Really Large Calves

Hey, I've been wondering what is wrong with my calves. I'm already relatively thin (5'5" and 105-110 lbs) but my calves are huge, even compared to people certainly heavier than I am.

Here are some pics:

What am I doing wrong? Is my only way more weight loss?

    It's genetic, nothing you can do about it. And yours look good. If you have weight to lose, you might lose some fat from there.

    They're not huge at all. Also, you may just be built a certain way. My thighs are quite slim but my calves are only slightly smaller in diameter. Nothing I can do to change genetics which kinda sucks since I love the look of over the knee boots and there's no way they go over my calves :/

    I have the same concern about my calves. But yours look great. They're shapely and proportional. You might be too hard on yourself. As someone else told me, "You have skirt legs." Go flaunt them girl! =)

    They look pretty normal to me. You should see mine. I love them though.. ;)

    Sorry but the only thing that is huge is your perception. Your calves are nice looking and in good proportion. I wish I had the same problem...

    Your calves definitely are not big.

    That doesn't look anywhere near "really large". You're being too critical on yourself. I have actual really large calves and other than not being able to wear boots I love them. It's not a negative thing in my opinion, just a different look.

    You're seeing something that isn't there...

    Your calves look great to me!

    Mine (genuinely) are huge - I only have about 30 lbs to lose but I can barely buy boots to fit without getting wide-fit ones from specialist retailers :( I'm hoping that losing weight will help. They feel quite muscly but hopefully I'll still lose a couple of inches...

    No not really large calves at all, and weight loss won't help make them smaller. Not that you'd want or need to lose any weight given your already low weight.

    Your calves are far from huge. They're actually on the small side.

    I think your perspective may be a bit off. Are you aiming for zero muscle at all?

    Eta... Actually.. They're quite beautiful. You have gorgeous legs.
