Good Lord My Thighs

My lower body has just exploded as of late. More specifically, my legs. Anyone have any thigh-slimming tips? I'm trying to walk as much as I can, but it's tough with the weather being so crazy right now.

Re: Good Lord My Thighs
I am also carrying in my thighs (and butt too). I plan on walking as soon as the weather gets nicer but don't want to pay for a gym membership either...
Sorry no real help here but know you aren't alone.
No amount of working out is helping me.
I work out with strength training as I did before-e.g. 2 days a week (with obvious modifications now) and my ass and thighs are still expanding.
No tips, but I feel your pain. I was SO excited for summer to get here so I could start wearing dresses. Until I went to Florida last week and realized that my inner thighs now rub together (not brush - like one chunk of fat needs to squeeze by the other) when I walk.
I don't get it. I work out 5-6 times a week and still do squats and lunges. I guess that's just where the weight wants to reside
Ugh, Great! Thanks everyone!!
Glad to hear I'm not alone.
I just have visions of myself getting bigger and bigger and by month 9 looking like a giant waddling penguin. Curse these genes!! *shakes fist in air* I'm jealous of the ladies who are all belly.

ALL of my water weight is going to my lower half. I wore a dress and actually chafed my thighs and had to get special cream. WTF!
At least its almost sundress season! Skirts always seem more slimming.
No other tips, but maybe try doing walking lunges? I try to do them in my backyard whenever I'm out playing with my dog. Those always make my thighs burn all over - tricky inner spots too. No idea if its actually DOING anything, but its better than just tossing my hands in the air and giving up entirely.
ME TOO! I'm so relieved that I'm not alone! My thighs are touching, my ass is wide, lumpy and getting longer? Where's my cute fit bum?
I was SO excited to wear dresses and summer clothes. Ummm...shorts are OUT for pregnancy now and forget cute clingy cotton dresses.....my trunk junk is too messy looking!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL US THAT IT WILL ALL COME OFF!
THIS!!! WTH? I've always had a separation between my thighs and that's now a thing of the past. I told my sister I was going to purchase one of those "Thigh Master" things to see if it does anything. I've even noticed some of my pants have "the fuzzies" between the thigh areas from all the friction my thighs are causing.
Sad that we are going through this but glad I'm not alone.
Ditto all of this. It isn't fair! Mine were already ample enough and I have always worked out hard and lifted. I am already going to permanently lose the one small part of my body (waist/stomach) I don't need to gain more where I already have it. Oh well.
So Happy I'm not alone! I too am walking 3-4 times a week but am noticing mine are starting to rub!
Exactly why I cannot wear regular clothes that are just a size larger. Those shirts just cling to my butt and make me look huge, since I also have gained a lot of my weight in my lower body. I try to not look at my thighs it is so depressing..but good news I got my old thighs back after I had DD, so you will too!
Yay- a little light at the end of the tunnel!!
Thanks to PP who suggested lunges against the wall. Excellent idea, and one I hadn't thought of.
