OMG, I can't believe it......I crossed my legs tonight....it just happened! I was not thinking about it or trying....it just HAPPENED!!!

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can cross my legs, but I used to be able to not only cross them but twine the foot of the top leg round the back of my calf. Always gave me pins and needles but it is an elegant way to sit.

Now as for crossing my legs in a plane seat or in a stadium, I will never be able to do that. They're way too long, I have to sit either on one buttock with my legs to the side or like a bloke with my legs apart in those tiny seats, they're designed for short people. Oh well, probably just have to fly first class instead, I wish.

Congratulations, Margo!!

Jachut, I used to say the same thing. I'm so tall I never thought I'd be able to fit comfortably in an airplane seat no matter how much weight I lost. But this past summer I was amazed to discover that with weight loss my butt had shrunk, giving me much more room in the seat front to back. I was able to cross my legs with ease!! What a great flight it was, between that and not needing a seatbelt extender.

thats awesome....and can make for great motivational exercise...cross and uncross...cross and uncross.

Awesome!!

OOOOOH - t

OOOOOH - then

OOOOOH - then I will look forward to that Alexandra. Now if you can figure a way for me to fit my legs under our antique dining table, I'll be really pleased. It's so low to the ground.

Gawd, no idea what happened there!

Fantastic! I am so happy for you!

Crossing your legs could cut off or decrease your circulation causing a blood clot. This is what they told us in nursing school.

What nursing school did you go to? I never heard that, nor do I think there is anything to back it up, although no one should sit for any great time in any position and not move around, especially on a long plane trip or car trip. You are in no more danger crossing your legs then sitting flat footed.
