    Thighs:27 3/4"
    Calf: 16.5"
    My body fat calculators are all over the place- from 33% to 42%. I am obese.

    However, in the past month both my thighs and calves have shrunk! yay

    Which is not to say that real women have curves, so if you don't you're SOL. Just love what you've got.

    I currently weigh 12 stone 5 pounds, about 173lbs.
    My calves: 17 inches.
    Thighs : 27 inches.
    The women in my family tend to have bigger thighs and calves, even when slim so I think genetics play a part also.

    height: 5'1"
    weight: 130lb
    body fat percentage: 22% (using calipers, measured this morning)

    calf: currently 13.5" but before I took a month off due to medical reasons they were 14"
    thigh: 21.5" (was 21" before medical issues)

    I'm back to training again. I'd really like my calves to be bigger as they seem proportionately small compared to my quads and my frame size.

    Hi MFPals!

    I'm trying to find the average thigh and calf sizes for women online and found nothing substantial to compare myself to. I am bottom heavy and my goal is to fit in regular rain boots but am unsure what the standard calf size is for women. I want a number to set my goals to! Here are my stats:

    Calves: 14.25"
    Thighs: 21"
    Weight:117lbs
    Height: 5'3"
    Body fat: 24.5%

    Stats from women of all shapes & sizes welcome! Thanks for helping a girl out!

    huh. I'm the same height and weight as you :)
    my body fat is probably higher though.

    calves:12.8
    thigh at thickest part: 19.7

    5'1.5"
    125lb
    calves 15"
    thighs 22.5"
    bf% @ 23.5% (scale says 27%, calipers say 20%... guessing I'm in between those)

    I'll have linebacker legs for life, I'm afraid, because at this point they're more muscle than fat... I'm making peace with it--I finally found boots that will zip over those calves :-)

    My Thighs are 21" and calves are 14.5". So we are twins!

    Uh, not quite. I am 5'6" and 190 lbs!
    And I'm quite sure you don't have a 35 inch waist!
    Do I get the prize for most disproportionate?

    I Love my long (34" inseam)lean and muscled legs I inherited from my 6'3" father
    Not so thrilled with the short thick waist I inherited from my 5'2" mother

    Yes, we women come in all different shapes and sizes. and we are all beautiful!

    Runner here--never going to have skinny legs. But I'm happy to see a lot more muscle than I used to.

    I don't want to know! I've always had big thighs and calves my entire life! ANDDDD I'm only 4'10" which makes it worse :/

    Anyone have exercise suggestions for slimming down thighs (especially inner) and calves?? I desperately could use some advice! I already do squats, inner and outer thigh press machine, sometimes lunges...
