    you are the same height as my sister and she weighs about 125 most of the time...she is slim but fit and looks great, not too thin.

    She is medium framed...wears a size 7 shoe

    but if you are happy where you are all is good..if you want to lose more go for it...

    will 10 pounds slim your thighs...who knows...no way to determine where the weight will come off.

    Sadly, you can't spot reduce. You may lose some weight from your thighs if you drop 10-20 pounds, but you may also stay roughly the same. I carry my weight in my butt and thighs. I can lose weight and notice a difference in my face and stomach and nothing in my thighs/butt area. It's all genetic. Every woman in my family carries weight the same way.

    Do you lift weights? Weight lifting can help you lose inches and help reduce your body fat percentage.

    I am 5' 3 1/2" and slender at 112 and fat at 121. The transformation is striking. You will be shocked at how much of a difference 10 pounds makes!!!!

    I had to reevaluate my ideal weight after menopause. Menopause deleted my hips/butt and pasted all the fat onto my waist! But before.menopause, for about 30 years I considered my ideal weight to be 131 to 135. My ex-husband thought my ideal weight was around 130, although he told me, "the only place you're fat is your thighs." Fortunately, I still have some fat in my thighs at 112. I don't want to have skinny legs!

    Yes maybe do some weight training/strength/HIIT training.

    Lose inches instead of the numbers on the scales - Change your body shape & tighten everything up
