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.

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...

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.
