Absolutely...truth had to be put out there.Pop Pilates - Inner thigh insanity. I've lost 1 inch off each thigh in a week and a bit. it's brutal, but amazing. and thigh gaps are attainable; i have very small hips and my thigh gap is starting to come through
according your profile you also have an ed and are only 97lbs, not a recommended way to get a thigh gap :S
That wasn't very nice
But necessary to keep someone else from attempting such extremes.
On an unrelated note, haven't seen you in a while, looking like great progress in your latest pic, congrats! 0 -
I'm bow legged, is that the same thing as a thigh gap? LOL!
While we are on the topic, what exercises do you all recommend to get rid of my bow leggedness?0 -

Thigh gaps are overrated. If you want great legs though: Squats, lunges, and deadlifts.0

My poodle has a killer thigh gap. She eats her poop sometimes. Worth a try.0

Have hip bones genetically that allow the thigh gap.
Most likely the only way you'll for sure get one... no matter how thin you are.
Exactly. Like almost everyone on here is saying, it's only about your genetics and bone structure. If you have close-together hip bones you would be nearly killing yourself to try to achieve a thigh gap. Don't let society put standards of beauty which are physically unattainable in your head like that. Instead, be proud of the body you have and dress to suit your great body traits. If you have closed hips and are unable to get much of a thigh gap, I bet you look amazing in pencil-skirted dresses.
Also, just to the person who commented on Blogilates, I am an avid follower; however, don't put unrealistic expectations into her head...Cassy Ho herself, while skinny and fit regardless, DOES have reasonably wide set hip bones which is why she has such a pronounced gap.0 -
Argh I hate thigh gap threads! They're like breeding grounds for the pro-ED crowd to show up with horrible advice.
OP- The truth is it's a combination of genetics and body fat %. There is no such thing as an exercise that can remove fat from one specific area of the body- it just doesn't work that way. If you don't have the genetics for a thigh gap, you won't get one. If you do have the genetics, overall body fat reduction is the only way it will happen. No amount of pilates or yoga or thigh blasting DVDs or thighmasters will get you there. It's bittersweet news, I know.0 -
I am suddenly craving something between my thighs.0

I'm a woman and I don't get it.
The hottie pinups girls from the '50s and '60s didn't have thigh gaps. That's the body I want.0 -

bwahahaha
Love funny posts that make a point!
Answer: If you aren't as tall as you want to be, it is because you aren't working at it hard enough. You need to do more cardio, lift harder, and stay under your calorie limit. You might try high protein/low carbs or paleo, although the paleo could backfire because I think early humans were shorter than we are now.
You can try height enhancement surgery. They will break your legs in several places, insert screws and rods, and you'll have to stretch the rods apart periodically. Be prepared, though, for the fact that there are people who look down on height enhancement, and may ask you if your height is real or fake.0 -

Yes! Please tell me these are not ADULT women obsessing over "thigh gaps". Oy!0 -

They're usually pretty young. The adult women usually just want to figure out how to stop wearing through their jeans, which is legit.0 -

Thigh gap = Yuck.
Just my opinion, I like my full shape! I think I'd look disgusting with a gap there! 0 -

There's nothing wrong with a thigh gap if that is your natural shape. When it's not and you starve yourself to get it, there's a problem.
If I ever reach goal and I have one, I won't be upset about it. And if I don't have one (I probably won't), then I won't be upset about it.0 -

Funny thing is, adult women who manage to get the thigh gaps nature didn't see fit to provide for them tend to end up with the legs of little girls. Or Big Bird.0 -
Yeah, it's typically the underage pro-ana kids that worry about this ****. You know, kids with usernames that include "ana" or "anna" in them. Hey, wait a minute...What is the obsession with this and women? I don't get it.

When I'm really motivated to work on my gap, I stand with my legs a little farther apart. ;-)0

Yes, exactly! And I would look gross with one, I am tall and curvy, it would be freaky! And to the super sensitive person who said my "full figure" would be yuck to some-- I think you're in the wrong place hunny. I clearly stated it was my opinion of my own body. This is no place for insults.0 -

Thigh gap = yuck is not about YOU, it implies it's yucky on anyone who has one. Maybe you came across differently than intended, but I understand the comment about the full figure. It's become OK around here to bash thin women and it's annoying and rude.
If that's not how you meant it, that's fine. But it does read that way.0 -

Lol. Good for them. I can have whatever OPINION I want of my OWN shape (which is what this comment was, btw)
Easy on the insults. This site has turned into a highschool popularity contest and cliques. THAT is yuck.
*EDIT this was NOT an attack on thin women! I myself used to be very UNDERWEIGHT, and I looked sick that way, there is nothing wrong with being thin! I am just stating that I think *I* would look gross IN MY OPINION with a thigh gap. I apologize that defensive people took it this way. I just wish more women would love their bodies and be happy with the success they have had thus far, but that's more the fault of the media than anyone.
I hate the amount of hate on this site.. and this is why I rarely post in the threads

It wasn't an insult. I was just letting you see how some people might take offense to it. Sure you were talking about yourself but you opened up by just saying its 'yuck'. I don't have a thigh gap but I understand that some people can't help the way they look. I wouldn't just go bashing anyone for looking whatever way nature intended them to look.
Sorry if I took it the wrong way, but it did originally come across as you saying it was something gross on anyone.
(I don't get the popularity contest part nor am I sure what clique I'd belong to since I don't speak to anyone individually on here but whatever)0
