So close to the no-thigh-touch!

I'm a runner and for as long as I've been running I have had to wear knee-length running pants even in the summer because my thighs touch when I run. This is ok over a couple miles, but after 5 miles and 10 miles it's excruciating. I have been dreaming of the day when I can wear a pair of Nike running shorts and hit the road without even thinking twice about it. I am literally millimeters away from my goal! Not sure how many pounds off it will take to get me there since unfortunately we can't will our bodies to lose weight precisely where we want, but it's within reach. I don't care if it's the middle of winter, I'll be in those Nike shorts celebrating pain-free!

    Congrats! I want to be part of this club too, perhaps you have just given me a new goal....
  • This is one of my goals, too. I'm a lot further away than a few millimeters though. :). Good luck! You'll get there in no time

    I have this same problem as a runner. I put vaseline all the time so it doesn't hurt. I still have a long way to go but its great to hear people's success story

    This has been one of my life goals for so long, not gonna lie. It might be tough, I seem to be just built this way, because I had this problem before I got overweight. Still. I want to wear skirts all day in July, damnit!

    I hope that day comes for me I have worn holes in pants from my fat thighs XD they definitely do touch less than when I started.
