in Getting Started
Okay, so I have a new goal. I haven't been able to do this in years. I am hoping with my weight loss that it will come naturally. Ready for it?

I want to be able to cross my legs under a table.

That's right.....I just want to be able to cross my legs while I am sitting at my office desk or at a restaurant or in a meeting.

Simple, but my thighs have kept me from sitting like that in a long time.

So here's to a 30 pound weight loss and thinner thighs :laugh:

    It's totally reasonable! The little things in life make up for a great day and that is a completely reasonable thing to set your mind too. There are many ways to measure our accomplishments and it doesn't matter how it sounds to other people, it's that feeling of accomplishment you want to feel when you are able to cross your legs in a tight area, and I believe you will get there :) All the best to you!!

    You are not alone. I feel you. I have not been able to do that in a long time. I have naturally big legs, but it would be nice to cross them. Some do it so naturally.

    I didn't know others had this issue too. That's a goal of mine as well. :)

    I'm right there with you!! I have always had big thighs, and I haven't been able to cross my legs for a VERY long time. We can do it! :wink:

    Absolutly not silly!! I am almost at a 40 lbs loss and I was excited this morning because when I put on my jeans this morning and walked down the hall, I didn't hear whoosh, whoosh, woosh of my thighs rubbing together...talk about excited!!

    Whatever keeps you motivated is the right goal to go after!

    I never realized that this was something I wasn't doing until a couple weeks ago when I unconciously crossed my legs and thought "hey - I haven't done this in years - huh....". Good luck!

    Okay - I have not crossed my legs in a very long time. I just tried it right now to see if I could. I find that to be a reasonable goal.

    As for myself - I can cross them now but it is a struggle to keep them that way. Hmm it's the little things that we don't think about with weight loss.

    I think you got this.

    It's not silly at all, just believe in yourself and if you truly want it ... it will happen.

    I am 65, happily married to one, mother of 5, grandmother to 13 and friend to many. I have type 2 diabetes. I lost 50 pounds last year but have managed to gain back half of it. I'm looking for a fitness pal buddy. Someone who is willing to message me at least once a day with encouragement or questions about our success...our families... the weather... or anything.... Just someone to touch bases with and help keep me accountable. I promise to encourage you too. Let me know if you are interested.

    I just tried this, and it seems to be more a table height problem. I've never really considered crossing my legs under a table. But it seems like a reasonable enough goal if the table is tall enough:)

    Totally reasonable! I would like to be able to get in the car without basically jamming my right thigh under and past the steering wheel.
