This might sound ridiculous and I hate giving into my inner demons that keep telling me my legs are too big for shorts, but I just want an honest opinion from people who won't neccessarily feel bad about telling me the truth straight up (the internet makes this so easy). I'm slim on my top, but my legs have always been the area of my body that I'm ashamed of and after losing about 10-15 lbs and a pant size (a size 8 now), I bought shorts but can't decide if my legs are ready for them. So please give me your thoughts about this!

Keep in mind that I would style this outfit better - i'm just wearing my ghetto tank top from bed time lol!

    Looks just fine to me. Wear them with your head held high after all the hard work you've done.

    You’re totally ready and I understand where you’re coming from. I bought shorts this summer for the first time *ever*. It’s an adjustment. You look fantastic, rock those shorts and legs :smile:

    P.S. Your cats are really cute!

    Why are you ashamed? Don't worry what other people may think. Their opinions don't matter and they probably aren't even looking at you. Wear what you want and feel good in. Your legs and body look healthy, be glad you can walk and when you are twenty years older, you will be wishing you showed them off more!

    I've always had big muscular thighs and big calves. Many many times I wish I had those slim lanky legs. But no matter how small I've been, my legs would never be used in a Nair commercial. But I have always worn shorts. You have nice legs and they are not as big as you think. Those look like my shorts I wore yesterday (Loft?) they are not my most flattering but so comfortable!

    Let's just assume that was weird humor. Those shorts are fine for anything casual and you can wear them for sure.

    Unless you're trying to get attention, most people won't give anyone a second look. My emphasis to all my clients is wear what makes you comfortable and don't fret about what others think. People are more concerned about how you view them, than the other way around.

    Your legs are lovely, imo. But the true test is, if you feel comfortable, then wear the heck outta your shorts! I completely agree that all the people you think are looking at you, won't really give it a second though and are far more concerned with how THEY look to you; which, of course, you're not even giving a second thought!

    The OP's question is "Are my legs to big for these shorts"? The response "Heck no!" seems to indicate that tufel believes your legs are not too big and I agree. Wear them confidently and with pride in your weight loss success!

    I think your legs look great. I see what you are saying in terms of just naturally being built with larger upper legs. For me it is my calves, it is a family trait. But you don't look bad, you just are never going to have little bird legs, it is not your body type. And that's okay.

    However, I'm a bit puzzled at the question... are only women with a certain type of leg allowed to wear shorts?? They are a comfortable summertime item of clothing that I wore when I was a 22W! Women of all sizes and shapes and ages wear shorts where I live (southern US). Now if they wear "Daisy Duke" shorts without having a Daisy Duke body they might attract an unkind statement or maybe a "bless her heart". :) But the ones you are wearing in the photo are just normal everyday shorts. They are quite loose (you might need a size smaller) and although they aren't knee-length they aren't exactly flashing your behind either ha ha. They really are quite modest and normal shorts that would be appropriate even if you were at your starting weight.

    Your legs don't look big to me. They look in proportion to your body and perfectly fine in those shorts.
