My thighs are so big I have to wear trousers a size too big around the waist, which is really no fun at all!

But what bothers me more is the droopy bits I have under each buttock! Anyone got tips for getting rid of that?

My thighs are 27.5". I've always had thick legs (thanks Mom). Even my ankles are big. I have to wear a 11" ankle bracelet....

Just measured the other day for the first out of curiousity.

Mine are 21 each around the thickest part.

I have never liked my thighs my entire life. Starting to warm up to them now
