    5'8 18.5" thighs with a bit of a thigh gap. I don't love my thighs, that's for sure. I'd like to lose another inch or so :)

    Stop worrying about size and just work on making them look like this..

    I would never want to look like that! Not to mention it's not all that realistic for the average person.

    Anyways, I have no idea what the measurement of the biggest part of my thigh is. I'm about to go check but I know it's probably bigger than most of what has been posted in here!

    So you mean to say my thighs are "huge"??? Sorry I was offended by your post. My thighs are 19.5" & I have a gap in those thighs. My body fat falls along 19-20%.

    Mine are about 29", but I'm a 6'3" male and I cycle a lot, so they're not small. My point? Who cares? Just get healthy.

    I don't think those thighs are not realistic for average people like you. In fact they may even be smaller than what you see in the photo. Lean thighs can make the impression of a big manly thighs but in reality they're not masculine.

    I hate my thighs. I think they are HUUGE (btw: NOT me in my picture :p)
    They are 19-20 inches, and I'd like to know what's considered "small" / "thin"...
    And please don't answer 10 inches.... that's not realistic for me :/

    So, how small is small thighs? :)

    That profile picture, just in my opinion is gross. A girl needs almost twice that

    I don't like anything about that look, her arms, legs, abs...it's too muscular (to me). There's nothing wrong with looking like that, but I don't like it personally and it's annoying when that sort of look gets pushed on people for no reason.

    That photo appears to depict someone with an eating disorder. Which would be against the rules of our website.

    You aren't trying to do that, RIGHT?

    I agree, I think the photo is not appropriate.

    If you want legs like a small child with no femininity then like your profile pic...... however im 5'7" and have 21" thighs and everyone says they would love to have my legs...depends on height aswell i think!

    I'm only 5'2 which makes 20'' look bigger than if I was like 5'7'' ...

    I'm 5'2", 109 or so lbs, and my thighs are 21" at their thickest point. They just barely touch together at that point. I consider my thighs to be thick in comparison with the rest of my body, but they still look and feel pretty good to me. I would be happy to lose one inch maybe, but I would prefer not to go any thinner than that (and my body wouldn't do that anyway because it's just the way my body composition is).

    My thighs are 23 inches each, I think 19-20 is pretty small.

    If your knees are bigger than your thighs, you have tiny thighs.

    Ladies, it's not a number. As long as they can wrap around me, it's good. I'm doing my part to make that an easier task

    smh! :smile:

    It's all about perception. My thighs are pretty muscular, and they are 24 inches at the widest point.I'm 5'7" and my hips are fairly wide so I have a thigh gap at that size. While it was not my ultimate goal, I'm pretty happy with them. I've got a few more pounds to lose, but I'm not looking to lose too many more inches. For someone shorter I think 20 would look pretty good.

    I consider my thighs small- they are 17 3/4 inches around at their widest point (just about nearly up to my butt). I am very lean and my legs are all muscle. I look nothing like your profile pic either as there is a lot of muscle definition in my legs. I chalk it up to years of dancing, genetics, and zumba + weight lifting. I eat around 2000 calories per day, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. OP- it sounds like you are very petite and thinner than me. Don't lose weight in a quest to get thinner thighs- it is not healthy. Eat right, exercise, develop your leg muscles, and learn to love what you've got!

    I wasn't pushing it on people for no reason. I was hinting that it was sexier than anorexic thighs.

    you can't CHOOSE how big your thighs are. it's just how you're born.
    if you lose weight and get into a healthy weight range then all you can do is tone them to make them smaller and tighter, but only to some degree.
    if you don't have tiny thighs then you don't have tiny thighs, move on.

    I don't have the capacity to care about the size of my thighs and how big/small they are compared to other women.

    I'm wondering why thigh size matters enough to generate 7 pages of discussion?

    The answer lies in the number of posters that have deactivated their accounts within these 7 pages. LOL

    I work at a gym, and the charts say "Thinner legs run between 20-22, muscular legs run between 22-24"

    I'd love to see this chart.

    I just chose a picture that motivates me, that's not against the rules right?

    You cannot diagnose an eating disorder based on someone's appearance so I don't see how the photo could be against the rules.


    thank you! I agree,an eating disorder is not measured by looks!
