calling all people with a SPACE between your thighs

I spread my legs wider apart....

I don't think I've had one since I was about 14, and I weighed 125 pounds when I got married. Just have a few curves I guess! I don't expect to get one back...try not to let it bother you. It's just part of being a girl

definitely more to do with our genes and shape, I'm an apple smaller legs. I see the hint of the gap at 180 lbs and 5'6". But I'd give it up to be more of an hourglass, give me some hips and booty.

I really don't mean to sound snotty...

but could I respectfully suggest you spend an evening volunteering in a homeless shelter working with children who live on the streets.

Might put a little perspective on this issue. There really are SO MUCH more important things happening in this world.

Oh god not this argument. Everyone has problems/worries. Are we only allowed to talk about the very worst things in the world? Ok, screw your homeless, what about kids in Africa who don't even have access to clean water. They are worse off so stop talking about those lucky homeless people who can go to a shelter and get free soup.

I know that sounds like reductio ad absurdum but can you see my point. If people can't complain about the little things that bother them about their weight/shape then what does this (or any) internet forum even exist for?

What is the obsession with thigh gaps??!! I don't get it, why are all these girls striving for this? I have one, I honestly never noticed it till I got a tumblr and saw how many girls are starving themselves for a stupid thing some people have and other don't... I get wanting a flat stomach, toned legs, nice butt. But really? A thigh gap? I would rather have toned legs then worry about some gap.. I think curvy thighs with a triangle at the top that you can see through under your "lady area" & butt lol is much cuter! (hopefully at least guys will know what I am talking about, I'm a stripper and I hear guys always talking about there favorite parts on a women & I have never heard thigh gap!) Some people are built to have one, other are not, I have huge hips that stick out, there for my legs are prone to have a gap even at heavier weight, if you have narrow hips you may not have one. Its a silly thing to worry about.

I am 118 at 5'4 btw!

This is a diet & exercise website, so her post was completely relevant. Unlike your response which was in fact SNOTTY. Maybe if you feel so strongly about it you should get off the computer and go work in a homeless shelter! Wow.

You absolutely sound snotty. If you think being concerned over your fitness and body image is so petty then why are you scrolling through forums on a fitness site? Apparently your time would be better spent doing volunteer work wouldn't it?

I just think some women will always be thick in the thighs. No matter what size I have been I have never had a space(gap) between my things. Good luck! :O) Congras on your weight loss.

Set a different goal, then if your thighs so happen to gap along the way it will be an extra little surprise and in the end you can still reach the goal that you set and it will be a double yay!

I think it has a bit more to day with your hips than with your body fat %. I am still really big, and I am already STARTING (note the word starting though), to get a space. I also have really wide hips no matter what size I am, so my legs are naturally further apart than those who don't have wide hips.

I use to weigh 110 lbs in high school, I never had the gap. it is just how my body is made. Try not to worry about it hun!You look great!

Its all about genetics, im afraid. Saw Jennifer Eisenbarth's pictures recently. She has thigh gap at 65kg, she looks so sexy. We built the same way, i hope when i reach goal, i ll get mine too :-)

Honestly, I'm slightly bow-legged (I blame it on the ballet I was forced to take as a child) so whenever I'm 130 or below I have a natural gap. I don't know why girls obsess over it, I think it looks kinds silly >.< but thats just me I also have long legs compared to the rest of me, so maybe thats the reason? Idk, but I'm sure it has to do with genetics.

Same here, slightly bow-legged ex ballet kid. My knees don't touch when I stand feet together so my thighs don't touch until they get to the top. Just don't stand with your feet together and no one will notice whether or not there's a gap.

This is too crazy!

Just this morning I looked in my full length mirror and noticed that I have a REAL SPACE between my thighs for the first time in freaking ages! And its real, like I can see daylight even though my feet and knees are together!

Yay!

I'm 5'1" and just hit 124. I have ten pounds till my goal.

BUT my disclaimer is that I have skinny legs. They're at 19" right now. I am NOT a pear. I think pear shaped people will have more problems finding a thigh gap. My problem is my belly (

My mom always told me I was fat my whole life (even when I had lost weight--though I was still overweight) because my thighs always touched. Mean. But that probably has to do with why I'm so happy to see a gap.

It's all about your body type. My thighs touch at the top, but there is a small space toward the bottom.
