    Something created by the devil himself, I'm sure... Cankles happen when your calf just kinda blends into your foot. Thus, you don't have any ankles. They're more like...piano legs?!?

    I am 5'3 and in the low 120's... I only measured the left one, oops? LOL. I am measuring at 11 1/2, but my bone structure seems to be fairly small...

    I am 5' 2 or 5' 3" , depends on who measures me, LOL............

    My ankles are 18 inchers................I have HUGE calves, bit of fat, but a whole lot of muscle there too..............

    I am hoping to get them down a few inches, I have always had "popeye" calves, when I was in the Army, my calves were bigger than my thighs, LOL

    I can't help but laugh at everyone complaining about thier "big" calves. Pffft, I win. My calves are 19" at their widest point and 10" at the ankle. There is no fat on my ankles, my legs are just built like tree trucks and always have been.

    5'3.5, 123 lbs and 15" calves. Also, 9" ankles.

    But see, that at least sounds like a nice proportion. Relatively slim, fat free ankles and large, muscular calves. My calves are big (though I've lost at least an inch) but the ankles are also big. And fatty. The overall appearance is just not very pleasing. But my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy, so maybe I need to focus on not focussing on it. :laugh:

    I love that sentiment...if only I could live by it! Ha. Just last night, I was sitting on the couch with my boyfriend and I had my leg crossed on the other and was like "Ugh, my legs." He was like "What about them?" I was like "They're so fat!! I have some muscle but all this is still here!" He was like "Babe" in that "You're ridiculous" tone all boyfriends have, "your legs are fine." I try to believe him but when I can push on the fat and it swings...that's not good.
