Anyone in the same boat as me...I finally bought shorts for the first time in 10 years! It feels like a huge milestone in my weight and self esteem

Congrats!!!

I carry a lot of weight on my inner thighs so apart from knee length bike shorts (which I wear while swimming or underneath skirts/dresses to prevent chafing) I haven't worn shorts in forever too (they will ride up on the inner thighs).

I look forward to the day I can comfortably wear shorts too!

I never stopped, since men’s shorts come to the knee. But congrats! With the amount of sagging skin on my thighs, I won’t be wearing short shorts any time soon.

No Daisy Dukes but in your case Darren Dukes for you! And remember you are going to be a Daddy soon, let him? wear the onesies, you need more dignity Mr F??

It's great but cost me a lot of money lol, i like to be in the water quite a bit and my selection of swim shorts were the big boy rack at walmart, now that i can wear regular size swim shorts i can shop at surf stores and such and may have went a little overboard on buying too many pairs. My buddy said i have a different pair on every 2 hours lol.

Yay you!!!!! That’s awesome!!! I haven’t worn shorts since 1998 when I backpacked through Europe post college graduation and I was thin! Ugh! I did, however, purchase a skirt last week! I’m not dreading our super hot summers here in Silicon Valley bc I can wear skirts now and not the ones from the big girl
Store! I was able to get one from Anne Taylor in an 8! Omg! I still can’t believe it’s true!! The feeling of not dreading the hot summer is so freeing!!

That is awesome! I haven't worn shorts in forever mainly because being overweight makes it really hard to shave my legs. I'm looking forward to the day I can wear shorts again!

Awesome!!! I, too, haven't worn shorts in years!! Finally, we have HOPE! thanks.

I am excited about having my legs back this year, too:) Last summer my edema was the pits....literally....massive pitted edema...which was so disheartening cause I used to really like my legs.

Well...they're back! Yay!

Just this week I tried on my old knee high English Huntseat boots and those suckers fit and look fantastic.

Shorts, capris, skirts....here I come!

If you're buying shorts....remember to get some sexy sandals, too:)

I’m in the valley in southern CA and it’s already 90 degrees. I’ve worn shorts every day I’ve left the house (hernia repair, still struggling almost 4 weeks out). At first I was super self conscious of my thigh stretch marks but finally said eff it. Last night did a self tan and felt like a million bucks. Down 102 lbs and these days it’s the little things that bring me so much joy. I can walk around with no blisters in my inner thighs from chafing. A dress next but I still have belly fat to lose.
