I measured my thighs and they are about 24" 😡

I have been working out and lifting heavy to tone my arms and upperbody, but doing sumo squats to focus on my inner thighs. I've reduced my calorie intake to under 800 calories a day and usually only eat one meal due to my fasting schedule. Any other tips for trying to get thinner legs? I know I can't spot reduce but is there a workout that has helped you get leaner legs that I've overlooked. I do some light running as well.

Just how much weight are you losing? Is this venturing into being emaciated and anorexic?

@deadgerbil no not at all, I weigh 130 rn but I plan to lose about 20-25 more lbs. My legs are the only part of my body I'm having trouble seeing much change in now 😩

@Bananana how tall are you?

Keep in mind that different people's bodies store fat differently, so your legs may be the the first area where your body puts fat.

So you may have to creep into very low body fat percentages to get the look you want, and that's not necessarily healthy. Women need to have more essential body fat.

It's just like how some women strive to get a 6 pack and they feel like absolute shit bc it's not healthy or worth while

@deadgerbil yeah ive read about that, I'm slowly trying to get my body used to doing water fasts, my most recent was 3 days and that helped me drop some pounds but I'm hoping if I can last a few more days the fat will start going. I'm 5'3 so pretty average 😩

@Bananana I did a two day water fast before. Kinda inadvertently, I don't have weight loss goals.

But yeah, make sure you're getting all of the proper nutrients during this period of calorie restriction, bc you don't want to be lacking in that bc it will increase your risk of injury as you tone your muscles
