Thigh Measurements

In the recent weight I've lost, I have successfully lost inches in my arms, bust, waist, hips, butt, and even my calves. But my thighs are still the exact same. My shirts have gone from an L to an XS and my calves fit into the rain-boots that used to be to slim for me to wear - but my thighs are the exact same. Has anyone else had a similar problem? The only exercise I've been doing is cardio, so I don't think it is muscle bulk.

    I have the same problem. I thought it was because I carry most of my weight in my stomach and breasts, and I don't have much of a problem with my lower half, small butt, small legs. So when I lost weight, I lost it where most of the fat was.

    Yep, similar situation. I have very large thighs and a big bum too and it's sadly not possible to spot reduce.

    I'm a UK size 10-12 on top and 14-16 on the bottom. My waist is 28.5 inches and my
    hips 45!!

    I think just sticking with it in the long term is the way to go, it'll be the last place to come off, but it will come off eventually. Eventually, haha.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one in this boat! I think if I just keep at it, eventually something's gotta change. Right now my dress size is 4 sizes smaller than my pant size.

    Same here - when I take my measurements, I'll be down an inch in my waist and/or two inches from my hips but a quarter inch off my thighs.... Sigh! It will definitely be the last to go for me.

    You might just have muscular thighs. It's a lot harder to break down muscle than it is to burn fat. My thighs are very muscular from years of dance and even when I was at a sickly weight a few years back, they were still comparatively large for my frame.
