    So stop trying to starve yourself for thin thighs, because you will lose your T and A before those go anyway
    and yes, as a personal trainer, the only way to get a thigh gap is to become an anorexic, cardioholic, mess which will destroy you
    Coach Teresa
    This is a direct quote from her profile: "As of Sept. 22, 2012, in fat burning mode to cut more fat off of my thighs". Ironic much?

    Lolz - and the fact that the OP's profile says she is at 15% BF - which is very lean to start with.

    Oh the irony!

    The fit lady didn't get to look the way she does by starving herself let me assure you!!!!! Just training hard and eating will give you that kind of body!!!!

    wow, what an incredibly offensive opening post. Not all of us can have boobs even at higher weights. I can't. Those girls are perfectly in proportion. I'm not. I naturally have bigger thighs and hips, but smaller boobs. I guess you're saying that I'm not normal.

    oh and I'm 5'4" and 118 pounds which is clearly not anorexic and I have thigh gap because I have wide hips. I even have big thighs. It's just that my hips are wider. Pretty sure I had thigh gap at my highest weight of 140 iirc. That opening post is not only offensive, but it's idiotic coming from someone who claims to be a personal trainer.

    I don't really understand the point of this post.

    The reality is that we are all different. We all store fat differently. Our bodies are all comfortable at different levels of body fat. We prefer different levels of lean mass and again body fat. "Unhealthy" is really between us and our doctors.

    and don't even get me started on how this pic below is no different (okay. the fake boobs make a small difference) compared to the pictures above of the models. Anorexia is anorexia.

    you can be a fit anorexic person too.

    Yeah I don't see why you think she is anorexic
    what the hell is wrong with THAT?

    she's not even close to "anorexic" looking.
    You need to get your head out of your *kitten* and get over yourself....

    Yeah I don't see why you think she is anorexic
  • Thank you for telling me I'm not a "normal" woman.

    You are beautiful and totally look like a woman!


    Anyways, I love this post. I think some of the stuff is harsh. I have seen women who are normal/healthy with thigh gaps. Some people naturally have them.
    It made me feel better to see the normal weight models. I get down when I see women who are obviously very underweight on magazine covers for Victoria Secret. This society is jacked up, telling me that at 130 pounds and a size 4/6 that I am FAT.

    some women naturally have shorter waists which means they have long legs usually. for instance i'm 65" total and 40" of that is from the top of my hip to the bottom of my feet. my legs are longer even than some women who are 4" taller than me.
    can i borrow some of your legs? i'm 64" and my legs are only 28"!
    well, my inseam in 28". but still! when i sit down next to my boyfriend who's 7 inches taller than me, i'm only an inch or two shorter. it's kinda ridiculous.

    That's because they are women. Women normally have extra padding in two places, and great hormone health from a diet high in EFAs and complete proteins with colorful veggies will give you this look.

    ooooooooooh, so i'm just not eating enough EFA's and protein and veggies and THAT'S why my boobs are small. It has nothing to do with genetics, right?

    What a load of crap coming from a supposed fitness coach.

    WTF is this post.

    You can't diagnose an eating disorder based on a photo.

    Are you my twin? My husband is almost 8" taller than me and, yeah, almost the same height sitting down. If I ever get a thigh gap (although I don't really care that much either way), it would at least help my legs look a bit longer, LOL.

    either you get an A+ for trolling, or a swift kick in your body-shaming *kitten*.
    I want to give the OP the benefit of the doubt, and hope this thread started out with misguided but helpful intentions. But what a train wreck.
    ...
    But outlaying reams of "normal pictures" on a site where people are in various states of health and bodies themselves might not yield such good results.
    ...
    Yep.

    I imagine that is the case but the MFP mob personality took over and once that happens there is no hope
  • From a man's perspective who totally loves his wife of 33+ years...the body we live in will eventually fade. No doubt at 58, she is incredible looking. However, it is her soul, her mind, her humor, her smile, and her heart that "turn me on". But far more than TnA, which she is blessed with, it is the deepest of love that goes far beyond just mere skin.

    There is a person inside each of those pics...I'd rather get to know that person than goo over external appearances. But, I am 54 years old and yes, my wife was once a model...I fell in love with her, not her body...that was just icing on the cake.

    I'd offer this...get heathy, stay healthy body, soul, and spirit. You will have a far better life.

    From the "Old Guy" dept..
    Beautiful words :)

    It has nothing to do with mob mentality and everything to do with someone posting things that are offensive, rude and downright wrong.

    perhaps...but there is definetely a mob personality here

    it sometimes goes in support or the other way

    but it does happen

    This is a losing fight especially with women. as evidenced by so many people offended.

    I am offended. What does that say about me?

    Ladies, ladies. This can all be settled in a tub of jello. Or KY
