Some of you Ladies that are already at or close to your goal can you please answer this question for me? what size are thighs supposed to be? Then I know what I am aiming for :laugh: :wink:

    i think there could be a ton of different measurements here - i mean, you could go for twiggy or you could go for xena. i'll take xena's thighs in a heartbeat!

    Definitely not going for twiggy. I just read an article that said people with really skinny thighs had twice the risk for heart attacks!
    Well just wanted an average thigh. Why do they always look so big, especially if I am looking down on them like when I am sitting.

    It's not so much that skinny thighs have more risk, it's the overall shape. Those who put weight on around their middles, as opposed to their hips and thighs, have a higher risk for heart problems.

    As for thigh size, that's also going to depend on a person's shape and predisposition for where they carry their weight. It's genetic, there's little we can do about it. I'm never going to have skinny thighs, and may not even get them to lose any inches while I'm trying to lose weight, because I always lose it there last.

    At 5'3" and 130 pounds, my thighs are 22". Too big, in my opinion, but they are MY thighs and I have to live with them until they decide they are ready to be smaller. :)

    don't sweat the small stuff - you'll get there! you've come a good ways already - your thighs will be just like you want them in no time! i'd hit them hard with some squats and lunges - that will do some major toning!

    My thighs are the worst! I'm 5'7 and 133. Last I measured (about a week ago) they were 21" I'm definitely pear shape so most of my weight is in my butt and thighs. I wish we could pick and choose where we wanted the weight to come off. I have noticed that running is helping in slimming them down though. Some people wish for a flat tummy, I wish for skinny legs!

    wow 29 inches that is impressive. I just measured mine and in the right place this time :brokenheart: :huh: 25 inches I liked it better the other way I measured ...I know I want a nice pair of legs. My relatives always said I have stove pipe legs like auntie flossie! well that is not what I want! I guess I will have to be happy with them they still carry me around :tongue:
