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.
" but I don't look bulky there, I actually look a lot better. "
So OP your legs went from looking a lot better to bulky in 8 days??0 -
Oh my goodness. You guys won't stop will you. Of course I was seeing great results. I think I even said my calves were bigger and butt was more lifted in my original post. Recently though, my thighs have started to get bigger, which I know now is because of water retention.
Do you guys srsly want me to post a picture? Wow. Ok. How do i add a pic on here?0 -

Where does it say I want to lose 30 more lbs? I want to lose 3-6 more. Pretty sure I already mentioned that on here. The lowest I ever weighed was 122lbs, but I had a really hard time maintaining that so I went up to 124, which was a really good weight for me. My weight ranged from 124 to 127 for a few years.0

In your profile under progress. It says you have 30 more pounds to go. Anyways you don't need to lose any more weight at those stats. Work on recomping or bulking. Unless you just want to go to the skinny approach and like that "look" with no muscle. GL0 -

Guess you shouldn't put stock in that reading.0 -
lol so I only read OP and not the other posts
but if your legs get stronger your quads are gonna get bigger
if your body fat % drops enough you'll get good definition and have phat quads
tl;dr lift heavy *kitten*, track your food accurately, you'll burn fat and get jacked legs0 -

You can add it the same way you added your profile pic. Or upload it to Imgur and post the link here.
OP, I'd recommend you measure your thighs right now, stop spinning for a month or so, and then remeasure. That should prove it was water retention.0 -
I just read a research study that says that fat is mobilized by a deficit but can be REDEPOSITED elsewhere if it isn't actually used. Soooo it's possible for fat to shift location even as you're burning more. But the effect would be so slight that no one will notice, seriously--and you probably wouldn't, either.
You can also retain water in muscles that are being insulted (medically) by lots of new exercise as they get used to it. That's way more likely.
Start taking measurements if you haven't already. It may just be that you're losing elsewhere and it LOOKS big compared to what it was.
My thighs probably look bigger, but both chafing and measurements tell me they're not!0 -
Sounds to me like you may also be building the muscle in your legs; whether purposely or not.

I too would think it would be helpful to see a pic. Not to judge, but so you can get an honest evaluation from the experienced folks here0
