Hello gals (and perhaps gents),

I'm a petite female towering at a whopping 5'2. I was wondering what a typically average thigh measurement would be for petite woman. I really think my thighs are too huge for my body...maybe I'm just being crazy. Anybody willing to share their stats?

ME
Height: 5'2
Weight: 117 lbs
Bust: 33.5
Waist: 26
Hips: 34.5
Thighs: 21

Maybe I'm being crazy, but the shorter you are , the bigger your thighs look when you're not fit !

I'm thinking 19 inch thighs would be nice!

    I'm 5'4 and my thighs are 21" around the biggest part. I have INCREDIBLY muscular legs though and very little fat on them. I pack my fat on my arms, belly and chest and almost none on my legs. I weigh MUCH more than you at 130, but my BF% is only 20.

    Personally, I like my bigger legs because it helps balance out and make the rest of my body look thinner.

    I'm only an inch taller. My thighs are 19" inches and I have definite chicken-legs. I would love to have thicker thighs. I'm hoping all these squats pay off one day.

    My thighs are between 21-20 inches depending on the day.
    They're mostly muscle with a little bit of jiggle.. They seem thick.. but I still love them!

    I'm also 5'2 & our measurements are almost the same. My stats are: 33-26-35.5 (thanks to my *kitten* :tongue: ), weight is playing at 119-120 lbs. & my thighs are 19.5" with a little gap but good thing I can only pinch half an inch since my thighs have predominantly muscles.

    Squats, lunges & deadlifts are a great way to tone up lower body. Im actually pear & store most of the fat in my lower body but I saw a big difference since I did those exercises with heavy weights.

    No. They're muscular, and getting better defined all the time.

    thank u and amen !!
  • I'm 5'3" and have 21" thighs. I carry my weight in my legs though, and they are gradually slimming as I continue good exercise/diet habits. I don't expect to look like a model any time soon, but there's no shame in having thick, toned legs. :-)

  • I'm 5'1. 90 pounds even and have thighs that are a little below 19 inches...I hate them. I just lost 8 pounds and the biggest part of my thighs are still around the same size. They are now 18 and half my goal is 17 or 16 because I'm skinny every where else except my thighs I feel so unproportionate. Any ideas of have how to lose inches in this area.

    5'0" shorty here!

    Stats:
    Weight: 107 (I go between 104-110 depending on the day lol)
    Bust: 34
    Waist: 26
    Hips: 32
    Thighs: 17

    I want to say that although my thighs are small now, when I started this journey they were 21! I got them so slim by doing a TON of squatting exercises in various classes. A lot of them were done with weights (Body Pump for example). I did a lot of cardio too including tons of Zumba. I also recently took up yoga and that actually seems to help. Oh and interval training is great on the legs! I never really had much of an issue with having thighs when they were larger (and a butt!). I'd prefer a little flatter of a stomach and some actual hips! We're all a bit different :)

    My stats
    Height: 5'1"
    Weight: 127 lbs ---> going for 110lbs
    Bust: 34
    Waist: 28
    Hips: 34
    Thighs: 20

    My thighs are chubby, I think they need to be about 18", there is nice muscle tone, but way to much jiggle.
    Love lifting.

    What is a deadlift, I thought I knew what it was, but apparently not...someone splain?

    I'm 5'2, 150 lbs, and my thighs are 21 inches. I'm not sure where I put all my weight. I have a lot of muscle. Everyone is different.

    I'm 4'11, about 123lbs (down from 148!).

    Chest: 37in
    Waist: 28.5in
    Hips: 36in
    Thighs: 20in

    I think my thighs look "thick" but not fat. I love the way they look when I'm standing or walking, and of course i HATE how they flop over when I sit -- that's the worst. I used to hate my thighs when I was younger, but I have a big booty and pretty large tatas, so I think the thick thighs work on my frame. I would look really weird with skinny little legs.

    I'd say your legs are normal :)

    5'4"

    21.5" thighs - which I'm not keen on! They were 22" though, and that tiny 0.5" has made a visible difference!

    5'4"
    19" thigh
    27-28" waist
    36" hips
    35" bust
    120lb (and small frame)

    Yeah I've got the thigh-gap chicken leg syndrome too. I'm not sure why people find this appealing. I'm told that having thigh-gap + skinny legs is mostly genetic. It is the first place I lose and while I'm trying really hard to slowly lose my (non existent waist--in other words a waist with hardly any definition) my legs are quickly losing inches. I would love to transfer some of these lost leg inches to my waist but it's a no win situation. I like thicker thighs I think they are so lovely. So I guess it just goes to show that we all truly just want what we don't have.
