not a typical losing weight question


Question Posted Saturday July 26 2008, 12:31 pm

I'm 16/f, weigh around 120, and I'm 5'4. I know I don't need to lose weight but I have a problem coming to terms with the size of my thighs. I used to play soccer and still currently run track. My thighs are huge (muscular) and constantly people are telling me that I look like a gymnast and such. I hate it so much, I wish my thighs were smaller yet still muscular. Running doesn't help haha it only makes me more muscular while not downsizing the size of my thighs. I'm guessing the only way for them to become smaller is to change my diet? Or would that not work? And if it could work, what changes should I make to my diet to lose the extra leg? Thanks :)

maybe if you eat a lot of meat and eggs try decreasing the amt you eat so you're not eating as much protein (which adds to muscle growth)

but DONT cut it out of your diet entirely, because that is bad.

the only way you can get rid of muscle is to stop working out, which would just make you gain weight. i have the same problem as you because i've been doing track for 6 years so my thighs are really muscular too.
you can try making the muscles leaner by doing pilates and yoga. it's supposed to enlongate your body so your muscles won't be as bulky. it seems to help
