They have big muscles AND fat. I don't like them. So what am I going to do about them? Keep lifting weights, and eat at a small calorie deficit (including adequate protein), and lose body fat.

    You'll love those big muscles after the fat starts burning away.

    Mine too! And little by little, they get smaller and tighter. :)

    Oh, I love them now. I can catch glimpses of my definition when I move. They look super awesome during my squats. My thighs would be big without muscles but they'd just be fat. They look much better with muscles under the fat. Also my muscles on my upper body really help balance out my thighs. In short, I love muscles, and weight lifting.

    I have always loved my bulky legs. It's my belly I don't like so much.

    How can I get a thigh gap? It seems no matter what I do I'll never get one.

    You could always have it removed...

    WTF?

    It was a joke.

    I was thinking the same thing this morning! My calves are very muscular. So, are my thighs, but there's this flab on the inner thigh...gotta work on that...

    Not me. No way. If I lift they really will be bulky. I have to spend lots of time doing cardio and eat 1200 calories a day.

    My thighs are bulky, too. You have a good silhouette, though....my saddlebags (still) prevent me from posting any silhouette photos. I'm hoping by December.

    You look great - keep it up!

    Thats what I thought. Damn was I ever wrong. Cardio was making it worse. Switched to lifting and ST for 80% of my workouts- lost 6 inches on each thigh so far in the last year.

    After a dissapointing measurement yesterday, this gives me hope!

    I abandoned my cardio-purist ways and am loving ST. To me even more important than how my body looks is the VAST (and boy do i mean vast) improvement over how my body functions.

    A full load of groceries to my 2nd floor apartment alone in one trip? No problem.

    Un-sticking our crazy 1950's windows? I got this.

    Call my boyfriend to help me move the (insanely heavy) solid wood desk to clean? Never again!!

    I *heart* my increased strength!!

    That's a joke? To each their own I guess.

    I love my big thighs. They keep me from looking like a boy.... and I love the look on my husband's face when he squeezes my leg and I flex it.

    I hate that all the shorts I tried on yesterday were designed for someone with the "coveted" thigh gap. :ohwell:
