Hello all!
My legs have to be the biggest 'body image' I have. I have always felt they were more tree-trunk like than anything. Can anyone share some photos that show your legs have become thinner/more defined, and give me some hope to hang onto?

I have started running, any runners out there with some leg to show? :P hahaha

    I've only just started, so no photos from me but I feel your pain! I find my legs incredibly hard to shift weight from.

    I was trying to find some for you, but my legs will never be smaller, not matter how hard i try. But I like them. I've played soccer my whole life and have HUGE thighs that make me look disproportionate in a bathingsuit. But most of the time I get lots of compliments on my legs and muscular calves

    Me too! I lost already some weight, but my thighs are still so fat and wobbly... My mom always tells me that's just like the women in our family look. But I really hope this is not true cause I really HATE my legs...

    I can fulfill only part of your request- I don't have any "before" pictures, but this is a couple weeks ago. By BMI standards, I'm still "obese" but I run and lift weights and my legs look pretty good. Also, I do measurements regularly, and it took for.f*cking.ever for even the slightest change in my thighs, but finally it started to move. Hang in there!

    I call this "The legs of obesity"

    I wish I had some before & after leg pictures to show you!

    I have some recent pictures I have not yet had the courage to post. I will do this soon. But alas, no legs! Just redefined abs, chest & shoulders.

    However, check out my profile picture. I used to have a 46" waist. I now have a 32" waist. The pants in the picture are my last pair of "fat" pants!

    As for body image. Focus on performance goals. As you meet your performance goals, the rest of your body follows along! :-)

    You ran a 5K race. AWESOME! - Now do it again and train to beat your first time. Then again with an even better time.

    Trust me when I tell you that your body will change dramatically the more you train.

    Your calves do look amazing. Who's the barefoot lady in the blue dress. Her calves are huge.
