Saddlebags!

Is the only solution really either living with them, liposuction, or getting super thin?

My legs are ok otherwise and I like my size, but I think my saddlebags protrude quite a bit!

You're beautiful, and that's all I have to say!

You have completely lovely normal legs. You also look fit! Be very proud.

They’re a normal part of a women’s body, and as with every other part of us they vary between people. They’re fine!

You do have a lovely figure and your bannister pic made me laugh 😆.

The only thing that worked for me was running and lifting weights - slow progress but strengthened me up all over and changed my shape.

LOL the idea of that photo is that I'm already "toned" (and workout) but the only time I got rid of them was when I was running non stop and looked VERY thin (without clothes) I was a size 4 and needed to wear kids' clothes.

Well, you have your answer! That's obviously one of the places where your body chooses to hang onto fat the longest. You can either leave it there or lose it.

On me, it's the inner thigh. I'll always have 'chub rub' no matter how slim. Bodies are weird!

You are healthy and active. "Saddlebags" (such a misogynistic word) are a perfectly normal female body shape. You can dress to disguise them if you want but they are really only noticeable to you.

Agree you're gorgeous as are the so-called saddlebags
