I have always had this problem whether skinny or fat (I've been extremely skinny before and still had this problem) and I am so insecure about it. What are some exercises I can do to smooth out the dip between my love handles and my hips? Heres a pic if it helps understand what I'm talking about

    You can't get rid of it. Everyone has it, except people who are photoshopped.

    I have the same "hip dip" too
    Unfortunately you can't determine where your fat comes off. :/
    Best thing to do is lower your body percentage otherwise it could be the genes to blame.

    Get rid of it? I didn't think it was possible. As an artist, I always draw my women with them... always. I wasn't even aware you could get rid of it. *slow shrug*

    This... You say you have it when you're bigger or smaller... It's just one of those things... Get over it!

    The hip dip is normal.
    Same with touching thighs.

    You are made that way. It's called violin hips or high hips.

    Here's an article on how to disguise them if they bother you. Personally, I think they are beautiful and not anything to worry about. I received many compliments on mine when I was a healthy weight and almost certainly someone is admiring yours even if they haven't said.

    Whether I am thinner or chubbier, I've always had it. I actually feel like the thinner I am, the more noticeable it is.

    Its a bone structure thing.
    I don't think you can change your bone structure for the most part...

    Lots of yoga and ballet. Plus lose weight, i.e., eat healthy whole foods, drink water and tea and consume fewer calories than you burn.

    I see what you guys are saying. Maybe it's more the fat bulge above it I want to get rid of and not really the dip itself . Oh well

    I also have the same issue, which is on my right side. I was told that it is because I do things to the right, example we get in the car to the right. I was introduced to some hip exercises that help strengthen the hips a little and help get the bump down. For two days my hips hurt never felt those muscles before. I hope they work and help. Bottomline I think that the hip bump can go down but will see.

    There's one thing I wish young women would understand. There is a difference between beauty and fashion. Beauty is timeless. Fashion changes with the wind.

    Once it was fashionable for women to be pleasingly plump then it was to be rail thin. At another time, it was fashionable to have wide hips, a thin waist and a flat butt then it became fashionable to have a voluptuous bosom and a prominent butt. At another time, it was outrageous for women to have any noticeable muscle definition and increasingly muscularity in women is gaining acceptance.

    Yet as fashion changes we are able to look at paintings and photographs of women from bygone eras and appreciate their stunning beauty though we know they are no longer fashionable.

    Fashion can be fun but don't let it control your life. The features that are in fashion today will be so outmoded tomorrow. Fashion is about being like the crowd. Beauty is about timelessness and being unique. A great part of beauty is knowing the art of making the most of what you have. Therefore, instead of worrying about your high hips, play up your narrow waistline and enjoy every moment of life while you still have it.

    Well said:flowerforyou: :drinker:

    What you are seeing is the natural consequence of being a short-waisted woman. Basically, the distance between your rib cage and your hips is small so, your body has to fit everything that a longer-waisted woman has into a small er space. I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you can get thin enough to get rid of it but you will also be getting thin all over and very possibly will end up too thin.

    The alternative is to spend time learning how to dress a short-waist. Clothes are meant to flatter your body, not the other way around. Here's a good place to start learning how to use clothing to your advantage.

    Frankly, I see nothing at all wrong with your body but that's something you'll have to learn to appreciate yourself.

    Good advice but I'm not the op - don't think she's around anymore. I didn't post a picture but I am short waisted so maybe there's something to that. I don't really want to get any thinner so I' ll just deal with it. It's not that big of a deal to me really.
