    What has happened with your weight in those 2 months?
    This is my question too. How much have you lost in that time?

    my weight has fluctuated dropped a few in beginning coz I started eating low carb calorie, after week 2 weight went up by 2 pounds. To date I've lost 13 lbs but was told it's water from low carbing

    I am totally okay with my thighs getting larger if the result is less ab fat!!! Muscles are beautiful.

    Thanks for all who posted. Informative!

    I highly doubt they increased by 2", for me that would take years in a surplus to achieve. Most likely some increase due to water retention and measuring a different spot or measuring tape not as tight (not pushing the fat in to get a smaller reading)

    I easily put on muscle mass on my legs, so I don't lift as heavy anymore I do higher reps and more HIIT sessions.

    most likely it isn't muscle mass, but rather water retention in the muscles to repair and protect. It will make them larger at first until you get used to the workouts then the muscles will shed most of the water, making legs slimmer.

    I must be doing something wrong...it's taken me like 3 years to put that kind of meat on my thighs.

    You would think the way some women post on here that it is super easy for women to bulk up :p

    I consider any weird measurement as possible error on the part of me, the measurer...did I actually measure in the same place both times? Who knows.
