Wearing things I'd never would of worn!

Let me just start by saying, I use to weight around 170 if not 180 pounds when I was 21 years old. It's been a slow journey, but this year I was really determined to not quit and it's got me to 134 pounds. I haven't lost much weight these past 3 months and been trying wanting so badly for my legs to slim down.. but I'm finally trying to embrace them and be proud of how far I've came. I have lost maybe a pound in the last 3 months and my measurements have not changed too much at all, but I've noticed I'm stronger and I look better.... Thanks to strength training! It's still a bit scary to wear this out in public, still a bit insecure with my legs, but I wore it and I made it through the day just fine! :)

    I assume because so many people notice my legs and I wasn't really too fond of them ... comments weren't exactly negative, but I didn't like my legs to be noticed because they were larger. I've still got larger legs than my fiance! :P But it's all good, I'm finally accepting them a little more each day. Thank you so much!

    It's the calves. I didn't realize that pointing out that I'm insecure about my legs people would think that I'm a bit crazy for thinking that! :happy: I didn't exactly workout to get those calves, I use to always be the girl with the big calves back in high school. Coaches would want me on teams because of my legs alone assuming I was strong. I didn't like that. haha. I felt it was masculine, that I was masculine... but now I'm finally seeing I can be a girl, wear girly clothes, and have these legs. :)

    Do you know what I would do for calves like that?!?!? They are amazing and you need to embrace them (and hug your mama!) You look great, congratulations on the hard work.

    I'm going to be really honest and I hope I don't sound rude. If your calves were smaller you would look ridiculous! Your legs are perfect! You don't want little toothpick legs.

    it's funny that you want your legs slimmer -- where you have them now is what i wish mine were like. my thighs look so wide from the front. >:/ what exercises do you do?

    If I had your legs, I would be showing them off all the time! Lol. On a serious note, though, I think you look simply fantastic! Good job!

    Girl, I would LOVE to have your legs!!! My thighs have always been bulky and somewhat flabby, except when i was a little girl! Let those legs loose and show 'em off! Really pretty!! :) Congrats, too, on how far you have come! You have worked hard and totally earned it! I also want to say that I absolutely LOVE your white shirt in your before pic! So stylish! :P

    You are stunning!!! Way to go, you should be extremely proud!

    I get it about the legs thing (although frankly, you're crazy :noway: ) - they say even supermodels have things they're self-conscious about...

    Thank you everyone! Wearing any shoe with a heel emphasizes the legs and I've got muscles on my thighs as well that doesn't show here.... I guess that's what made it different and the reason it was a bit scary, because I don't wear heels that often, and when I did in the past, it was always only with jeans.

    What did I do? Well my mother says I got these legs because I jumped on the trampoline non-stop as a young child. I loved the trampoline! :) Now, I just do incline once in a while on the treadmill. I gave up squats and lunges, not wanting my legs to bulk up, but this month, I let fear go and started to incorporate them again into my strength training with weight.

    Thanks everyone again, y'all re too kind. :)
