"standing up to check thigh gap" :laugh:

Ooo I do have a gap! But seriously, I would say it's all about the individual. We're all different shapes, and all bloody lovely with it!

Thanks for your help everyone I'm beginning to think it may be about the shape of the woman rather than the size.
Lynn - have you ever walked 4 miles straight on a very hot day wearing a dress and nothing underneath but underwear? I hadn't experienced chafing until I did that. the sores were very angry and red and extremely painful. Now I'm too scared to walk any distance in a skirt or dress in case it happens again. I was hoping that I might get a gap once I lose weight but I'm almost at my goal and I'm not seeing one forming.

Also, I'm not wanting a gap because of how it looks, I'm wanting one because I don't want to be in physical pain any more when I walk long distances in a skirt or dress

Why don't you wear some shorts? Who would walk that far in a dress?

::raises hand:: Me. I was working at a school in Africa and a skirt was a necessity. Shorts underneath made the heat worse, and I thought I was going to die. Many religious women I know also walk in skirts, as well as a friend of mine who bikes for fun, and my boss who runs marathons in a skirt.

Also, I don't own shorts (never found a pair that looked good on me, so don't own any I'd wear on their own) so that seems like an odd directive coming from one stranger to another.

what is it about this topic that it has to reappear every month?

I think it is psychologically disturbing. The crazies appear out of nowhere to answer....

OP:
thigh gaps are meaningless. Look at all of the gold medal winning women from the olympics. 99% of them had no thigh gaps.

okay. Reality. Please live in it and stop this stupid topic. It has NOTHING to do with "general diet and weight loss help".
