I can cross my legs!

I don't remember the last time I could sit with my legs crossed. I'm almost 3 months out and I've lost 70lbs. Only obese people get what an accomplishment it is in the simple act of sitting comfortably with crossed legs. 20 more lbs and I might brave high heels. HW 330 SW 319 CW 245.

I am so with you. I remember the first time I crossed my legs in ages and it was like.... OMG!!!!!!!!!!
No one else cares or notices, but for me it was a big milestone.

Another one is no longer having anxiety about getting up off the floor.

Congrats on your crossed legs, on to the heels :-)

I just started being able to cross my legs, too! It's still a tight fit, but possible!

Today, the towel closed at the bottom!! A large bath towel (it wasn't a beach towel)!

Lol. I so remember the excitement I first had, when I could cross my legs like the old men.. I would be at work in meetings with my legs crossed my coworkers would just chuckle at me..

Crossing my legs is the best thing. I find myself doing it all the time. Oh my, and the heels. I'm so excited to wear them again. No matter how much weight I gained I refused to throw my shoes out. Last week I tried on shoes and just took pictures of my feet. I know it sounds crazy but I was so excited to be able to walk in them.

Can't wait til I can cross my legs! Good for you!

That's so exciting! Good for you! And good for you for recognizing that these things sometimes mean more than the number on the scale! Keep up the good work!
