Leg photos before and after

Hey all. It is amazing to see all the before and after photos that people post, but more often than not, they have pants on. What I'm looking for are before and after photos of legs, mostly thighs. I carry A LOT of fat on my thighs and the cellulite is pretty bad. I'm really scared of what they are going to look like once I lose weight. Most "before" photos I see the person's thighs still look really good. No cellulite and they don't look like they have the gross, jiggly fat that I have. They still look pretty solid.
So I'm hoping someone, somewhere has a before photo of their "fatty" thighs and an after photo that will give me some idea of what I can maybe expect.

Here's a comparison I made last fall specifically zoomed into my legs.
The 2013 picture isn't my heaviest. I didn't start taking progress pictures until 2013 (my heaviest was in 2012).0 -
Great idea OP! I'm in for this too! I'm so worried about the back of my legs and kinda just expect they aren't going to look very good. My thighs have gone from 28 in. to 24.5 in.( last time I checked) with much more to go. So yeah, yay pics!0

Awesome job
Your legs look great and this was exactly what I was looking for!! 0 -
I've always had an issue with cellulite on my legs too. And it would be a challenge even when I was thin, because I would loose weight and the cellulite would look worse. But I realized that was because I was loosing muscle. So the best tip I can give is to make sure you exercise while loosing your weight! Building some muscle or trying to retain some of your muscle will help reduce the appearance of cellulite. I walk 5-6 times a week for anywhere between 60-80 minutes after work. I also use a Fitbit to track my steps throughout the day. I think this has really helped in improving the cellulite and preventing it from getting worse as I loose more weight.0

Amazing!0 -
Well done Shadow2Soul! Your legs look fab AND toned. Many women carry weight on hips and thighs, I know I do. I have a relatively small waist but then it all goes, literally, pear-shaped! So your pix will give me inspiration to keep going. Thanks for posting.0

I meant to add I also use Fitbit to track steps and it's very useful. Walking really does help keep you toned and if you're logging steps, you'll probably do far more than you would otherwise.0

I have an in-progress, but it may not help much - not a great photo, and I'm way older than you. Around my SW of 183 on the left, around 147 on the right, IIRC. Truthfully, they don't look that much different to me . . . at least until you realize that those are the same pair of red shorts in both photos. The fit is pretty different.

Not thighs, but calves.
These boots were a snug fit a year ago.

Wow this is encouraging as I had posted something awhile ago asking if my calves will shrink if I lose weight. I never had big calves until I started to gain weight. Thanks so so much for posting and keep up the great work!0 -

When I was in high school I was 113 lbs (I'm 5'2). As thin as I was I NEVER had a thigh gap. This is something to be proud of my friend! Awesome 0 -

Aw thanks! You all made my day!
