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

    Not sure about BF
    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!

    As of my last measurements, my thighs were 21 3/4", calves were 14 3/4". I'm 5'4" and 130lbs. I carry most of my weight in my thighs and bootie, and I've always had really muscular calves (but now especially). I've accepted I'll never had dainty little legs.

    ..ahh

    Weight: 170.0
    Height: 5'2"
    Thighs: 21"
    Calves: 14"

    Sadly, I carry my weight in the torso, all of the torso :/
    I always had pretty muscular legs from dance when I was younger, so I doubt those will ever get smaller, which in proportion to the rest of my body I hope they don't! But a few years ago I gained a lot of weight after some major surgeries, and I lost 56 pounds of what I gained. But I feel like I seriously only lost the weight on my limbs. LOL just my luck!

    5'5"
    125lbs
    Waist 27"
    Thigh 20" at widest
    Calf 13.5" at widest

    I consider myself an apple shape, I don't carry my weight in my legs at all. Everyone comments on my legs, they certainly aren't big at all. Quite the opposite. They also have next to no fat on them, they are rock solid all the way down.
    This sounds very similar to me. People often comment on how skinny my legs are (20" and 12.5"), but it sounds like my measurements are really pretty average. Maybe they look skinny because I am an apple on stilts!!!

    Actually, at a normal healthy weight like right now (I'm 121), I consider myself an hourglass on stilts, but when I gain weight I'm an apple on stilts. The legs stay the same either way.
