Weight training making me bulky? What else do I do?

That is a photo. To me it looks bulky because I have very slim calves. My calf muscles don't build muscle though, I already train them and my job requires me to work 40 hours a week in heels so they definitely get a workout -_-

Walking in heels isn't a workout that builds muscle in calves

I assume Dave has tried this method? :-)

I'm going to need pics to verify this.

I kinda get what OP was saying. I went through a phase where I felt like my thighs were getting bulkier, because they are relatively big in comparison to skinny calves and although I had lost weight on my upper body my thighs remain larger. Add to this some increased muscle definition in the thighs and it gives the illusion that I'm 'bulking up'. However if I look at my thighs now objectively they are most definitely smaller and more toned due to fat loss. There may well have been some initial gain in thigh size due to water retention. I think it's hard for women to lose the lower body fat at the same rate as the upper body and it does stick round the *kitten* and thighs. If the rest of you shrinks, thighs may look proportionally bigger.

I'm guessing the only remedy for this is to continue strength training with a view to lose a little more fat and build more muscle, not less?
