This is a huge NSV for me as I have not worn shorts in public for years! Even when I was in the Caribbean last year, I wore jeans/cropped pants the entire time. The crazy part is that I've never really minded my legs-- they're fairly thin/toned in comparison to the rest of my body-- but for some reason, I've just not felt comfortable enough to show them off.

Today, however, I wore a pair of shorts to class, and hardly felt self conscious at all! Good thing, too, as I don't know if I can handle another summer in long pants.

I might even graduate to dresses/skirts soon...

Congrats I have some in my closet...maybe I'll put them on this summer. My legs aren't my favorite

Congrats! I too have put on shorts. Last year I didn't dare wearing shorts shorter than the bermuda but this year I'm wearing them!!! I wore one today actually!

Congrats! My problem is not so much my legs but my stomach (aka the FUPA). Skirts are fine since they flair out but anything fitted against my tummy is just NOT A GOOD LOOK for me.

Congrats!! Keep working that self-confidence!

Congrats! I feel the same way about my arms/shoulders - except mine are *not* toned/thin compared to the rest of my body. They always tend to look flabby - unless I'm at a *very* low weight (had a bout with anorexia as a teen). I finally went outside in a spaghetti strap sundress the other day (and nothing to cover up the arms) and felt totally confident and great. it was awesome!

Congratulations!! I just don't have the confidence yet...I absolutely hate my legs. I hope I can get over that soon. It's already hitting the 100s...gah

Girl I DO NOT know how you did it..at my highest weight I still HAD to wear shorts..I'm a VERY hot natured person and couldn't go a WHOLE summer in the 90 degree heat without wearing shorts lol. Congrats on your NSV we need to see pics now!! lol

I wore shorts for the first time in years a few weeks ago. Even though my weight is still very high, I think I felt more confident because I feel they have toned up some due to exercise. I also think that with maturity, I have grown much more self confident. I've realized that other people do not look at my legs the same way I do...they see them as legs...that's it lol.

If anything, I think I am more ashamed of how white my legs are lol...but as my friends told me, I have to wear shorts more to help with that problem!

Congratulations! I agree with JLNichols07, I live in Arizona and you have a death wish if you step outside during the summer months in long pants/jeans! Keep going, you're almost at your goal!!

I could never weat pants in the summer! it's too hot and humid here and I'd go insane!! Congrats though! I know it's a great feeling to finally do something you haven't done in awhile because of weight! I think even if my legs got bigger I'd still have to wear shorts! I need to tone them though! lol

Woo congratulations! i dont think i'm going to wear shorts this summer, maybe if it gets really bad but i really hate my legs, even my calves, i have normal sized ankles and then i dont know they just get huge! and most of it is muscle i just dont know why there so huge! ahhh! lol, and my arms are super flabby too no matter what i do i look like i could fly away with these wings! i still wear tanktops though i just dont dare to wave or anything hahaha! maybe someday... lol but congrats again i would kill to wear shorts right now its getting hotter up here idk how much longer i can take it!

Woohoo way to go im not as brave as you lol im 160 but my theighs are big but ive noticed they are shrinking lol so I stick to capris for now

Congrats! =)
