My goal is to gain 15 lbs of muscle because I feel I'm too thin for my height. 6'2" 125 lbs. My legs are really small 12" calves and 17.5" thighs. To me that seems small but I would like to hear what others are.

    Be glad your calves are small at least you don't through what I do to get a pair of boots...My calves are 17 inches, have had large legs as long as I can remember...

    I'm not sure of my measurements, but I do know that I can never buy cute boots :sad:

    Stupid calves don't fit in them.

    My calves are also too big for most boots. I've never measured them. I don't need to. They've been big for as long as I can remember.

    I get depressed when I see adorable boots on sale...cause 9 out of 10 times I can't zip'em up!

    The circumference of my calves is 16" and 3/4. In other words, too big for boots.

    17.5 inches. So the same size as your thighs, but my trainer tells me theres a lot of muscle hiding under my fat.....

    My calves are about 17 inches, but I have big feet too. Footsmart.com has boots for larger calved women. I have always had big legs.

    13.5 inches, and they look huge to me from the side. My thighs are 19 inches.
    You do seem to be rather underweight for someone so tall, I am 5'10 and look pretty emaciated when I am 125/126 Ibs.
    But then, that is not my natural weight, and I am assuming you are just built this way naturally.

    Mine are pretty darn big compared to the rest of my legs, but for all those who say "too big for boots" - they have a lot more boots now than they used to. I've seen some that say 18" or 19" . And some are even cute :)

    Check zappos and search for wide calf boot. Just be sure to measure up where the boot goes to check circumference.

    here's another place with a lot of wide calf boots.

    I've never been the biggest fan of my calves, but now that my goal is weight loss/muscle gain, I'm pretty darn happy I'm inclined to muscular calves!

    I once had an older man (it...was actually a bit creepy) tell me to keep on swimming because of my gorgeous legs. I didn't bother to tell him I could probably drown in 2 ft of water.
