My thighs have gotten bigger!

How can we tell she is "skinny" if we can only see her upper body? She said she's pear shaped.
OP my thighs pretty much bust out of all my pants now, but I've been at this for years. Everyone said they'll get smaller, but they didn't. Maybe yours will. I will say however, I really like them. They're awesome.
I've been noticing pear shaped girls lately, really, it's such a beautiful shape. Nothing beats a gorgeous *kitten* and curvy thighs in a tight pair of pants/skirt.

Nobody said she's skinny, we said she's a healthy weight for her height and that the science says her thighs are not miraculously larger after 5 weeks of training whilst eating at a pretty aggressive deficit mostly doing cardio.0

You don't have to be skinny to have an eating disorder or have dysmorphia.
One person in how many reasonable science based responses?

I edited. One person doesn't negate the science others presented. Not getting the response you want doesn't negate that.0 -
The healthy range for 5'6" is 118-154, I believe. It's dependent on body composition and shape but 130 @ 5'6" is a good weight. I can't imagine feeling like my thighs were big at that size but I'm 18 pounds heavier at 5'6" and don't feel like my thighs are big.0

Yeah you don;t get to change your response when you're proven wrong. And guess what? I get to address one person who was out of line if I choose to.

Haha. The editing function does indeed allow me to change my response however childish you want to be about it.
The facts remain, OP has no hard data to support her claim her thighs have gotten larger and the science doesn't back it up either. That's what this is about, not how fat or skinny anyone thinks she is or isn't. Most responses sought to reassure the OP she needn't worry and was perhaps being too aggressive with her goals when she is already a healthy weight for her height.
Start and end of story. The rest is needless really, my ongoing relying included but I'm a bored insomniac with Internet access.0 -
@VintageFeline
Yeah, you didn't need to tell us that you're bored. It's pretty clear that you don't have anything productive to do.
You keep telling me that my thighs haven't gained muscle. I've already acknowledged and accepted that many times. Science does show that muscles retain water after working out though. So my thighs being bloated is a very reasonable explanation. I don't understand what you're still doing here and why you're still trying to tell me that I didn't gain muscle. That's kinda old news now. Bye. Go get some sleep, you apparently need it.0 -

I find offering up facts pretty productive as it goes, someone may read this and stop being terrified of getting bulky doing spin classes.
And I'm afraid insomnia dictates if I sleep or not, not yourself or your repeatedly telling me bye. Joys of using public forums eh!0 -
From another spinning thread ...Justthisgirl1994 wrote: »I've read those same articles too. I absolutely love spin, I go all the time (3-4x/week). It doesn't make you fat. The only thing that makes you fat is eating too much. I've definitely gained muscle on my legs and butt, but I don't look bulky there, I actually look a lot better. Spin is also a great calorie burn.0

To be honest a picture would only really be helpful if it was a before and after and as she doesn't measure I don't think she will have taken photos.0 -
You shouldn't be losing any weight at your stats. If you don't like the way you look than its because you hardly have any muscles and possibly are "skinny fat". Take a pic of your legs and post it. Let us judge.0
