Left is 25.5 and Right is 26.5. Down from 28 and 29 respectively. I suppose I could have measured "between" the celulite ripples and came up with a smaller number? ha

Top of thigh is 28.5 and bottom of thigh is 21.5. I never measured this way until I saw this thread today, however I think I'll be keeping track this way, instead of trying to figure out where I measured last week.

Hey NoGainHere.... have you ever thought about getting your boots stretched? Are they leather? My best friend got a great pair of boots and bought them even though they didnt zip up all the way. Do you have a nordstroms near ya? or.. maybe a macys would do it too. But at nordstroms where she bought the boots they stretched them for free for her..... Anyway.. just a thought! Hate to see a great pair of boots go to waste..

(By the way, im picturing like black zip up boots... the kind some people lovelingly refer to as "F*ck me boots".... )

Maybe that'll help!

I am 5'7 130-29 lbs and my thighs are 22 at the top and 15 just above the knee. My legs are my worst feature. Second worst is my abdomen, but we don't want to go there. I am at the lower end of the weight chart and I still have an unhealthy hip to waist ratio..... This sucks, whatever..................

Not sure where mine are, I don't have a tape measure, but I know they've shrunk a bit. I have an hourglass figure so my hips/booty/thighs are bigger and my waist is smaller so it doesn;t look as bad I hope

mine are 24 a the top they still touch. I have to be so skinny just to feel a little breeze in there. Why are they always the last part of the body to shrink especially when we work out out thighs so much!

(((w0rd))) I feel your pain. I am in the same boat. I think no matter how skinny I get, my frame/muscluature will not accomidate a "healthy" hip to waist ratio. I guess we were were built like tanks, sturdy and durable.

I haven't measured mine ever...I am going to buy a tape measure for myself this weekend!! I have noticed that my thighs seem bigger lately, but then I figured it out. My "pooch" stomach is shrinking a lot, so my legs look bigger..(I hope) I know that I still fit into my size 8 or 10 jeans!! (I even found a size 6 that fits..I had to buy them just for the number inside)

Mine were a whopping 32" when I started atkins. They have now reduced to 25" but I think I need about 2 more inches for them to not rub together at all.

Can't wait for that! First time in my life!

My thighs must be weird. At the tippy top right under the buttocks isnt the fattest part of my thigh. The fattest part is about 2 inches down where my inner thigh gets big.

My thighs at the fattest part are 23 inches. My GROSS calves are 17" there are pictures on p11 of my journal of how gross my calves are.

Dont feel bad. I have freak legs!
