I'm slightly under average in weight, but I've always had muscular legs. I haven't noticed until recently though that my thighs are actually wider than my hips, and it's very notifiable when I wear something like a tight dress.
Is this at all normal?
It's probably not abnormal if you're extremely muscular in your legs. Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton was referred to as "Thunder thighs". She was a very powerful athlete. :-)
Normal, meaning totally possible without there being anything wrong with you - assuming you don't have hip or knee pain. People have larger muscles here and there depending on what kind of activities they pursue. And people tend to deposit fat in different pockets. These localized muscle bulges or fat deposits can be more noticeable on thinner people. Google images of the hip and thigh. Flex your thigh muscles and feel the area to identify each muscle and any fat deposits. If it's muscle, check out pics of female gymnasts or cyclists and you'll see it's common for their thighs to be wider than their hips.
I have just never noticed a shape like that on myself or anyone until recently, but thanks guys. JD777 and RoseIsabella lol you guys helped
