What is a good thigh measurment?

Mine are huge...that is all.

Do you have a hip reduction goal? Aim for half of that.

(e.g. I want to lose 2 inches from my hips so I am aiming to lose 1 inch from my thighs).

1 inch is a lot! Wrap the tape measure around your thigh an add one inch to your measuremt. It adds a lot more then you might think. In my experience, thigh measurements change a bit slower then hip measurements, so do not get discouraged!

thighs are hot!! a GOOD thigh measurement is ANY thigh measurement haha we need those things to get the hell around!! me personally, i am 5 foot 3 weighing in at 120 (last time i checked haha a month ago) and ive got 19.5 inch thighs at the widest....its all relative though for anyone. im a power walker but i should get into running again!

In proportion to the rest of you.

This.

You can't compare yourself to a random measurement. Keep at it until you get to where you like it!

Makes sense. Was curious if there was a good range that people were comfortable at or preferred. Never hurts to ask heh :flowerforyou: Mine are 21 inches, but I was told by my dad the other day that i am much too stocky for shorter shorts, so it had me wondering

I wonder if you are focused on the wrong thing? Maybe you should just wear different shorts?

Oh trust me I didn't buy the shorter shorts after that comment! I have been going more for cargo shorts and longer ones. I will never pull off the short shorts because of my thighs I think

your dad just doesnt want guys oogling those thighs btw

Okay this may seem silly, but i cannot seem to get a consistent hip measurement! I tried looking at figures online, but I just cannot measure my own hips apparently :embarassed: I think 1 inch would make a big difference you are right :]

I checked out the thread referenced above and disagree based on MY THIGHS LOL. At 23.75", I fall into a normal range in that thread but my thighs, while muscular, are also coated in flabby fat. So, rather than concentrate on a measurement, concentrate on the look. Mine = not good LOL.

Oh trust me I am certainly going by looks more than anything! I am just a umber/goal person so it gives me something to strive for. So hearing where women are comfortable is interesting to me I guess :flowerforyou:

I'm a numbers person too so I totally understand! I was just surprised that in that other thread, my super jiggly non-toned thighs fell within what people were saying was normal LOL.

Measurements are only accurate if you measure in the EXACT same spot every time. I find it very difficult to do. My thigh is actually easiest because I place the tape measure on a certain part of my tattoo. Hips are much more difficult because you measure around the "widest" part, but as you lose weight, the widest part can and does change! So while you may be measuring the maximum circumference, you're not necessarily getting an accurate picture of inches lost. I've noticed that my widest hip area has moved farther down my body.

I just posted a thread about hip measurements last week! Haha, yeah, my widest part moved down a lot too. It is difficult to gauge.

IDK. Mine are 24in and I hate em. I'm trying to get somewhere around 20-21 in. I'm 5'5 and weigh 175lbs. I have been told that I look amazing the way I am (that I am well proportioned) but I want to drop AT LEAST another 20lbs.

Composition matters. What you want is to have shape (from your muscles) and have minimal jiggle. This number is different on every body.

My thighs are the least of my concerns! I am 5'4, 125 lbs and have 22" thighs at the largest part. I haven't been working out until recently, so there is room for improvement, but I am more concerned about my upper arms as they seem really big, and my tummy bulge! Men love sexy and shapely legs. Small just doesn't seem to fit in with shapely thighs! I don't want toothpicks for legs! ;-)

It has to be the right proportion for you. Me, i'm 5'7", 150 pounds, and my thighs are 24in at the biggest point. My hips are wide set and my thighs barely touch at this size. i think anything smaller than 23" would look odd on me.

Now I have visible and LARGE saddle bags LOL. I swear, I never had that before. It actually looks so out of proportion! Ah well...shrinking pains I guess LOL.

Well.... I'm 5'3 very large and my thighs are 30 each that's bigger than some people's waists but if I get them toned up I'm fine with having large thighs I think its more how they look then actual size. If your thighs look sexy and strong ain't nothing wrong with that.
