    How fat do I have to get to have hips? The answere is: never gonna happen. I have weighed 153 lbs and I did not have hips--I had big boobs and a fat gut but no hips, no butt. Why? That is how my body is designed. I am an inverted triangle. I will never look like Marilyn Monroe or Beyonce. But I can look as good as possible for my body style--that is my aim. Don't try to achieve something that isn't in your genetic make up. I am 5'4 132 lbs and I have a thigh gap but no hips.

    Love this!

    What the H IS a thigh gap? I thought I knew but think I've been confused.

    You're 18, 5'4 and aiming to get down to 100 lbs, which would put you at underweight for your height.

    You're profile says your inspirations are to have others think you're beautiful.

    I think you should stop looking at the number on the scale, or the thigh gap, or trying to fit into anyone elses expectations of beautiful. Focus on being fit and healthy. Mentally aswell.

    Pringles can thigh gap tutorial

    Just came up with this, but it WORKS!

    Step 1: eat a can of pringles

    Step 2: cut the bottom of the can off

    Step 3: place pringles can between your upper thighs

    Step 4: using ample duct tape, secure the can between your thighs

    Step 5: celebrate!

    Nevermind. This cleared it up. I don't care about the thigh gap, but I would like the diamond. In fact, I will probably build my legs/thighs to the point that I no longer have a thigh gap, but I'm looking forward to the diamond. :-)

    ETA: OP, there is no magic number, it is a genetic pre-disposition.

    I'm 5/4 how much do you think I need to weigh around to have a thigh gap? I know it depends on your hips and things but just an estimate. I weigh 113lvs at he minute and don't have one, please don't just say I'm the right weight now because my body isn't toned or slim at all :)
    If you don't have one at 5'4" and 113lbs, you're not going to have one at any semblance of a healthy weight.

    Protip; everyone has a thigh gap when it matters.

    Leave her alone if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. For all those negative comments you all took time out to say them. Pathetic.

    Not everyone can get the thigh gap, and there wouldn't be a certain weight even knowing your height. Just keep working on your inner thighs, there's machines for that.

    ^^I don't get how that is a thigh gap. Or i guess I don't get why having skinny legs gets a new name :laugh:

    I would call it spreading your legs. :laugh:

    If you have kids one day, your body will produce relaxin, a hormone which will allow your tendons and ligaments to loosen somewhat. The arrangement of your femurs and pelvis with respect to each other will likely change, and certainly, if you give birth vaginally, you can expect some distortion of your current physiology in a way that may be permanent. In such instances you probably will have created the gap you seek.

    ANYONE ELSE AROUSED RIGHT NOW?! ZOMG.

    It's hard to tell as it really does depend on hip and frame size. If you focus on body recomp (lifting weights and staying the same number on the scale) you may find yourself more toned and smaller in the thighs. It's just a suggestion, I wouldn't put all your hopes on a thigh gap because it's mostly genetics.

    Just to add, you username heidilizzie? My first name and middle name is Heidi Elizabeth, so if that's yours too, then snap! :D

    It definitely has to do with muscle tone. If you are 5'4 and 113lbs it is definitely not about your weight. Try focusing on building muscle with strength training and you will see the difference.

    I agree with this.

    Gap is good.

    Note the only one who's legs aren't touching has the biggest hips... and that her and the middle one are both turning in their knees.

    Notice that scrawny there -- the model in the sequined shorts -- has a gap between her thighs only because her feet are shoulder-width apart? That's true for a lot of women. When you could count my ribs thru my T-shirt, I didn't have one, either. Sorry, but that's anatomy.

    without reading the 3 pages of replies ..

    I'm 5'4 .. and have always had a thigh gap .. I'm 46 years old now and had it before and after I had a child. I've weighed between 105-120 lbs. It's truly a matter of bone structure and genetics.

    There is weight training that will help you burn the fat over those inner thigh muscles .. but if you're even super lean with no fat .. you might still not have that "gap".

    My guess with exercise and working with weights you can probably get it .. however .. please don't fret over it as the "ultimate" goal .. otherwise, if it doesn't happen .. you'll forever feel defeated and I bet you are FABULOUS and perfect as you are now! :heart:

    I don't care if I ever have a thigh gap, I'll just be happy to not have my thighs violently rub together when I walk. Wearing a dress in the summer, without having to wear tights underneath, is my greatest dream of all.

    ^ This. Well said. I have one, but I honestly can't tell you when it happened because I wasn't obsessed with it. I just happened to realize one day that "Hey, would ya look at that!"

    If you're already at 113lbs, then your weight isn't the problem. You need to cut down your body fat, and to do that you have to strength train. Even then, no guarantee that you'll have a "thigh gap". That's just how some bodies are.

    this. you are the perfect weight for yourheight. we are all built different, i am 5'4" as well and when i was around 110 i had one. just depends on how you are built. i wouldn't reccomend for you to drop anymore weight
