Lost 3 stone and still feel too big

[Unawarequickly]

Hi,

I am now 8 and half stone but I don't feel thin. I know I am not overweight, I look relatively toned but my legs still feel really big. Does anyone else feel like this? I can't really lose any more as I'm in danger of being 'underweight' but I thought I would look pretty slim at this point, but I just don't. Just wanted to vent.

I didn't feel slim at that size either. I'm now 12 stone and obviously not slim at all!

I have bigger legs. Even when I'm tiny my legs are still (proportionately ) big. It's my shape.

You can lose weight to be smaller but ultimately your shape is your shape. You can't make your legs longer, or give yourself stick thin legs if natural that's not your shape! (look at how many big people have skinny legs if you want proof of that!)

The trick is to work with what you have. Wear say a fitted top with floaty trousers or a maxi dress.

I was the same. Well, I was never 8 and a half stone, but I'm almost 6 foot tall. Even when I was very skinny (at 9 stone 3) I still had very large thighs. It's just my shape - I'm a bit pear shaped and my hips and thighs will always stick out. I've learned I just have to dress carefully to make the best of my figure.
