    There is no "normal" or "good" size, it depends on several things. First of all, what one person thinks is preferable, will vary greatly from what another person thinks. We're all different in our views.

    Also, it will depend on how much is fat, bone, muscle as to how it looks. Mine are around 22-23" but I'm happy with how they are, prior to lifting and MFP they were around the same size but looked completely different (worse IMO) as they had more fat on them and weren't as solid/more flabby.

    ETA that much in the same way as weight. If you're shorter, a 23" thigh may look a lot bigger than on someone who is really tall.

    I guess I feel they are so big because they are way bigger than my boyfriends and I feel huge compared to him.

    Most women's thighs are bigger than men's naturally because 1) our pelvis is wider and therefore our femurs are at a wider distance than a man's and 2) we have estrogen receptors in that area that has many women pack on the pounds. Keep in mind you cannot spot reduce, you gotta lose fat in general to shed the fat off your thighs. My thighs were one of the things that slimmed up the most.

    stupid estrogen receptors causing thunder thighs....

    stupid testosterone causing brain melt...

    Big enough to fill up those jeans and make men think dirty thoughts.

    <~~~ I have larger thighs last measurement was 24 inches I think? My family calls them the "Johnson Family Curse" and I think my years of playing catcher in softball contributed to these tree trunks. No matter how much I lose they stay large and in charge :) I have a small waist... I am 5'9" waist is 29.5... I am just curvy and I have accepted my fate. I will never be a runway model and I am ok with that! I am healthy.

    LADY!!! I am 5'9" with a 29" waist and 25" thighs, too ... We are measurement twins :-)

    Edited to add that my thighs are like slabs of concrete and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I am 5'4" and weigh 202... mine are 22 also...

    And if you were not yet convinced that there is no normal. I'm am also 5'4" with 22 inch thighs (at the largest point) but I weigh 142 pounds. I don't think my thighs are fat, I think they are strong and I like them. :smile:

    22" is how big mine are. I'm 5'11, 34 years old and at goal at 150. I could afford to tighten up, but I'm happy with how everything looks...

    BTW, OP? At 6'4 and 135lbs you'll more than likely look like a slight wind could knock you over, no offense. At 160, you are at a really great weight. What makes you think 135 is the magic number? If you aren't wild about your body comp, I'd start lifting heavy - that's just my 2 cents...
    Ha! I'm 5'2" and mine is currently 22. There is a lot of muscle but also excess fat. Still, some consider my thighs quite lovely. ;)

    That makes a lot more sense. I couldn't understand calling 21" thighs a "curse" at 5'9".
