Hello! I am around 5'5 (a bit under), weigh 115 and have about 21% BF. I measured my thighs and they are 16.5 inches. Is this bad or good? It seems too small compared to my stats

    The thing is my waist is only about 27 " so I feel like it isn't proportional

    I'm not perfectly proportional either. I'm 5'6 and I weight 125. My waist is 26/27 and my thighs are 20/21.....I have always been pear shaped. I'll take some off my thighs and give it to you, ok? LOL :tongue: Are you measuring at the widest part?

    I have a 25-26 inch waist and the tops of my thighs measure about 22.5 inches. I feel out of proportion but I always get told I don't look it. I wouldn't worry about it. We're always way more critical of ourselves than others are.

    I am indeed. I just want some of my abdominal fat to move to my bum and thighs hahaha

    Haha, depending on how well I've been sticking to my diet my waist is between 27 and 29...and my thighs are currently 24" around. Pretty close!!

    It sounds a bit on the small side... Did you measure around the widest part of your thigh?

    If so, don't worry, I guess you just have slim thighs! Woot woot for you!
