any other curvy girls out there?!

Why are you exercising your thighs to make them smaller? Spot-reducing doesn't work; your body decides on its own where it wants to pull the fat from. What you are doing is strengthening your thigh muscles, which will make your thighs bigger.

Also, how are you exercising them? I've been told to lift lots of weight with fewer reps for big muscles and to lift less weight with more reps for a more toned look.

I'm curvy with a tendency for large muscles, but I love it, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask.

Weight loss and exercise cannot change your body type. Just aim for a healthy body and healthy weight.

Your "big" thighs and butt are part of your body type even if you're thin elsewhere. They get muscular because you're working them! There honestly isn't much you can do, so embrace it!

I'm a guy, but let me tell you a couple things:

1. Curvy = hot

2. Also, curvy women look at slim-hipped women and wish they looked like that, but slim-hipped women look at women like you and wish they could look like you!

Totally agree...I hate it when a worman says "does my butt look big in these jeans?" or "gah I hate my big butt and thighs"...I love my big butt and hope I don't lose much of it when I lose weight lol, and I hope my butt does look big in my jeans!! haha. I would love to trim down my thighs just slightly, they are to the point where they rub a little too much when I wear shorts, my stomach and face is my main concern, not my big girly curves

As a man I'd say keep doing what you're doing. Rail-thin legs are a turn off for me at least, and while women have been duped into thinking that they should look like sickly runway models and the like, most classic beauties that have been sketched or painted throughout history have been curvy.

my thighs are so strong i could crush a man's head between them.

Um...not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Trust me, for someone with no hips-- I'm jealous. I practically cry every time I measure myself and my hip measurement has gone down.

I am curvy. I have always been athletic. I have a very small waist and then big hips and butt. I have been doing the Brazil Butt lift for the past 5 weeks. I have lost three pounds and three inches. I may not always like all the workouts but it is working. I am also doing about 200 squats per day. If you like any information or questions about it, I can help you.

What is the Brazil Butt Lift? My Brazilian coworker tells me that Brazilians try to make their butts *bigger*, not smaller.

I am curvy to and i dont like big thighs, butt or hips. I have started doing the 30day shred on sunday and i can feel it working already. I no i will never be stick thin and don't want to be, just want to feel more tonned and fit into my jeans again. My boyfriend loves me the way i am and doesnt want me to lose weight but will stand by me all the way through. He has just asked me not to go to far with it. I find it really difficult even though a couple of years ago i was 11stone and went down to 9stone, i was still curvy and i loved being at 9 stone and curvy. Fingers crossed i will get back there.

If you are eating in a deficit, then your thighs are not getting muscular, no matter how much you want to believe it. Just because they get stronger, does not mean that they get bigger. The other reason why they look bigger is because of the fat left on them.. lose the fat, and they will look smaller.

This is bullsh!t. You CAN gain muscle on a deficit. Sure it may be minimal if you're a girl but it is still possible. DEAL.WITH.IT.

I have the ultimate hourglass figure, and I definitely have the same issue. I can't wear short shorts, dresses for very long, and hoodies NEVER fit right because my freaking boobs are too large for my frame. UUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm waiting for someone to come up with clothing that flatters a woman with a large chest that doesn't say "Stare Here PLZ"

Also, I have yet to find an exercise to get rid of the issue. Just general weight loss for an all-over size difference.

It might be just the way you're made. I'm an hourglass with big thighs and I had the same sort of shape even when I was slim and fit. In fact, exercise made my thighs bigger! I like that look on other women, though, so it doesn't bother to me to know that I'll never have slim thighs.
