    My mom used to call me Thunder Thighs when I hit puberty. I have accepted the fact that I will never have small hips, butt or thighs. Measuring them tells me that they are larger than average and I'm ok with that. I really want them to be less flabby and more muscular and I'm working on it.

    OP your thighs don't look like Thunder Thighs to me at all.

    30 inches...smh. I've always had huge thighs...even as a kid. And no matter how much weight I loss and muscle I gain, they are always huge.

    I haven't measured mine, but I will say that this phrase ("thunder thighs") is the only thing that stuck with me as a negative comment about my body from middle school. I subsequently learned to hate my legs. Now I've learned how wrong that was, as my legs are one of my sexiest body parts. I love my strong legs, and I don't love the obsession with smallness. Do I want to tone them more? Yes. Am I working towards that? Yes. But it's not about large/small. It's about strength and shape - for me at least. :)

    Reporting in at 25.4"! My thighs have always been big since I can remember ~ My dad used to call me Meag-a-saurus Rex (My name is Meagen) on account of my T-Rex Thighs.

    I've learned to love them & my butt. They go together nicely on a pear shape! ^____^

    Learn to embrace the yummyness!

    I never got the "thunder thighs" comment, but lots of guys apparently liked my big hips, thighs, and butt...From middle school (not attractive) to high school, I was all of a sudden attractive, as in: "Hey, girl! You got fries with that shake?" EVERY DAY at lunch. So, yeah, those were 14 year olds then...so weird to think NOW that a 14 year could say anything like that. I guess, I forgot what teenage boys were like? They seem so sweet now. ha!

    Thighs, butt, and hamstrings are where your body's ability to generate explosive bursts of power (jumping, sprinting, etc) comes from. When they don't LOOK like they're capable of generating that kind of power, it doesn't quite look right IMO.

    Well, just like anything else, feeling like a certain measurement is "big" is relative to height. 21" thighs on someone 5' tall is way different than 21" on someone 5'7". You can't even compare.

    My thighs are about 19.5" in this picture. I'm 5'5" and wear a size 4/6.

    ETA: Couldn't figure out the photo thing. And to add I don't think 21" are big thighs. Just wrote that to point out height makes a difference.

    I'm 5'3" and my "thunder thighs" are currently 22.5. I had them down to 21.5 when I was losing weight before. Then I got pregnant again and my thighs ballooned back out to about 23". I've always had bigger thighs, even when I was 100 lbs in high school. I have a fantastic butt thanks to the Original Buns of Steel though!

    Ah, perhaps this is true, because I'm 5'8 with 21 inch thighs and wear a 4/6 and when I first read the OP's post I was like......whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat are you talking about thunder thighs!

    My right thigh is 23" and my left is 21". Hmmm maybe I'll try the successful spot reduction method to make them even.

    In all actuality, your thighs don't appear to be Thunder Thighs, imo, OP.

    5'2'', with 23" thighs. I guess that's on the larger side? I like my legs, actually, but do wish they wouldn't rub together. Makes for some uncomfortable summers, haha.

    I have lost 4.5 inches off my thighs but still feel like they are massive..

    Ladies, what is your thigh measurement if you don't mind sharing?

    Im currently sitting at approximately 21 inches

    Hello! I'm wondering how long it took to lose that much and what you did :O!!! Well done! :)

    I am currently about 22 inches and want to lose 4 inches - at 5'2, 22 inches does not look right :(.
