tracimorris · March 2013

I am 5'5"
139 lbs
Thigh: 23.5"
Calf" 15.25
My last BF% was 27.7%, but that was 6lbs ago....

Glad to see I am not the only one that can't get her legs into some boots and jeans!

i have huge thighs and calves because the majority of my muscles are there. my thighs are about 20", calves i'm not sure but let's just say that i have trouble fitting into boots that do not have an elastic running down the boot. lifting and plyometrics have further built my quads/calves but i'm happy with them because they look strong.

Hi MFPals!

I'm trying to find the average thigh and calf sizes for women online and found nothing substantial to compare myself to. I am bottom heavy and my goal is to fit in regular rain boots but am unsure what the standard calf size is for women. I want a number to set my goals to! Here are my stats:

Calves: 14.25"
Thighs: 21"
Weight:117lbs
Height: 5'3"
Body fat: 24.5%

Stats from women of all shapes & sizes welcome! Thanks for helping a girl out!

Have a lot of work ahead of me.

I don't mind having proportionally larger legs, honestly. Just want to get my overall weight down. If my cellulite becomes less visible, bonus!

I don't know all my measurements but I know my thighs are around the mid-20s (:grumble: ) - bt my calves have always been big, legacy of dancing then riding. In fact, even when I was in my late teens I had to get "wider leg" riding boots (and I was a UK 10-12 at the time).

one of my friends suggested going to a shop for larger ladies because they tend to do larger leg boots! Or my mother-in-law favours shorter wellies. But that's her.....

I feel your pain - even when I reach my target weight I know I'm unlikely to fit into ALL long boots.:noway:

I always get picked on for how big my calves are compared to my height. lol

17-17.5 inch thighs
10.5 inch calves

I know the measurements themselves may seem small, but I'm a petite person so I feel like my thighs are HUGE! My calves are a decent size, I just wish I could slim down my thighs a bit. Even lifting and doing squats hasn't helped, if anything they've made them more muscular!
