    How about 30 inch thighs... try living with that! You girls talking about 21-22 inch thighs being too big you need to love and embrace those skinny thighs!


    BTW add 5'0 HEIGHT to that

    I always thought I had huge(muscular) calves!! Guess they're not so big after all. :) I wonder why boots are always so tight...

    5' 3"
    128lbs
    Thighs: 21 1/2"
    Calf: 14 1/4"

    It's really interesting to see everyone's measurements along with their weight and photos. It really shows how little lbs matter.

    Well, this post has made me realize again how much I hate my calves. I know there is a lot of definition and toning work that needs to be done, but I have come to the conclusion that I would resort to surgery if I can't get my calves smaller. I've only been regularly working out for about a month but have reduced calories and really watched that intake for several months. Even with overall weight loss, I feel like not an ounce of fat is coming off of these calves. I'm training for a half marathon right now (WTH was I thinking), so lots of running in my future. Maybe I will check back in a month to see if there is any progress. Hubby keeps saying "Give it time", but it's very depressing. One day I will get over this and wear something besides pants, but for now, I still cry.

    163 lbs
    Thighs 24.5
    Calves 15.5

    Always had a weird body type. Skinny legs but from the side my quads look big but from the front they're kind of scrawny. Very narrow hips but born with a bootay. Anyone else have some weird shape like this? I also have skinny arms that will not tone. Anyone have tips?!

    Yea not thick thighs at all. .. Especially considering your height, very slim. I have the same size thighs at the widest part and have always been told I have quite lean legs and I'm 5'5. Cray.

    I've been trying to lose weight since May last year and as part of that I've also been tracking my measurements. Anyway - this it what I had (Height 5 foot 6")

    May 2012 (weight 233 lb). calf 17.75 inches; thighs 26.5 inches
    September 2013 (weight 189 lb). calf 15 3/4 inches; thighs 24 inches

    That said, I've always had heavy calves - I weighed around 135 lb for many years and I could still never buy knee high boots that would fit. I have a fabulous pair of pink Hunter wellies at the moment with a buckled gusset :laugh: they are fab

    I'm trying to lose some weight by doing mostly cardio - running, but lately I realized that instead of losing the unwanted weight, my calves has grown much bigger then before.. my jeans feels tight around the calves area. Starting to feel less feminine :( any suggestions? I really love running but I don't want to bulk my calves...

    Height: 5'8"
    Weight: 130 lbs
    Calves: 14.3" (is it big?)

    calf 14"
    thigh 21"

    My exercise is walking , yoga and Barre3, some zumba. I have really long legs, (32.5" inseam)... and I wear flats most days at work. I might wear a 1 to 2" heel like 3 to 4 times a year for special occasions.

    I am told pure pilates is the best thing to get long lean muscles, but I enjoy what I do now.

    I have always hated my thighs, thought they were huge (especially the way they spread out when I sit.) But actually this thread has made me feel a lot better about them! :)

    Would also love advice on how to slim calves! So many lovely boots out there in the world and I am limited to ankle boots without feeling stupid.
