I'm blessed with naturally large thighs...if that's how you're calling it. I was 220# not long ago...my thighs were *really* large then. Amazing how when you take off some body fat they just kinda start to slim out. Slowly...slowly.
I'm the proud owner of 23" thighs right now...just this week I squatted 175-185#...and some random guy at the gym told my husband he was gonna hit on me (he didn't know I was married) and started to describe how "nice" he thought my legs were (in great detail). Total NSV, for sure. At any rate - I don't do cardio. I keep my legs nice and eh hem, "big" by squatting, deadlifting, doing weighted lunges...you know...all that weight lifting crap. And if they get bigger - so be it...but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to get much bigger, it's just a matter of fat coming off before I can have Erin Stern's or Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet's awesome legs.0 -

I remember it as if it were only yesterday... I was in Heaven waiting in the Thigh Gap line, which was as long as the line for the ladies room on nickel beer night and I really just wanted to get the being born part over already so I said, "Screw it, I'm moving over to Thicker Thighs and Big Booty... it was a ghost town over there and God was like, "Here you go. You'll thank me later." He was so right, that God! I call his name sometimes when I'm busy enjoying them.
LOL Right!!!0 -
Yep god definitely gave me these thighs and I've never done a squat in my life...0
-
ahhhh I LOVE THIS!0

You do what you need to do.
I'm gonna stick with squatting and deadlifting my way to perfection.
Big thighs and all.
All women should have this mentality.0 -
mesomorph. I thought this post was about an X-men.0

I found out the key for myself to get the nice muscular lean legs that I've always wanted. I am a mesomorph and I develop leg muscles very quickly, but my upper body is very weak.
I learned to do absolutely no leg exercises and now my legs look awesome. My legs always looked fat to me. I tried the lunges, squats, etc. and my legs would just look fatter. A personal trainer told me to stop and just get my leg workouts from jogging, elliptical, etc. I did it and now my thighs are 20 inches and I can fit into my jeans. I love it!

I have nice hard looking legs also. I look great in a bikini. It worked for me and I'm so happy that I stopped squatting and dead lifting.
I'm 41 too. I think people are just jealous.
Why would anyone be jealous? - you are a blue person.
Oh, and I am 45 - so?
41, and not jealous0 -

oh, you!0 -
thanks for your posting. Makes sense, and I will consider your advice when exercising.0

hmmm. I think normally i'd jump in and say that weighlifting don't make you bulky. But i have noticed my flat bum is now deliciously round thanks to squats and DL's.
I still think i'd rather have muscular legs with no body fat than have skinny-fat legs.
But that's just me.
I don't have skinny legs. They are gorgeous and muscular. 20 inch thighs...sexy...
Well..why not show us. Put up some picts of those legs....AFTER you take a break and learn not to take things so personally and start calling those with opposing views names...okay...good
hey, when people are rude to me, I will defend myself as I respect myself ok?
I gave you my stats. I don't want to post pics of myself on the internet for privacy reasons.
34B - 26 - 36
20 inch thighs
5'8"
mesomorph build with a bit of ecto.
You can picture it.
Why do you keep saying you are a meso? From a frame' perspective - you are ecto based on those stats.0 -
The OP isn't saying to lie in bed, bind your legs and let them atrophy. She's still giving them a workout. People on this thread are pretty judgmental. Everyone has their own ideal of beauty, and her wanting slimmer thighs isn't wrong.
totally...women are jealous catty itches here! I reached my fitness goals and I look dang good! I'm 41, and would be proud to wear a bikini on the beach...no flabby bits.
Okay, this is where I get serious and tell you to take a break from the internet. When you start resorting to name calling - you need to press the red x at the top right.

Lifting = swelling = not fat = know wtf your body does0

You were 220 lbs? WOW you look great! Are you following a specific weight lifting program like Jamie Eason's Live Fit or you just doing your own thing? I'd love to squat what you are squating. I hate not having a lifting partner at the gym when I want to go up in weight but not sure if I need a spot.
Oh and that's a great NSV. What was your husbands reaction to that guy telling him how great you looked?0 -
thanks for your posting. Makes sense, and I will consider your advice when exercising.
Hopefully not the OP's advice as it is terrible advice.0 -
I would rather have muscular thighs than skinny thighs.
me too... I have beautiful muscular thighs0 -
God didn't give me anything, LOL. My genes did.0

you look fantastic...honestly. I'm not against women having different fitness goals.0 -

Nah..I'll just ogle Saurak's picts. This is a woman that knows her stuff and backs it up every time - not just with pictures - but with other proof as well.
Plus, if someone disagrees, she doesn't start calling them names..she's mature-ish like that
Funny, I haven't seen a lot of maturity on this thread from others.0 -

Nope...my dominant is meso. I have a body frame very similar (in appearance) to Jennifer Aniston. I am not as hot as her though0 -

I'd like to know what your legs were before you stopped working them out. Because mine are 21 and I don't think mine are big at all. And I'm 5'1'' I LOVE my big thighs/@ss, and so do a LOT of other people0
