One of the things I'm looking forward to the most is being able to comfortably cross my legs. Sexily and effortlessly.... As an obese 20 something year old, I've never been able to do that. Ladies that have gone from 50-100 lbs overweight to a healthy weight, has crossing your legs been exciting? Lol. I know this sounds silly but it's one of my ultimate goals

Well, I'm about 20 pounds from my goal weight. I've lost about 90 pounds.
I can easily cross my legs and have been able to do so for a long time, but my legs are my thinnest part.0 -
I have to do that little shimmy-sideways-lift-my-leg-over move. So It'll be exciting for me to just to whip that bad boy over and feel awesome doing it! I think another 20lbs and i'll be able to. Im stoked!! So, NO WAY is it a silly goal.0

I'm not a healthy weight yet, but I've been able to cross my legs easily for a good while now. I'm bottom heavy, carry my weight mostly in my butt and legs, but regardless I've been able to cross my legs probably since I was about 240 (almost 50lbs down) or so. I'm 203 now. With my legs crossed my ankles are quite near each other as well, which has been nice and a lot more comfortable than when one ankle is far off from the other and dangling up in the air somewhere.
When losing weight, fat becomes "looser", or "squishier" so-to-speak, so crossing legs is a lot easier at a higher weight if you're also losing weight, than it is if you're at your highest weight. You may likely find as you lose weight that you'll be able to cross your legs at a weight on the way down that you couldn't cross them previously at that same weight when your weight was going upwards.

This is good to know!! I was certainly thinking back to being even 100 lbs lighter and couldn't cross my legs... So I'm looking forward to the change. Thank you!!0 -

We will BOTH get there! Good luck sweets!0 -
I´ve already lost about 17 kg, and even thought I could easily cross my legs before, I could not sit in a yoga position. Now I can put both my ankles over my knees. I look forward for the moment when I´ll be able to put my knees under my chin and sit on my heels0

I wasn't able to cross my legs before either. I've lost 46lbs and just recently figured out that I was now able to. Lol....i never thought about it as a NSV but now I get it. However I carry a lot of my weight in my legs still...i have 28lbs to go so maybe it will get even easier. Good luck to you!0

I can cross my leg but not as perfect tho.0

I couldn't when I first started (209lbs). I can now (167lbs) and it probably started around 10 lbs ago. It's certainly not sexy and effortless yet, but I've noticed that its more comfortable to sit with my legs crossed than not.0

Can't remember when, but yes, I can now cross my legs nicely. However...what I've found is that it's really not good for you LOL. I do it all the time now, even working at my computer, and it's kind of messing up my hip alignment!0

not for nothing- but you may ALWAYS have rubbing thighs.
Mine have rubbed and touched since I was about 14 years old. I've never been fat- they still rub and touch- and clearly- I'm not over weight.
So- just a fair warning- you may still have to deal with the problem- it's certainly LESS of an issue- and you can get away with capris pants and not shred them- but- le sigh- some of us- we were born with fabulous tree trunk legs. That eat shorts. LOL
OP- I can cross mine- but sometimes I have to shimmy over the top- depends on the desk- I do not have lean legs at all.0 -
Not a lady, but for what it's worth, I sometimes sit with my legs crossed because it stretches my hip out.
I've lost 45lbs, and noticed the other day that I can now cross them "lady style" with ease.0 -
