    I think it's more a case of losing quite a bit of subcutaneous fat on your legs to reveal your quads and create the illusion that you built muscle. Still, you look great!

    This was my guess too. I can totally see your quad on your right leg in the first picture. But good job! I'm totally jealous of women with leg definition. It's so hard for me to get any.

    Aww so it's not really muscle? Lol I was hoping it was but at least my quads look better! :)

    It definitely IS muscle, you just already had most of it. It was just hiding.

    *The only reason I'm pointing this out is a lot of people mistake revealing muscle by removing fat as "building muscle", and then there are those who do not want to build muscle so they get scared or whatever. Truthfully it's very hard to build muscle while on a calorie deficit. Maintaining muscle while losing fat, which is what you did, is great.

    Ohhh okay I understand now. I didn't know that I already had that muscle in the first place. I thought in order for me to have that muscle I needed to work for it. But wow I learned something new. Everyone has muscle but fat just covers it, am I right?
