Slimming down calves

suenewberry81

I have big calves and wondered when you've lost weight has yours gotten a lot smaller? I want to slim them down because I have a lovely pair of knee high boots and gutted I can't wear them

Fat comes off different body parts at different rates for different people, so anyone else's experience may not necessarily be the same as yours - but rest assured that as you continue to lose weight, it will eventually come off your calves! For me, my calves slimmed down quickly and I was wishing my thighs would slim down as fast.

It's great that you've got those boots, because the weight will likely come off so gradually that you won't notice a huge difference because you are used to seeing your calves all the time - but when you try those boots on and they fit, you will know you've made big progress

I lost 100lbs before and have also always had big calves. I was so worried about the muscles growing too much while I exercised but I was indeed able to wear "normal" knee high boots at that size. It's just a matter of being patient in the process because you can't control where it comes off from. You'll get into them soon!
