Hello! I am around 5'5 (a bit under), weigh 115 and have about 21% BF. I measured my thighs and they are 16.5 inches. Is this bad or good? It seems too small compared to my stats

    The thing is my waist is only about 27 " so I feel like it isn't proportional

    I'm not perfectly proportional either. I'm 5'6 and I weight 125. My waist is 26/27 and my thighs are 20/21.....I have always been pear shaped. I'll take some off my thighs and give it to you, ok? LOL :tongue: Are you measuring at the widest part?

    I have a 25-26 inch waist and the tops of my thighs measure about 22.5 inches. I feel out of proportion but I always get told I don't look it. I wouldn't worry about it. We're always way more critical of ourselves than others are.

    I am indeed. I just want some of my abdominal fat to move to my bum and thighs hahaha

    It sounds a bit on the small side... Did you measure around the widest part of your thigh?

    If so, don't worry, I guess you just have slim thighs! Woot woot for you!
