Hi Ladies,

I started out a size 26 and am cruising down into a 20. For those of you ahead of me in the journey, approximately what clothing size did you wear when you noticed you were crossing your legs comfortably? My legs cross in comfortable chairs, but not in "waiting room" or "office" chairs just yet. How long do I have to wait? To me, that's going to be one of the greatest NSV's....

Thanks!

Hah glad this was bumped yet again, I got my update on it!

At size 18 I was able to easily cross left leg over right no matter what chair I was in.

At size 14 I can cross either leg, anywhere.. even sittin on the edge of a counter, etc. Wooflippinhoo!!

I am a 20 right now, and I can cross mine, but not very comfortably.

I put 22 because I always cross my legs. But I realized I do it "man style" so I can still do that pretty darn fat! Can I change my vote? :thumbup:

I became comfortable doing it for an extended period at 16. but upper sizes could still cross for short periods. Now in a size 10 they are more comfortable crossed than not. :0)

I haven't been able to cross my legs in so long. When wearing a dress or skirt I usually bring a scarf to tuck under my knees to hold them together lol

At 14, I can do the cross quite comfortably/effortlessly, and the foot is notsticking out. However, I cannot yet do the 'hook' - maybe in another 1 or 2 sizes.

Have to smile at the "bone" comments ~

As I begin to trim down, I love when I start noticing and feeling that "long, lean" look - specifically in my arms - wrists and fingers look like a "normal" size person.

Cannot comfortably cross legs yet but looking forward to it - along with the Indian style sitting. For years I have stayed away from getting down on the ground simply because it is too difficult to get back up.

But I do love that chairs are not feeling tight and uncomfortable as much anymore. It keeps me going!!

It has been so long since I have crossed my legs. I stopped wearing dresses on a regular basis because I could not longer cross my legs. I am already short (I have been claiming 5 foot 4 for years but my surgeon's office burst my bubble on that. I am now officially 5 foot 1 1/2) so I couldn't really cross them gracefully even slim. Now I can't even cross them like a man comfortably. Such is life. I will be glad when I can do that. Sigh.

OK, so I was sitting in a two hour meeting yesterday, and didn't think about it, but just crossed my legs! Havent done that in years and I am down to a size 18.

Lol,I can do the hook, but only right leg over left, not the other way around.

Jachut - I wish I could hook...I do cross my right leg a lot easier than my left though. I wonder if they are disproportionate? I haven't measured them...or if it is just the right brain/left brain - strength thing.

Oh MAN I want to be able to cross my legs too, I thought it was just a me thing. lol I feel like a guy with my legs all half spread. I want to be able to contort myself in other ways too, but that is another story...:wink_smile: did I just say that? whoops.:thumbup:

when I was at a size 13 in juniors I couldn't cross my legs comfortably...maybe I'll never be able to...I have really short legs lol...anyone else have this problem?

At a 16 I could cross legs and hold in place(hands on knee)

for short period. Now a 12 and cross fine. Whada great feelin!!
