it depends on your body fat percentage really.

You may like your calves because they are the fullness you'd like to keep, but that may not be due to lean muscle mass. If it's body fat it will reduce in size along with everything else.

Unfortunately, you can't spot train body fat like you can if you wanted to build up your biceps or chest. It's not an independent muscle but think of all the fat in your body as one organ total. In order for one part of it to go down, some of all of it will have to go down. Some parts of your body can burn fat faster than other areas but it still has to come down as one.

It differs from person to person but places such as your face, hands, feet, distal limbs will show results the fastest, while the stomach and sub-pubic is usually slower. So, YES, it is normal. you will see the results you want with proper diet and intense exercise.

dont forget to change it up every so ofter to prevent your body from getting used to what you're doing. You will 'plateau' if you don't use variations.

If you liked the size of your calves you need to build them up, but be careful because calves can get bulky and 'cut up' pretty quickly. I'm not sure if the muscular look is the kinda look you're going for.

I hope this helps.

Its very difficult to lose weight in certain spots. I usually lose most of my first 10 lbs from the mid ribcage area. Thats below the chest and a little above the waist. Although I don't want to lose weight there. Don't feel discouraged if you are not losing weight from the problem spots. You'll get there soon if you keep up the healthy diet and exercise.

dieting usually makes you lose weight from your face, then your stomach, then your hips and thighs. you are probably toning your legs because of the type of exercise you're doing. exercises such as running or cycling will tone your legs more than the rest of you. to firm up your tummy, do dynamic stretches such as lunges and tense your stomach muscles the whole time.

anyway, only 17 days into an exercise regime is early days for seeing results, so stick it out at least 2 months, then you will definitely see some results.
