How do I make my naturally muscular thighs smaller?

some more helpful info to supply so people could really help you would be

1) how many calories are you eating a day?
2) how often do you work out? what kinds of workouts?

Everyone's body is different and will lose fat deposit in different places. My stomach is the last to go, so I envy you on that. You can start doing lunges to build a nice toned muscle there, but you will have to sacrifice size for now. I swear by lunges. They work the largest muscle on your body and they make your legs look great. Mine look bulky in my picture, but that;s okay because I still have 30lbs of fat to loose. Once I do that, I will end up with a lean, fat burning machine. My jeans are tighter, but it's a sacrifice for now. be patient, and play around with your calorie intake and the intensity of your workouts. You want to breathe and sweat hard! It's the only way.

Oh dear. I am not scolding you but, as a young and developing track athlete, you need not be following a semi-starvation diet - especially for something silly as wanting to fit into smaller jeans. There are clothing lines made specifically for athletic, shapely women. Look into those.

Another thing - weighing less will lead to faster times initially. However, your body will eventually break down due to lack of nutrition and your performance and health will suffer. Track ranks in the top three sports for eating disorders. Please snap out of it before you seriously harm yourself. Semi-starvation diets among developing adolescents can lead to irreversible damage such as stunting peak bone mass density which may not be recoverable even with hormone therapy or calcium supplementation.

For the most part I havent been eating enough. Somewhere between 500-800 calories) please, pleade dont scold me. I am working very hard and FIGHTING to be healthy. I work out 5 days a week for about 3 hours each day (Mon-Fri) I mostly run and llift weights for gym and do lots of other strength training type things. Also, before you say I work out too much Its because Im in track and have a gym class!

Eat.

thats how you FIGHT to be healthy.

This. Please treat your body with kindness and respect.

Send some my way!!! LOL, I would give anything to have thick muscular thighs.... but my genes dictate thin thighs no matter how much leg work I do. Your body is your body.... love it the way it is!!!!! Now, as far as your calories, no scolding, but very concerned... why are you doing this???? You have to know that it is not healthy in the long run.... Healthy is not eating so little you will hurt yourself.... it is making good choices to fuel the body.... please work on this. And anyone who tells you it's okay to workout 3 hours a day and eat that little needs to ...... well, I won't say what I want to... but you get the pic!

I know this is discussing about thighs but I was wondering the same about my calves. My lower body is shaped awkwardly: my legs are short, my hips are big, my thighs are big, my calves ARE HUGE (muscle), but I have chicken legs. I suppose I shouldn't complain about having muscular legs but being proportionate would be nice.

Some people just have naturally muscular thighs.. can't think of any way to really reduce them if they are indeed muscular. Definitely agree about not starving yourself especially if you workout 3 hrs a day.. I only work out for 45-75 minutes a day and I have to net atleast 1700..

Working out that much you should be eating WAAAAAAAAY more than you are. That's not scolding, that's genuine concern for your health. Your body needs food to survive and you're starving it.

Your relationship with food and your body doesn't sound healthy. Is there someone you can talk to? A parent, counselor, older sibling, even a doctor? You need to eat to be healthy. 1500 - 1800 calories a day, maybe more.

Big muscular thighs are healthy, sexy and beautiful. You need to stop trying to force your body to be something it's not. You sound like you are built like I am. I spent a good portion of my life hating my thighs and only the last few years liking them. A LOT of women are shaped like us. It's natural and healthy.

Muscular thighs are beautiful, feminine and strong at the same time.

This. Learn to love 'em. Skinny jeans are so overrated.

It is a bit unhealthy, but I am talking to someone about it to keep me in check! Honestly though, 1500 calories sounds scary. I can do 1000 and be a little uncomfortable. But anything over that doesnt make me feel very good (I kid you not, I actually feel sick). I honestly dont see it a "sexy", on me anyways. I just feel gross. What helped you get over those feelings and begin to love your thighs?

I under ate for months, and it caused me to actually gain more weight instead of lose it. Binging on occasion caused me to lose. It was weird. I found MFP, and started at 1200 which was a lot for me. I stalled. Increased to 1500 and it worked.

Don't make the 1500 empty calories. Make them good food.

That is my goal for this week... to get up to 800 calories and stay there for a week and then the next week jump to 900 eating mostly fruits, veggies, greens, ect with a VERYsmall abount of carbs and possibly nuts for protien
Oh and LOTs of peanut putter Does that sound like a good plan? And then stay at 900 for 4 days and them keep it at that for a little while

Go to Apps -> BMR, plug in your numbers and eat that much (see my last post above)
