#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have lost about 1.5" so I am just under 16" now. Part from loosing weight, but also I found that when I wear my Rubber riding boots, while working, with warm socks and pants, my lower leg and ankles would be soaking from sweat. I also believe the water retention theory, water is heavy and collects in the lower leg/calve.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Just a suggestion, think like a ballet dancer, leg warmers to make the lower leg sweat! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Ballet dancer's use leg warmers to keep the muscle warm and prevent build up of muscle mass to keep the calve lean and elegant. You could use those misfit polo's around your calve!#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Karate for 15 years and Racquet Ball for 8 years; I know what you mean by large muscular calves. but I did drop from 17" to 15.75"#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My next delemna was my riding boots no longer fit me. I had 2 pairs of Boots (field & dress, and believe me 1.5" inches sticking out looks really baggy. So they went to the tack shop, I bought another pair. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
