I'm a super duper newbie and I'm just wondering when my thighs will get muscular enough so that I look halfway decent in lycra shorts! What my legs do now is indent where the shorts end and then the fat pooches out below the hem of the shorts. This is just DISGUSTING!

When I ride with other people, I'm only wearing my Pearl Izumi Sugar Knickers...they look much better and boy, they sure are comfy. Anyway, I can already see more definition on the outside part of my legs above my knees and in my calves. But the insides of my thighs and even the inside of my knees have so much flab! I am really hoping this will be replaced with muscle. It's ok with me if my thighs don't shrink, but something must be done about the flab! I wear a size 8, so I'm not terribly big, but wow, those bike shorts really do accentuate the fat!
