You might try walking more or using a treadmill to build your endurance. It’s probably more a case of weak leg muscles than weight per se.

When I was younger I was an average weight and I got leg cramps all the time. Now, I've gained a lot of weight and have them less frequently, quite the opposite of your situation. I think more than anything you should focus on treating your legs well with daily exercise and stretching. I don’t think weight has much to do with it.

My husband, who is not overweight, in fact, may be considered underweight by some standards gets woken up several times a week. So I do not believe that weight is a factor for leg craps.

I seem to think the overworking of the muscle is the true issue and not weight. I've been 20 pounds overweight and did not notice any difference. Good Question.
