    Calf raises. Lunges. Squats. You gotta tone those legs and get them strong! Good luck!

    It's genetics. Sorry. I have them at 185, I had them at 135 and a size 2/4.

    Frankly, when I get down there again, I'm going to a plastic surgeon to see if there is anything to be done about it. I'm just not sure there is since when I feel around them when I'm thinner, I feel no fat, it's all solid. My dad and brothers all have them too.

    Now, if yours are more fat, thats a different story - but in my case, it wasn't and they never went away - they got smaller with the rest of me, but always stayed cankles.

    I think it is genetic too...not much you can do about them. Except to give them more curvature by working out and burning off the fat.
