Thigh Measurements

In the recent weight I've lost, I have successfully lost inches in my arms, bust, waist, hips, butt, and even my calves. But my thighs are still the exact same. My shirts have gone from an L to an XS and my calves fit into the rain-boots that used to be to slim for me to wear - but my thighs are the exact same. Has anyone else had a similar problem? The only exercise I've been doing is cardio, so I don't think it is muscle bulk.

I have the same problem. I thought it was because I carry most of my weight in my stomach and breasts, and I don't have much of a problem with my lower half, small butt, small legs. So when I lost weight, I lost it where most of the fat was.0

Yep, similar situation. I have very large thighs and a big bum too and it's sadly not possible to spot reduce.
I'm a UK size 10-12 on top and 14-16 on the bottom. My waist is 28.5 inches and my
hips 45!!
I think just sticking with it in the long term is the way to go, it'll be the last place to come off, but it will come off eventually. Eventually, haha.0 -
Yeah, just keep at it, it gets better0

I'm glad I'm not the only one in this boat! I think if I just keep at it, eventually something's gotta change. Right now my dress size is 4 sizes smaller than my pant size.0

Same here - when I take my measurements, I'll be down an inch in my waist and/or two inches from my hips but a quarter inch off my thighs.... Sigh! It will definitely be the last to go for me.0

You might just have muscular thighs. It's a lot harder to break down muscle than it is to burn fat. My thighs are very muscular from years of dance and even when I was at a sickly weight a few years back, they were still comparatively large for my frame.0
