Motivation= dreaming about my chubby thighs!

So last night I had a dream about my chubby thighs...aaahhh! It was awful! It motivated me to NOT have chocolate for breakfast. I think the reason I had this dream is that last night on fb, I posted that I wanted to lose 10 pounds by my bday (April 16). Several people posted...from where?! You have no excess weight on your body. I told them, 5 pounds from my left thigh and 5 pounds form my right thigh! Despite the fact that I weigh 174 pounds, I am also 5'10"and have an athletic build so when I say things like "I wanna lose 10 pounds" people go into an uproar. I tell them that is because they haven't seen my thighs naked!! I'm certainly no skinny mini/bean pole, and never will be, BUT I'm not necessarily fat either. All my "extra" weight hides itself in my thighs.

I just had to laugh this morning when I woke up and had dreamed about my chubby thighs! That is motivation to lose these 10 pounds!

LOL a couple of weeks ago, I dreamed I had liposuction. Women do tend to hide their weight on their thighs. People really can't see it until swim suit season. Hopefully the diet and exercise will work and I won't have to resort to surgery.

DH and I had an ongoing joke about my 'manatee flaps' - you know, that back fat that kinda rolls over and flaps around. So I had a dream about my manatee flaps carrying me off to Aruba and it was pretty funny but kept me motivated. Now my manatee flaps are all gone and I have no way to get to Aruba.

I know what you mean, thats were most of my weight is. Better my chubby thighs than apple shaped and flabby waiste lol. Good luck, and I know you can do it. :bigsmile:

Yes, I would rather "hide" my fat in my thighs than elsewhere. I think you can get away with a lot more as a pear shape than an apple shape. My mom is an apple shape while I'm a pear shape and she has a really hard time finding clothes that are flattering. And swimming suit season is never fun to think about!

Good luck to all of you with wherever you hide your weight!

The good news is that I'm finding lots of extra room in pants that used to be tight. I was sitting with one of my students the other day and looked down and thought "Man my leg looks skinny today." I still don't completely like the look of them when I'm naked but they are looking better and better in my clothes. I hope this last 9 pounds takes the fat completely off my inner thighs (that's where I hide mine-lol).

yeah I WISH I hid my weight in my thighs, my best friend is like this and she always looks great in whatever she wears, especially in the winter. I am an apple shape and boy it is tough, even when I was really really fit at 100lbs in high school (track runner) I would think I looked fat in everything cause of my shape! Mother and grandmother all have the same shape. =/ Oh and OF COURSE the first place I have been losing inches from ...MY THIGHS! cause I have been doing a lot of lower body strengthening cause I have bad knees

LOL! The first place I lose weight is in my collar bones/rib cage....NOT where it needs to come from! Good luck to you all!
