    I love my thighs, hips and curves and so does my Hubbie. He has told me to get fit not thin, real men love curves!!!!

    Aww, that sounds like my hubs. :)<3 I love when men love their women and want them to be healthy but real.

    On topic: You are all awesome! I still don't like my thighs but am getting more comfortable with them the more I work on them. My goal is to rock a pair of shorts in public ! :glasses:

    *edited after I read this post:
    I love my thighs even though the are bigger than usual as I'm still quite far from my goal weight. The things I love about them are that they have served as a nice comfy cushy place to bounce my baby and set him on while nursing him, teaching him to feed himself, and hold him against when he ever became frightened of new situations as a toddler.


    :heart: Thank you for the reminder. I have one for each of my girls to sit on...and they got me through my one hour elliptical session this past weekend (may not sound like a lot to some but was a HUGE DEAL for me!) :heart:

    I don't completely love my thighs (yet), but I don't hate them anymore. =)

    Awesome job, ladies! Love seeing this thread periodically. So much good energy in here - need that sometimes!

    I've always hated my thighs, but they're a work in progress, and I can't wait to feel comfortable enough to post them here. :D That said, you ladies have some INCREDIBLE thighs! I can't wait to join the club!

    I didn't used to appreciate my pear shape nearly enough until I came to MFP. I didn't hate it but I also didn't own it. I came to realize that this hip dip and the area I call saddlebags are actually gorgeous curves that were waiting for the right attitude to come along and embrace them. Having a newer appreciation for them, I find clothes that dress them up instead of drowning them out.

    I admit, I was looking for a specific shape, particularly combined with a specific bottom but in the end, I was missing something important--my own beautiful shape.

    We women do need to learn to embrace what we have and the shape we are given, regardless of what that is. Look around, there is no one specific shape but there are many beautiful women.

    I have no problem "working on my body" but now it is more about learning what my body can do. I look at my pictures and even 10-15lbs ago, I had a more beautiful body than I recognized at that time. The goal has shifted to be more about fitness and achieving a healthy range.

    I tell people I'm experimenting. That's exactly what I feel like right now. I'm okay at any weight in the normal range. II'm looking at what different body percentages look like on me. That's another part of my "experiment" but in the end, quite honestly, it is ALL good. I love that for a solid year now, I have accepted exercised and done a variety of new things from Zumba to kayaking to weight lifting. I almost want to start a thread about all the new things and foods I've tried in the past year. We need to celebrate who we are and learn to love the lessons and experiences we gain along the way.

    Yay I <3 this thread. I was feeling down about my thighs because I was told they were too big, but now I feel quite proud. It took a lot of work to get mine the way they are.

    I took this picture during a rest period while doing heavy squats today. Normally I'd be a little let down by how large my thighs appear. But eff it. Made it my profile picture.

    Your uppers look like mine. I think they are gorgeous. So that's right, eff it, embrace 'em, you're beautiful.

    And so are the other thighs I'm seeing in this thread. Dayummmm women - I never thought I'd appreciate this body part as much as I do now. Maybe it's a maturity thing...hahah! First we appreciate a nice rack, then abs, then *kitten*, now thighs....what's next? ;) Keep the positive self-image going on here - I'm loving it!

    Your posts made me smile! I made peace with my thighs years ago. All of the women in our family have muscular thighs and it makes finding jeans a nightmare lol -- when they fit the thighs then the waist is huge! Any tips?

    This is true. All jeans become more like skinny jeans when you have big thighs. Find a brand that fits you well and stick with it. For me - Lucky brand Lola bootcut in super stretch. Any jeans with some stretch actually will be helpful as they'll fit better around the thighs. I know some people who prefer American Eagle (one friend, in particular, with muscular thighs loves the Artist style, but it's too flare for me and if I recall, too low-rise (I have a long torso)).

    I like my thighs even if they are funnily curved and soft :P they are also quite strong and beautiful no matter what :)

    Wow, this thread has really made me smile! I used to hate my thighs but now I'm seeing them in a new light ;)

    This was before I started exercising - hopefully they'll get stronger and better looking!

    My thighs are also 23 in. I hated them for a long time, but I am starting to accept them a little more, as soon as I realized that they weren't fat, just muscular ha

    This thread is literally the best. Struggling to come to terms with my thighs, but hoping I can get to where you all are someday. (:

    <-- Not yet in love, but working on them. Down about 2" so far, want to loose about 2-3" more, ending around 25" is my goal.

    I would like to dispel a myth that women with large thighs cannot wear skinny jeans.

    24" thighs in skinny jeans, and I probably could go down a size.
