    This made me curious. I'm 9 for ankles and 15 1/4 for calves. My lower legs are one thing I like right now on my body. I've still got about 40lb to lose so the other numbers aren't so hot.

    Before I look for the tape measure, I have to say, I love my legs. As anyone on my friend list for long enough knows, if I'm feeling down about anything I post a leg pic because it makes me smile.

    8.5inch
    15inch

    And I love them. Perfectly curvy and lovely. I could stare at them for hours.

    [last pregnancy they swelled up like balloons, so I may soon have very different measurements...]

    Ankles are the new thigh gap.

    I thought this was a joke thread. I really did.

    Ditto! It has never occurred to me to measure my ankles!!!

    No, they aren't.

    Don't fixate so much on specific body parts that you cannot change. My guess is that you're the only one even noticing.
    It's called spotlight effect.

    My ankles are 9.25" and my calves are 17.25"... but I like my lower legs.

    Ok so this just made me too curious. I think my ankles are pretty thin but I'm sure they look that way because my calves are big (played soccer from 5-16) and its genetic, my moms legs are pretty much the same.


    Ankle - 8 1/4

    Calf - 16 1/2

    Told you my calves were big! :laugh:

    Ankle - 11.25 inches
    Calves- 17.25 inches

    I don't like my ankles either :( But if they are near average, that is something at least! lol

    I'm 5foot 4inches and my ankles are 6 inches around and my calves are 9 inches around. You sound pretty normal!

    Little birdy ankles aren't all that great. I have to punch extra holes for the buckles in any shoes with ankle straps. :ohwell:
    exactly. or how about tiny ankles and huge calves? i can't sleek zip up boos because they do a weird dent thing at the ankle

    I had never measured my ankles before, I always thought I had pretty skinny/normal ankles, but I was super curious after reading your post:

    So I am 5ft 4in; 116 lbs:

    Rt ankle: 8 in
    Rt calf: 13.5 in

    Lt ankle: 8.5 in (my circulation is worse on that leg - as I found out during later pregnancies when only that ankle would swell with fluid retention)
    Lt calf: 13.5 in

    I think your ankles must be pretty normal!

    Good god. I have enough things to worry about without adding ankle size to the list.

    Ditto.

    Same here

    To the people thinking it was a joke.....

    Well, sometimes when we're growing up, people tear down our self-esteem about certain features. I have body dysmorphia about my calves (among other things) because when I was a child/teenager, my mom and sisters constantly called attention to them and the fact that they were big or were going to be big. And now I am still self-conscious of them.

    My mom also did things like predicting who had her bigger build and comparing them to the smaller girls. My whole family did, actually. I mean, when your own brother says you have a body type like Sasquatch, it's hard for your self-esteem not to take a hit.

    So, you have to realize that when taking into account why others are sensitive about certain features.
