Holy COW...I just hugged my knees...

You know the way skinny people sit...where they pull their knees up to their chest and then put their arms around them...I can do it too!!!

And...it's really comfy...no wonder the skinny folk like it so much.

That's great. I also can't wait until I can cross my legs. Crouching down for long periods hurts as well. You go girl!!!!!!! It's amazing the things we can do once we have lost those extra pounds.:blushing:

Isn't this fun?!?

My breakthrough was when I could finally do "happy baby" without my stomach getting in the way!

Just call me "Gumby".

I squated down to teach my granddaughter how to play jacks the other day, and realized I was not hurting anywhere doing it---nor was I tri-podded using my belly for balance!!! It might not have really been that way, but it sure felt that way!!!

I am amazed at how limber I really am without all the extra bulk in the way......so is DH!!!!

woo hoo! i am only one month out from surgery but that is one of my fantasies - that and crossing my legs when sitting. how does that feel?

congrats!

:crying:I remember pre-kids when I had lost a bunch of weight from Jenny Craig. I could finally cross my legs and found myself doing it always. AHHHHHHHHHH to be at that point again.

Another thing I have found myself able to do that I love is pull my leg up, like the original poster mentioned...but I can do that and do my own pedicure. I can paint my nails, and even do it neatly!!!!

Kat

HAAAAAA that's funny! I have been procrastinating on my pedicure for that reason only. I hate doing them on my own and with kids home from school havn't been able to go in. You Go!

Hugging my knees is one of my goals and a visualization I use... I can't wait to be able to do that!!

Congrats!
