So I’ve always had a thing about my legs, it’s where I carry the most weight but from the side they look huge .., but I’d that normal?

I can grab some fat on it but it almost doesn’t seem like loads?

My legs are like this OP, along with my chubby cheeks it's where I carry my extra weight. I'm wondering if you have your bum sticks out/you have a bit of an anterior pelvic tilt ( i do ) which might explain the reason your front thigh curves like this

Probably a bit on the chubbier size but nothing that some good exercise and a tweek to the diet wouldn't help x

@that25cUKHeatwaveof2019 well said.

@ItIsWhatItIsInnit - thank you for your reply. That is really interesting and helpful.

Put it this way OP - my thigh circumference is 17 1/4 inches.
My waist is 31.5 inches.
I'm carrying all the weight on my tummy/torso/back/boobs
I'm in the gym most days - just about to get in the shower now in fact to go to Boxing fightcamp - despite aching muscles and literally only being 15 days since I was completely sedentary due to a bout of depression.
I don't want to go - but I'll put up with the pain of classes, as it's less pain that looking at my big fat tummy! Sad

You probably have a smaller waist than me.

If you could book one PT class asking them to design a workout for you to specifically target your thighs, it would pay dividends.
Good luck.

I’ve been with a PT for 2 years and I’ve lost 4 stone.

Like I said I can almost pretty much fit a size 10 Jean, I just think my thighs look very fat.

Well that's bloody good going! I hope it doesn't take me 2 years to lose a few inches off this belly. You've good sticking power anyway!

Thump · 09/07/2019 17:42

I'm a size 10 because of the size of my waist Sad

My thighs are massive compared with the rest of me. I have parsnip legs. Slim everywhere, apart from the upper thighs which are huge. Hate them.

Pinkyyy · 09/07/2019 19:48

Maybe they just look bigger than they actually are then, OP. Because looking at that picture I wouldn't have thought you could get in a size 10. Pictures can be misleading.

dragonflyflew · 10/07/2019 16:20

Looks exactly like my legs tbf. I am actually trying to lose weight...

User8888888 · 10/07/2019 18:25

I have thighs like yours and I’ve wondered about the lipedema before. I’ve had shit legs being skinny and being a bit fat. 30 day shred and weight exercises made some improvements but I think I’d have to be anorexic to have normal looking legs. It’s easy to hide with dresses but shorts are never going to be my friends.
