    Can someone please explain to me the obsession with mesh in leggings right now?

    OH MY GOSH!!! YESSS!!! I hate, hate, hate it! Like I want weird bulging places on my legs...
    EXACTLY! Like I get frustrated with bulky seams make dents on my legs let alone the mesh.

    What I want to know is what's with the obsession with LEGGINGS right now? I had to shop for HOURS and in like four different malls just to find ONE pair of pants that weren't leggings in the stores here. :neutral:

    I wear leggings with tunics etc but other than that I am a jeans girl

    I have a texture thing with clothes, so I can't stand to have anything clinging to me--so leggings are pretty much impossible. Since I didn't have anything else to wear (I've gained a lot of weight and thigh-rub killed all my pants!), I didn't have any choice but to shop till I either dropped dead from exhaustion or found some normal-leg pants! ;)

    ALSO! When you are advertising leggings for working out, I want to see stretching! Let me see that they will pass the squat please!

    I do the stress test with shorts. Bend over and look at my backside in the mirror. To be sure the fabric doesn't get see thru and no private parts exposure!

    I got a temporary crown on my tooth last Wednesday, and get the permanent one next Wednesday. But right now, my mouth freaking hurts and I just want it to STOP!

    THIS!
    I wear leggings with skirts and short dresses ONLY. Nobody needs to see my butt and lady business in THAT much detail. LOL!

    I feel that pain, I've been looking for nice trousers for work and I can't find hardly any or if I do, they definitely won't work for me.

    That said, I love leggings because I wear dresses to work a LOT (because I can't find friggin pants) and I'm tall so leggings are a lifesaver for me so I'm office appropriate. But still, I need pants!

    The fact that I despise shopping with every ounce and fiber of my being doesn't help either!

    I only have one pair of leggings that are NOT for the gym, and wear them very rarely. All my other leggings are gym wear, and I wear them constantly (going to the gym, not for athleisure).

    Me too. Leggings are not an attractive look on me. But I wear them constantly at home. And yoga pants.

    I either squat in front of the mirror in the dressing room, or squat in front of hubby at home, before wearing any new leggings to the gym. Learned that one the hard way.

    That's obviously 'cause we're super great. Someone needs to get Mo back into the forums, she's missing the fun! Anyone know how to hack workplace forum blocks? :p

    I had a filling redone last night and my mouth hurts/is sensitive to heat/cold. :(

    Mine has been killing me for weeks. My last wisdom tooth is growing in and the whole area around it is swollen and inflamed and the gums around the tooth are now the creepiest shiny-white color. It got so bad a few weeks ago that I had to live on just smoothies. :neutral:

    Since I lost weight I have a terrible time with pants. If they fit me in the waist/hips they are huge in the legs. But I don't like 'skinny' pants as I don't have attractive legs, so I wear a lot of skirts/tights.

    I do have a cute pair of leggings I bought with mesh. :)

    ETA for running. Purely decorative. It's layered on a colored section of cloth.

    Just waiting for my last scheduled patient before heading home. I have tomorrow off, so I get a four day break. This is the best way to kill the time!! It is keeping me out of some chocolate that was gifted to me. Ghirardelli sea salt too.

    Yay, we're good for your diet! ;) It's keeping me from making dinner. :p

    I am trying to sneak it in while looking over my shoulder in this new open plan environment. I missed this.

    Yuck. I had my wisdom teeth out before they ever came in. They had to cut my jawbone to get one out. That was some serious pain. I should quit crying about this crown, comparatively.

    I still have a lot to lose so I have the opposite problem - if it fits my thighs/butt, it's too big in the waist. Pants in general are just frustrating. Skirts/dresses are way more forgiving.

    Lately I have been hiding from the scale, with the super heavy lifts I've been doing I find that my weight is higher than what I had expected. I have some crazy anxiety over the whole weight gain thing so I stepped away for my own sanity.

    I've been scale-free for quite some time now, and it is wonderful!

    I need the accountability to the scale. Otherwise I convince myself I am not gaining weight. When I am. Even if I miss a few days.

    I would be ok with that. I don't like actual see-through mesh panels. They don't seem functional for the gym, and I know there would be weird bulging.

    Whoa, that sounds HORRIBLE. I should stop whining about my tooth, too, if we're comparing it to that! Mine all grew in straight, I was in about a week of agony with each one and then they were out. This last one is killing me though, and I don't think it's straight because now I can't clench my teeth properly anymore. O.o

    I confess I'm not really listening to the call at all, I'm reading posts on here and shopping for workout clothes online instead.

    Seems reasonable.
