    I like my thighs, apart from the very tops. Never gonna have small legs having started dancing age 5!

    I have always hated my thighs, even when I was skinny. Before last year, I couldn't remember the last time I wore a bathing suit without shorts over it (I posted about this in a blog and put up a pic of me in high school, tiny, at the beach in shorts) my husband was the only person who ever saw me in just a bathing suit at our pool.
    In 2011 just after joining MFP, I decided to compete in a figure competition. Nothing like going from never wearing a bathing suit to getting up in front of hundreds of strangers in something that covers less than a bathing suit and being judged. (There is a before and after pic in my photos)
    I'm still self conscious about them, but working on it and getting much better. I spent my entire honeymoon in a bathing suit. I'm still shy around those I know.
    I don't have any good ones from my competition on my phone but there are some on my before and after photo.

    As for my calves - I was so excited to spot my calf muscle in a wedding pic. I love them

    I will admit that I have hated my thighs for years. But going through this thread has really changed my opinion towards them and in a positive way. My confidence is slowly building! Thank you!
    I am 5'6" with 21 inch thighs (I have NO idea whether that is good, bad, or somewhere in between.... :P)
    We definitely need more threads like this!! XD

    I love my thighs! To be honest, my legs are my absolute favorite part on my body. I used to hate wearing shorts or skirts. I would wear jeans in 100 degree weather. Now, I wear shorts almost every day of the year... Thank goodness I live in a pretty warm climate, most of the time anyway. I went from owning millions of pairs of jeans to owning millions of shorts. lol. If I was a man, I'd be a leg man. haha! I'll have to remember to get a pic..

    I'm getting there! I have my bad days when I'm disgusted with them, but other times I'm pretty pleased with myself. I'm naturally a pear shape, so my booty and thighs are where any little bit of fat goes. Even when I was at my lowest weight (too low) I still had a big lower half. My husband's grandfather actually told me, "Don't lose any more weight. You'll still have the problem on the bottom." Yeah. Thanks. Stuff like that doesn't help!

    They're 22" at the top, btw. After reading through this thread I recognize that it's not really big. But it bugs me because: 1) I'm pretty small on top (34 A and very slender); and 2) I have this bulge right at the top of my inner thighs that really stands out and makes me just look (or at least feel) flabby. My lower body looks like it belongs on a thicker upper body. I'm doing lots of upper body weight lifting in the hopes that I can balance it out a bit.

    I've been maintaining my weight loss for two years this week (YAY) and only in the last six months have I figured out the importance of strength training (DUH). I amazed at how quickly my legs have gotten stronger! I've gotten stronger all over, but my legs in particular have impressed me. They have gotten seriously hard (a girlfriend gave my leg a friendly squeeze at dinner a couple of months ago, then stopped and looked at me and said "dang, girl!!") and though they are still bigger than what I'd like them to be, I am proud of them anyway!

    A few weeks ago I had a revelation... I saw myself in the mirror in a short skirt and I realized that my legs looked HOT. I realized that if I saw them on another woman I would admire them and probably be jealous. But they're mine! And they're getting better every day. I just wish I could think like that ALL the time. They may always be bigger than I'd like, but I hope to someday be 100% comfortable with that.

    I'll have to get a pic up here to share with all the other lovely ladies that inspire me =)

    Oh Yoovs....so do I. I was really unhappy with myself for pretty much bingeing over the holidays (okay, like ALL of December) and I put on a solid eight pounds in two months. And I can see the bit o' extra fatty fat clinging to my thighs. But rather than get all down and out about it...I said "self, you are a mfkn bada$$ - stop your pity party and do something about it!"....and well, I took a picture. Channeling some Lara Croft here...okay, not really....but yeah. I still love my thighs - they helped me squat 175-185# this week! BOOOM So I'll get over the excess weight - even if I did gain .5" on them recently. ;)

    I don't "love" the way my thighs look yet, but I WANT big, beautiful, strong ladies. As women we are supposed to have a lot of leg strength. I will post a photo of my thighs that I love because they are part of me, and if I don't love me, who will? THANK YOU for posting this!!!!
