Thread: Knee High Boots and Weight Loss

I am glad to read that some people have found calves to shrink. My husband has promised me a pair of long leather riding boots when I get to target.

I have a couple of pairs of pull on boots, they are great!

I have lost 4 stone am nearly at my goal and my calves don't seem to have shrunk at all... What am I diong wrong!?

ahhh i'm not the only one with thick calves. I blame horse riding but now a lot of the muscle is gone and now just flab....

but i always struggled to gets normal boots zipped up over 3"

My muffin tops and legs are the last thing that I loose weight off! I bought a pair of knee high boots when I was larger, I couldnt do them up over my calfs, no I have three pairs and they are all fine. All stiletto heeled to about 5". Gotta love the heels!

i love heels but in flats am i tiny bit taller than on OH

Nothing hun - the next 6lbs will fall off your calves LOL
But seriously, I've had the same problem and I know that I have to lose weight from anywhere else just to see any results on my legs.
Still have some flab on my tummy so once this's gone my legs will be next.
We're all different and there is nothing you can do about it.
You've done amazingly well losing these 4s! Hold on there you'll lose the stubborn rest in no time xxx

I hope you're right! My weight loss is officially 4 1/2 stone now! Yay!

All my knee high boots don't zip up and the ankle boots only go half way. I really hope my calves slim down but a wee bit worried they will get bulky with all the exercising I am doing.

I was chuffed to bits last night!

I tried a pair of kids zip up boots on in asda last night for a laugh and they bloody zipped up!

Couldnt afford to buy them though lol

I cannot wait until I have lost enough weight to wear normal boots. x

My favourite ever purchase was made last year, I treated myself to a pair of black, high-heeled over-the-knee boots form DUO in a 48cm calf width (£175) for my birthday. If I ever have a slight regret WHEN I lose a lot of weight it will be that they will no longer fit. I hope to wear them lots in the early part of this winter before they get too big!

Doubt I'll really regret it though; would much rather be a size 16, 14, 12 etc. and not be able to wear my boots than stay a size 20 and wear them daily!
