Thigh measurements?
 
Will anyone share theirs w /me? even privately?
MY thighs are HUGE and I have that fat thing by my knee. I hate them. :(

24.02 in (61.00 cm) - down 5 inches from when I began, I have always had large thighs even when I played soccer and swam they where huge.

sherbear Sun, May-02-04 10:32

I am not proud of this...........but sure , I'll share it with you. Mine measure 34 inches! Is that a sin or what! However...........I am confident that if I continue to eat this way, that by next year they will be much, much smaller! Sher

Mine are 29 at the very top.....16 at the knee.... I've always had bigger legs, which when I'm thin and work out they look good (cheerleader legs)...but at this weight they look horrible...lol

22.5 inches here. I get weighed and measured monthly and my thighs and arms are reducing the slowest. Makes sense since proportionally they is less fat there than in my hips, abdomen or waist.

mel92 Sun, May-02-04 11:12

22.5" on the Right, 23" on the left. I wonder what is an attractive thigh size to have? LOL I'm beginning to think I should lose more weight...

NOGAINHERE Sun, May-02-04 12:00

Well mine are 19 inches at the very top. I'm getting discouraged about it! :(

ndhulst Sun, May-02-04 13:47

haven't measured mine, not sure I want too lol

I have always had big thighs, and calfs(all that clogging!!)

even when I was thin, I had to wear bigger pants to accomidate those nasty thighs!! oh well, now I just live with them...what I am really sick of is the belly from baby!! I could do without that!!

sqkitty Sun, May-02-04 13:54

well, mine are now 24 1/2 down from 26 starting 2 weeks ago. Hope to go down much much more!

NOGAINHERE Sun, May-02-04 14:12

Melissa, my legs are so heavy! My calves are too big for this great pair of Tommy boots I bought! :( I have these brand new boots I can't wear or return :(

Fatkat Sun, May-02-04 14:48

22.5 at the top I don't measure the bottom. I started at 27"..

tcastro Sun, May-02-04 14:53

Just cause they're heavy (due to muscle), or your calves don't fit into your new boots (again, due to muscle), doesn't mean that your legs are too big! Not everyone is going to fit into every style of clothing or shoe. We are all different proportioned. I am amazed at how athletic your legs look NOGAINHERE, and really do wish I could get mine to look like yours.:(

Nancy LC Sun, May-02-04 15:16

Mine is currently 25" down 1.25" from when I first measured it on April 1. Trade ya!

NOGAINHERE Sun, May-02-04 15:16

:: kisses:::: you are just too sweet! :)

Vanity3 Sun, May-02-04 15:19

23 inches...but I still wear a size 8 or 9 pants....Anyone know of a good plastic surgeon that does inexpensive lipo suction?

lynneuk Sun, May-02-04 15:19

My thighs are 23 inches which looks proportionate with my size right now but my calves are HUGE!! 161/2 inches to be exact. I hate them.
I did a lot of horse riding for many years and I think that is how they got so muscular.
I guess we all have our problems!

Omg I sooo know what you mean. I hate hate hate that! I am about 20 lbs away from the chafing.

Justjen72 Sun, May-02-04 15:25

I just measured. Mine are 20 inches each. 15 closer to the knee. :)

BlitzedAng Sun, May-02-04 17:11

I am the queen of thunder thighs. Nomatter how much the rest of my body shrinks they stay the same. So actually now they appear BIGGER. Royally sucks rocks.

tcastro Sun, May-02-04 19:21

The leg muscles are the last muscles to shrink. You use them everyday when you walk, so it could be a year or more after you lose the weight before they get into proper proportions.

NOGAINHERE Mon, May-03-04 04:23

Well my thighs have shrunk - I know by 4 inches, but I didnd't even measure them at my heaviest :o - Good grief. I'll quit complaining.

MsBrenda Mon, May-03-04 04:33

I just measured mine... :( 24 inches at the top. I can't complain, they were 27.

BlitzedAng Tue, May-04-04 14:33

23 at the top. Geesh, why did I look?

Meadow_001 Tue, May-04-04 14:39

Mine are 23" at the top of the thigh.

Elsah Tue, May-04-04 14:51

Mine are 20.5 at the top, 13.5 above the knee, 12 inch at the calf followed by my child sized 7 inch boney ankle.

w0rd Tue, May-04-04 16:05

is "the top" the biggest part of your thigh?? im not sure where to measure! [im a little slow :)]

Nancy LC Tue, May-04-04 16:07

Right under the buttock. So yes, the very tippy top part.

w0rd Tue, May-04-04 16:10

look out for thunder thighs!

i have 21 at top [the fattest part] and 14 at my knee..
im 120 lbs can we say 'disproportioned'?

im not looking for excuses but i do lift weights and run a ton.. could that be why? now i am discouraged and mad that i just drank my low-carb "shake" [cream water cocoa and splenda (and a small amount of whipped cream) ] :o

how do i make these things go away!?!?!?!?!
