Aren't leg lifts gonna make your legs bigger? My thighs are stupid too lol I am doing cardio(dance) and I pray they shrink.

I'm doing the same thing.. and... my thighs are still HUGGEEEE ... :grumble:

Garsh Darndit.... ME TOO!!!! stupid badonkadonk..... i have always been amazed that some people can have a gap in their thighs when their feet are together.... totally dont get that one....

Cycling.

Works an absolute treat.

Try to do 20 minutes a day 5 days a week (moderate - vigorous) and after a couple of months you should really notice the difference.

I have forever had an issue with my wobbly chubby thighs but now they are half the size and they don't wobble half as much as before, I have been cycling for 10 months now and the difference is unbelievable.

The rest of my body not so much of a difference, but the thighs.....trust me, it works.

Good luck!

^ this --- I truly believe this is the solution - I never had an issue with wobbly thighs when I was cycling ALL the time (on average 6 spin clases a week / logged about 200 km weekly) .... I stopped spin classes over 1 year ago, the WOBBLE has returned!

The more treadmill and elliptical I do, the larger my thighs get! I have gained 1" in total in the past 3 months on them and 1 to 2 lbs of weight. My legs look and feel very strong but I am positive it has caused me to gain weight and get larger just by exercising 1 hour a day. My husband says no way it's fat. He can tell I'm more "built". Causes a problem for my jeans though. I tried on shorts from last summer and the thighs are too small in them. My waist in the same size.

Frustrating!! :-(

This is me all the way I hate it!!!!

Honestly, I'm trying to make peace with my thighs.

I'm at my goal weight with a 21 BMI and I'm still unhappy with my thighs. I run, I do cardio, I strength train. I've come to terms with the fact that in order to lose the thighs I'd have to drop more weight. If I drop more weight my collarbone and cheekbones would look a little gaunt and frankly I like my boobs the way they are So I'm concentrating on trying to make my thighs strong. They're always going to be rounder than I'd like but that's why they invented skirts right?

Work with what you have, ladies! I have ALWAYS (even when I was teeny tiny at 120 pounds-- now I'm 153) had big thighs and a big butt. Always. And now, even though I want so badly to be a toothpick, I'm focusing on toning my thighs and making them healthy and strong looking. My biggest goal is to eliminate cellulite. That's my biggest issue. i'll take my huge thighs and strong calves if it means that I can wear booty shorts without wanting to cry!

Thighs are a sticking point for me as well! I am just trying to cardio them to death. lol

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It I had a choice between a way to be build, i'd take the bigger thighs. I actually decided to stop trying to make my thighs smaller because it was my body type, so I made my shoulders and upper body bigger to look more symmetrical. I have a tiny waist too. I'm now very curvy instead of very tiny on top. Embrace your legs/thighs & just work on toning them. I do a lot of circuit classes to get a good burn/heat on my legs without using any weights. It's what works for me. LOL

Totally agree. Big thighs are sexy as long as they're strong and tone. Symmetry in the body helps balance it all out. Embrace them, girl.

I have the same problem. They're always the last to change and they change VERY slowly. My calves are almost instant. I can see a difference in a few days (along with my waist) But the arms and legs take FOREVER. Stick with it and don't worry too much about certain body parts. Just worry about staying on track.

Running made mines smaller...

i have a huge bottom and thighs since starting the 30ds I have lost about an inch in both my thighs my bottom just sits up a lot higher and looks fuller now

run... ever see a marathoner with thick thighs?

I just ran a 1/2 marathon and my thighs would still be considered big. Professional marathoners also run upwards of 50 miles per week and have done so for many years, which would be disastrous for the average person.

Sprinters, who also run, have large and well developed muscles.

Running isn't the answer. The afore mentioned marathon runners have the absolute minimum body fat required, which is why they have skinny legs. Less weight = easier to run.

Any weight training is going to encourage muscle growth. You can't spot reduce. You can be thankful that you store your excess fat in a pear-shaped fashion, as it's much healthier than carrying excess fat around your abdomen.

IMO you have two options:
1. Decrease your overall body fat %. Note that the places you gain the most weight are typically the last to lose weight. Nature is stubborn.
2. Love your body and work with what you've got. There's nothing wrong with having strong, prominent legs.

i used to cycle a lot - and had big thighs. now i run and have big thighs. my sisters have big thighs, my mother and her sister have them... see a theme here? all i can do is work on making them less jiggly, but they will always be big compared to the rest of me...

fittocycle

I agree with the advice about cycling. Also, try spin class as well. Have you ever noticed that the hard core cyclists have great leg muscles? Their legs might not be small but they are powerful. I'd take powerful over thin and flabby any day!:laugh:

I've had big thighs for years. I finally made peace with them and then guess what? In my forties, I gained a belly pooch. Personally, I'd rather deal with the large thighs than my pooch!!
