Ladies who LOVE their thighs - WELCOME!

Love my thighs! and my butt lol Everyone is so scared of losing their boobs and can't wait to get rid of their butt and thighs... and I am SO the opposite!!!!

I can't tell you how much I needed to read this. And here I thought my thighs were disgusting!!
You are all so beautiful.

One day, this will be my after picture you are awesome!!!!!

You looking damn fine there girl!

I love this thread! So much positivity and women being comfortable with their bodies!

I love my thighs, hips and curves and so does my Hubbie. He has told me to get fit not thin, real men love curves!!!!

Aww, that sounds like my hubs. I love when men love their women and want them to be healthy but real.

On topic: You are all awesome! I still don't like my thighs but am getting more comfortable with them the more I work on them. My goal is to rock a pair of shorts in public ! :glasses:

*edited after I read this post:

I love my thighs even though the are bigger than usual as I'm still quite far from my goal weight. The things I love about them are that they have served as a nice comfy cushy place to bounce my baby and set him on while nursing him, teaching him to feed himself, and hold him against when he ever became frightened of new situations as a toddler.

Thank you for the reminder. I have one for each of my girls to sit on...and they got me through my one hour elliptical session this past weekend (may not sound like a lot to some but was a HUGE DEAL for me!)

I don't completely love my thighs (yet), but I don't hate them anymore.

so how many sqauts, lunges, dead lifts and jumps should I do to target this?

I didn't used to appreciate my pear shape nearly enough until I came to MFP. I didn't hate it but I also didn't own it. I came to realize that this hip dip and the area I call saddlebags are actually gorgeous curves that were waiting for the right attitude to come along and embrace them. Having a newer appreciation for them, I find clothes that dress them up instead of drowning them out.

I admit, I was looking for a specific shape, particularly combined with a specific bottom but in the end, I was missing something important--my own beautiful shape.

We women do need to learn to embrace what we have and the shape we are given, regardless of what that is. Look around, there is no one specific shape but there are many beautiful women.

I have no problem "working on my body" but now it is more about learning what my body can do. I look at my pictures and even 10-15lbs ago, I had a more beautiful body than I recognized at that time. The goal has shifted to be more about fitness and achieving a healthy range.

I tell people I'm experimenting. That's exactly what I feel like right now. I'm okay at any weight in the normal range. II'm looking at what different body percentages look like on me. That's another part of my "experiment" but in the end, quite honestly, it is ALL good. I love that for a solid year now, I have accepted exercised and done a variety of new things from Zumba to kayaking to weight lifting. I almost want to start a thread about all the new things and foods I've tried in the past year. We need to celebrate who we are and learn to love the lessons and experiences we gain along the way.

I took this picture during a rest period while doing heavy squats today. Normally I'd be a little let down by how large my thighs appear. But eff it. Made it my profile picture.

do thighs come with that shake?
