I also hate my big calves. I'm 5'3" in height and weigh around 8 stone; slim in general apart from my huge calves (14.7 inches, just measured!); totally out of proportion. I was feeling frustrated cause I thought that any exercise would just make them bigger but I continue to exercise because I like to keep slim and healthy. I'm really pleased to come by this website and find other people with the same problem. I was interested to read about the exercises you can do to reduce your calve size (http://www.calfreduction.net/content/train-reduce-muscle-size?). I would not consider surgery cause I don't want to risk the ability of my body to run and walk etc; definitely not worth that for vanity! I'm going to give this exercise/diet regime a go (it doesn't look too hard to achieve!) I've measured my calves today and I'll keep a weekly measurement. I'll keep you posted if it works or not. I'd be interested to hear form anyone else who's given this a go? I've also been doing some yoga and lots of calve stretching but not noticed any visible difference; no measurements to go by though. I'm going to keep up the stretchy stuff as well as the exercises.
