Thank you everyone. You have all made me feel a lot better about it and hopefully I will at least get some definition and shape to them.

I suspect that I do carry water there. Especially when it is hot. But I also think I will always have bigger than average legs - I would just like them to trim down a bit. I still have a way to go so hopefully there will be some difference.

Lots of my family have biggish calves but not to the extent I do but they are all relatively slim. I do see a physio for my back and she has been doing a lot of physio on my calves as the muscles are so tight from all the walking. She massages them to try and loosen them up.

Just keep doing what you are doing. I am very overweight but eating at a deficit and just into week 5 of strong lifts. I won't lie, the weight isn't coming off but I have noticed my arms are firmer and my waist is smaller. I am putting the lack of weight loss down to newbie gains. Also I just squatted 112 lbs yesterday and…

I use Flahavans as well. I soak 60g the night before in my bowl with water only (I hate milk) and then add a spoon of strawberry jam after microwaving it in the morning.

I have been working out for the last year and occasionally suggesting to my husband that he walk with me or whatever. I go to a personal trainer and my fitness level has hugely improved. He now wants to keep up with me. He has been seeing a trainer for the past few months and is getting healthier and fitter - but he did it…
