Weird fat deposit?

[LycraLovingLass]

OK I have some weird fat on my thighs, which exercises do I need to do to get rid of them??

I havent noticed them before but these leggings seem to highlight it!!

Looks like your quads to me?

Is that where they are? I'm not tensing anything though.

Saddlebags? I suffer from them too

Thats what I thought @dementedpixie, how do I remove them?

Do you drink diet coke or other food/drinks with fake sugar? I stopped drinking diet coke around 8 years ago and the big difference I noted about 6 weeks later was smooth thighs and cellulite almost gone.
Other than that, body brushing towards the heart might help.

Tense your legs. Are they muscles?

If not, normal general body fat reduction. You can't target areas for fat reduction, it's a whole body thing. You can't shift it around either.

If they are muscles, enjoy them!

Just a normal aspect of many women’s body shape.

You can't exercise to get rid of specific areas of fat. You just need to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat. You might not lose that spot before you lose your boobs and bum though - just be prepared!

That's muscle, if you want to get rid of if then stop exercising and start laying around all day instead.

Saddle bags. I've had them since age 15 and my BMI is only 19! Lipo apparently the only answer! Grrrr

I'm so confused, half are sayibg muscle and half saddlebags .

Will carry on with what I am doing and see if they get bigger = muscle or smaller = fat.

Will try and remember to repirt back in a month or so

I do drink a lot of diet pop yes to the poster that asked.

They aren't muscle, I'm a powerlifter, I know all about muscle . They are saddlebags.

They look like the top of the muscle, they don't look like fat.

Would be easier to tell without leggings but appreciate you probably don't fancy posting a photo

That's not muscle! OP your legs are great. Don't over think it

You are very slim, OP. And so-called ‘spot reduction’ exercise doesn’t work. Those look like normal shapely female legs to me.

Do you have a foam roller? You could try doing your quads with it.

I was just surprised as I have never noticed the weird lump shape before. I think the writing on the leggings draws the eye to that area which made me notice maybe?

I've been so focused on my mum tum I dodbt even know I had saddle bags

When the swimming pool opens again you could also try walking in water. You stand upright and 'walk' up to the deep end. It kills but it does flatten the thighs.

Tense it to see if it is muscle or fat! Running and leg press machines should sort it out if it is fat.

I dont go to pools, people soup is gross and I am only 5ft3 so cant get to the deep end

It sort of lifts up and down when I tense but it would do that either way cos if its fat it would have muscle underneath.

I think you look fabulous and would love legs like yours! One day when you are old you will look back and think “I really had a lovely figure and didn’t think so at the time” you have seriously lovely legs.

Thank you so much I am never happy, always find something bad to focus on.

Don’t, I can guarantee that you will look back on those those gorgeous legs with great fondness.

I do mean to add, there isn't anything wrong with your legs, not sure if my post came across as harsh by giving you ways to "sort it out"!
