Summer clothes- shorts

sshintaku

I've always, always had a hard time with my booty and thighs. I'm a classic pear and have always had a small waist that is far superseded by the lower half. After about 4 solid months of work on my legs, I tried on a pair of shorts today. Short ones that wouldn't pass dress code at a high school. My legs looked pretty darn good in them! I feel like I've conquered such a milestone for myself, and it's also the inspiration I needed to push hard through that last little hump. I never thought it was possible for me to have legs I would like to show off.

Congrats. I'm also so pear shaped (at least i think I am), and understand the issue with shorts. Congrats on your progress. Could you share your leg routine?

Good for you. I was walking on the beach last year wearing a sarong of course and passed another women wearing a sarong too, im thinking wouldnt it be cool to just rip this sarong off and scream ladies please lets embrace the thighs we have and show them even though we dont think there perfect, but of course i didnt. I realized that even when i was 17 and 115 lbs i hated my thighs, but that dosent stop me from doing the squats and lunges maybe this will be my year too.

Congrats!! I have a big ol' Latin booty and thighs that I've been self-conscious of since forever.

I've never been confident wearing shorts for fear of the cellulite gracing my thighs.

I'm hoping my weight training will change that.

Thanks for the motivation!

Yay that is exciting. I love shorts, I find them cuter than skirts. Can't wait to rock some soon I hope lol

This is very inspiring to me, since I have the same problem with my legs, I can't imagine them ever looking good, but you have inspired me! Hopefully it won't be long until I look good in a pair of shorts too! Grats on accomplishing this

Congrats! That must feel amazing! I'm a pear, too, so I am familiar with shorts-shame. I'd love to hear your leg/butt workout, as well!

Awesome. I am so happy for you As a fellow pear I can relate, and I'm hoping to get into shorts this summer too!!

I don't have access to weights, so I've been doing alternating days of hot yoga, running, and either 30DS or Daily Burn leg videos. Plus extra squats and stair climbers whenever I'm just standing around at work or whatever. My legs have been tired and minimally sore for the past month straight it's a good feeling though.

WTG!!!!! I work at a high school, and I am required to turn in people wearing short shorts, but I think you've earned the right to wear them!!! Have fun.

Haha me too, and when I tried them on I immediately went "these aren't dress code!"
