I'm 5'8" and weigh 155 or so. I would LOVE to see someone in the fashion industry design clothes that fit MUSCULAR women!
I had high hopes for things like LuluLemon and Athleta and Columbia and REI, since they portray themselves as "sports" clothes first I thought they'd fit over muscles. Uh, no. They fit over skinny lil' butts. Not powerful haunches like mine. Or broad shoulders like mine. And they gap at waists like mine.
I have had good luck with Horny Toad and Ibex, and Levis men's 560 and 501 jeans. And believe it or not, Coldwater Creek.
"Big" thighs are signs of POWER, which our current societal desperate-to-go-back-to-the-good-old-days fixation doesn't value. So fashion isn't going to support it.
Ignore the fanstasy-fixation that surrounds us! Love your power! Honor your biker's thighs!

My $.02 is that you need to learn how to measure your body fat. It's more about measuring your body than what you weigh, what and how much you eat and how you exercise. I would recommend getting calipers to measure your body fat over the digital body fat scales. They'll give you a different reading every time. I did the Body for Life program for four years and had great results.
