calves
So I have really big calves that I've always been self-conscious about. I hate wearing shorts, and skirts not becuase of my legs, but specifically becuase of my calves. I will NEVER in school, but around my friends I build up some courage to. The other day for the first time someone actually called my calves big.. I'm not athletic, I'm not over weight altough right now I'm trying to lose some. Why are my calves so big? Is this just how my body is or is there something I can do about it? I don't want them reall muscular just thinner. Is losing weight going to help?

Are we talking about just naturally big calves or "Cankles" here?
Your level of activity and how much you walk can affect the size and shape of your calves. Genetics is a big part- if the women in your family have the same kind of legs; it's likely that you will too. The calves are an extremely stubborn muscle to develop because they're used to a heavy workload day in and day out.
Losing weight will help, but it's really just genetics. Sorry :-(
Don't worry- I don't have the best calves either and I pound the shit out of them when I train legs lol.
