so i play a sport and my thighs have been getting bigger my sister is on varsity and i have to admit her thighs are... HUGE. i was just wondering will they ever go back to their original size? Because i don't think i can stand having big thighs the rest of my life (im going to be doing this sport for FOUR years)

After you stop working out, the muscle becomes fat and i heard that if you jog then your thighs will get smaller, is that right? O.o

So for a few months I was lazy and didn't tone my thighs.
They were a certain size.
A few months later, aka now, my thighs are the same measurement, but I weigh more.

So I don't think it will become smaller.

well usually what happens to muscles when you don't work them out anymore is that it turns into fat -___-" so maybe your thighs will look jiggly? idk

Muscle and fat are two different things. Muscle does NOT turn into fat.

I read somewhere that if you're not as active as when you were playing sports (or working out, etc), your muscles shrink and fat can fill the space where your muscle used to be.

no, they don't stay huge forever. for the duration of your sports, they will grow initially, and tone down a bit in the long run. if you stop exercising, your body will break down some of your muscle to supply the rest of your body with the necessary amino acids [the stuff your muscles are made of].

with proper nutrition, you can retain most of your muscle without too much exercise [basically, you get in a healthy dose of protein continuously all day]. if you eat less protein, you wont retain as much muscle.

no muscle does not become fat ..
when u stop exercising the muscle eventually will get smaller
but that will take a while.
