues when seeing the "new you." I know it does not excuse their ridiculous behavior, but might put your mind at ease.
