    I would imagine the only way to slim down calves of pure muscle would be to not walk for a number of months and\or eat a dangerously low amount of food. I guess you could try walking without them flexing i.e. with your toes pulled upwards throughout the entire motion...

    My calves are about 14.5 inches circumference, and I attribute it to riding my bike everywhere when I was younger. I don't feel like they are out of place at all or disproportionate... I always get comments on how great they look in heels, and I like that! My advice would be learn to embrace the awesome and sexy-ness of having well defined calf muscles! You go, girl!

    I had 17.5 and lost about an inch on each one. So mine got more defined for sure.

    First of all, your calves will not and do not look like man calves:) Secondly, there are many ladies that would kill for those kind of legs and most guys including myself love to see ladies with those kind of calves in heels.

    I have my fathers calves and my mother's thighs so my legs are big all around. I have to buy wide calf boots even after 60lbs! If I wanted them too, they could be large and muscular. right now, they aren't. I want them to lean out, which seems to happen when I get into running... I've gotten used to them but want them to be more defined.

    "Man" calves? I think you misspelled "sexy."

    Wow, I thought I had big calves - mine are babies compared to yours.

    I'm hoping to lose mine once I start losing more weight because I absolutely HATE my calves.

    It will even itself out, your calves are the first things that are responding to the changes you're making. Be proud of them! They show your hard work. The other consideration is to change the type of workout I do, when I lift I notice the look of "bulk" more, but when I run I notice they get leaner looking.

    OT, Don't eat my face because I said the word bulk.

    I have this problem too. I've always had big legs, but since I started the weight loss, my legs have gotten really manly (or sexy as corrected by Kaleidy-Ly) looking. Not complaining at all though.

    Just earlier today, I had this guy randomly ask me in the gym if I had been an athlete in high school or had run track. A customer of mines asked if I were training to become a cheerleader due to my legs (Do cheerleaders have big legs???)

    Mine are huge. I have no idea what they will look like once I reach my goal. The only time I lost a lot of weight in the past, I noticed my calves were gigantic. I hope once I get way down to my goal that they won't look so weird. Big is okay, I just hope they don't look freakish.

    Edit: this thread just prompted me to measure mine. Now, I'm still a big girl but I don't feel much fat in my legs. I'm sure I'll lose a little but jeeeeez my calves are 20in. :noway:

    I have huge calves too. I hate them because it makes it really hard to shop for jeans
