    the only thing different about bulking and cutting is the way you eat. I train the exact same when im losing or when im gaining, it's all about diet. Most likey in your case, your probably just getting a pump where blood flows into your muscle which 100% will go away.

    Just as an example of why a picture makes a difference. I've always thought I had heavy thighs and fat knees. When I look down at them I see bulky. Other people tell me I have twiggy legs and I actually have the thigh gap coveted by teen girls. Most of us see ourselves much differently than what we really are. Getting an unbiased opinion can sometimes be a mental help.

    exercise doesn't 'burn' fat. that's a myth. Fat is either stored or consumed regardless of your caloric output based on the insulin in circulation in your blood. insulin is stimulated by carbohydrates. that's why all diets that are designed to lose fat, focus on carbohydrate restriction. reduce carbs, reduce insulin, reduce the 'storage' of fat and encourage its consumption by the body so called 'ketosis'. Muscles will burn glycogen, fat or proteins depending on what's available. If insulin is circulating to excess, the fats are being 'stored' that's the chemistry of it and they are not available. having excess fat is caused by shutting down the natural system that makes fat available as an energy source for the body.

    the exercise will build muscle either way. so if you're consuming excess carbs and exercising heavily you build both fat and muscle and get bulky but not 'cut'.

    read Good Calories Bad Calories to get the science down and consider http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ as a vehicle for designing your diet around your body composition goals.

    It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to actually gain muscle bulk while in a calorie deficit. If you are adding size you are eating at a surplus. Regardless of what you think, unless you have hormone problems, you do not "bulk up" easily. No woman does. Many think they do but if they actually took measurements instead of going by appearance they would see they aren't. The point is, until you actually reach your goal your appearance will be a bit lopsided in some ways because the different parts of the body do not lose fat at the same rate. That is a fact you just have to accept.

    Prove anything. Ridiculous. I asked a question. An honest simple question. Period. I do not want big muscular thighs. I am not here to judge any body for their choice in what they ultimately want to look like. If I were 100% fine with my aesthetic I wouldn't be here asking for suggestions. Key word, suggestions, not judgement, not what do you think of my question. Honestly. Good grief!

    You will not get bigger, more muscular thighs unless you are eating at a surplus and lifting progressively heavy weights.

    I probably won't ever post pics of myself on MFP. Especially after the rude responses I've encountered. Why would I subject myself to more judgement and ridicule from people that so not know anything about me except for a "username" and a question. U would never put pics of myself up anywhere public because I'm not okay with sharing that. I don't have tob

    Why not? I :heart: women with huge muscles. Lets see! I mean come on, from all those lunges and squats from your DVDs you have to be close to competing in the Miss Universe contest right?

    I agree with this. Might be a good time to examine how much you are eating. The results I get whether it be bulky or lean depends on the amount of food I eat --even when I stick to one exercise regimin (P90X)
