I have always been a bigger boned girl. I danced, swam, ran track, played soccer, rugby, everything and still was about a 12 - 18. All my life. A struggle with the big thighs and my mother didn't help the situation. Mind you we wear the same size??? So anyhow, I'm getting serious into training now and I can see the ole' thighs getting bigger, I don't like it!!!! I think more than that, I hate the comments about how much I work out but my body never really changes drasyically. Any suggestions? ideas? But I admire strong legs and I don't feel that I have a problem with my thighs on my own but more as a collective when others comment. I love my mom but she has contributed greatly to my body image, issue. Anyhow ladies, biking chic look great! the thighs go with the spandex, embrace it!
