I hate my thighs. I think they are HUUGE (btw: NOT me in my picture :p)
They are 19-20 inches, and I'd like to know what's considered "small" / "thin"...
And please don't answer 10 inches.... that's not realistic for me :/

So, how small is small thighs? :)

    Depends on the person's figure. If you want a thigh gap, like your icon, then "small thighs" to you, will be you with a thigh gap. :)

    I'm jealous! I'm working my way towards one slowly. :) I think the "healthy" measurement is like 20-24 inches? I don't remember.

    I work at a gym, and the charts say "Thinner legs run between 20-22, muscular legs run between 22-24"

    Mine are 21 inches -.-

    I would say small would be around 18-19 or so. That is what my roommates are

    I'm really curious. If that's not you in your picture, then why do you have there there? Is that what you are striving for?

    Where on the thigh are you measuring? Middle, top?

    What have you found that works the best to lean up your thighs? I'm short and stocky so mine always seem to be bigger than I'd like.

    Mine are 20 inches and I think they're thin enough. They have muscles on them but they are slender and have a thigh gap.. I'd rather have them lose a little more fat and get a little more muscular than get smaller ;) Tightness is better!!

    I have pretty thick thighs and I've learned to live with it. I just tone up and do lots of squats and lunges so at least that way i can still look good.

    That person in the picture looks anorexic. I would not want to be that thin.

    It all depends on the person--this thread is almost depressing to someone like me with 26" meaty thighs! So, I would be very happy with 23" thighs. I would just say, don't set extreme or unrealistic goals for your body. Not everyone can be runway model size. You sound pretty small to me!

    Measure around the widest part of your thighs ;)

    Personally I think the person in the picture is a bit too thin...she has no shape. I'd want to be a little larger than that (but that is just for me).

    That being said, beauty is in th eye of the beholder. We each have our own ideals...

    I don't know what the ideal shape/size is for your body type, but you do... Just make sure your goals are attainable, and learn to love yourself at whatever size or shape you are.

    I find the picture motivating, I've always wanted smaller thighs.
