My thigh measurement in inches is a bit above 15 and my bmi is the same number!

I checked this on a few people and it's always the same.

I think certain thigh measurements tend to correspond with certain ranges of bmi.

Like my bmi is in the 14s but my thigh measurement is a little more than 15" and from what I've observed, others within this range tend to have measurements between 14-16" depending on their body structure. 😬

Nope , not in my case , thighs are 17.5 and 18 ( yes they are different ) but my BMI is 22 unfortunately , i think it depens where you hold your weight. Mine's all in my stomach

Definitely not. Especially not for pear shape women. They carry all their weight in their hips/thighs

My thigh tends to run smaller than my bmi. I'm long and tall though. I think that makes a difference

My thighs are always way bigger than my BMI. Like when I was BMI 15 my thighs were like 18-19”. I don’t know about my LW though, that was before I ever measured myself
