    You can't spot reduce fat. Your muscles are probably retaining water and the fat over them makes them look bulky. If you reduce your overall body fat eating at a moderate deficit you will slim them down.

    This.

    Muscle burns calories like crazy. They really aid in your over-all weight loss program. I'd wait to worry about them until you get where you're going. Chances are, as you moderate your burn, they'll behave.

    ...are you sure its not just swelling under fat making your legs seem bigger? Because, tbh, if you've gained muscle in 3 weeks at a deficit while I've been strength training for months and have yet to gain any muscle (retained: hopefully. Gained? No) I'm gonna be honest and say I'm jealous.

    How did your thighs get "muscely"?

    Two weeks of cardio, and 3 weeks of lifting?

    You must tell me your secrets. I've been lifting and running for a year and a half and still feel like I have chicken legs. :sad:

    They may just be big from water/glycogen. Mine did that and very quickly got as big as the muscles had ever been (and I was sporty, too, growing up). But it only lasted like that a few weeks. Now it's very hard to get them back to it. They are much better than before lifting but not like they were after just a few weeks of it.

    I used to think I gained muscle at the drop of a hat :D Apparently I just swell easily ;)

    Edit: My profile pics show my thighs while lifting, btw.

    Every woman is made differently. Some women naturally have slimmer thighs, hips, arms, etc and some women don't. Love you for you and appreciate what you have because it really is true the grass is always greener. I would kill for curly instead of straight hair, blue eyes instead of brown and the cute freckles a ginger is supposed to have :grumble: but it ain't gonna happen any time soon.:ohwell:

    To attempt to address the actual question the OP presented just work on decreasing your over all body fat and lifting with more reps and less weight and maybe you can slim down your body OVER ALL because it's true you can not spot reduce.

    That must be it! Forget barbells ladies; brb ordering a mini tramp of Amazon. All the muscles and cellulite reduction will be mine. I'm sure I'll be back in a few weeks with truly amazing results.


    Also the stair stepper and womanly lunges.
