    Seriously, if I think my thighs are fat, do you think I would wear spandex material? LOL

    LOL Oddly the answer is still YES. Just make it BLACK spandex (bike shorts, compression shorts, whatever) and wear them underneath other shorts.

    Oh H*LL, no ... I wouldn't be caught dead in just* spandex shorts and nothing over them...nobody at the gym wants to know that much about me! :wink:

    I never wear shorts, only yoga pants.

    Now- I tend to store fat in the hip/thigh area as well. The only thing that works for me when it comes to toning that are up is jillian michaels banish fat boost metabolism dvd. Those sumo squats get you amazing results. I mean, seriously amazing. It may also be all the jumping in the workout, but whatever it is, it seriously amazingly works!

    YES!!! That two inch long fat lump is what keeps me out of smaller pants!!! Errg! And it's not muscle, it IS fat. I can feel where my muscle and the fat are. It's so gross to me. I hate that I let myself get like this.

    I gained a TON of weigh my freshmen year at college... Freshmen 15?? NOPE... try the freshmen 40! 90% of it happened after Christmas break. With that rapid weight gain I ended up with little stretch marks on my inner thighs. I've lost some weight before through diet and excercise but I still always have those little lumps there. I worry that with the stretch marks there that I am always going to have fatty pockets on my inner thighs!

    My thighs are road maps of stretch marks from having babies. lol I even have a few on my calves. And I often wonder if that area will ever slim down.

    You can try and spot reduce all you want, but it'll never happen. Toning the area does help though.

    My thighs and arms are probably the worst with genetics so those areas are the hardest for me, but slowly and surely, it's coming off. I just stopped being impatient about it.

    I have trouble with my upper thighs too (don't you hate those girls whose thighs don't touch?), and I've found that while I've never eliminated them completely as a trouble zone, lengthening exercises like those in pIlates, dance and yoga help even out the area with the rest of my leg!

    It's hard to be patient when it's the most unattractive part of my body, ya know? The other things don't bug me so much, cuz they are getting smaller. My lower part of my thighs got smaller, but the upper part? They hate me as much as the scale hates me right now.

    Well, you can't really "spot reduce fat." I have an odd question, but are you by any chance knocked-kneed? Basically, when you stand with your knees together, do your feet not touch?

    I ask, because I'm knocked kneed and my doctor said that no matter how skinny my thighs are, they will ALWAYS rub together.

    YES YES YES ... I'm knocked kneed and my thighs always rub together .... spandex tights work for me. I can't workout in anything else.
  • Runners gel= $8 can get at any sports store or running store.

    goes great on inner thighs (or feet, bra strap line,etc). prevents chaffing. If you don't have the money to go buy 5 new pairs of capris it might hold you over a bit.

    I wear pants. My upper thighs are so fat they sweat from all the friction... NOT the most attractive look to walk around looking like you've had an accident.:frown: My only hope is that they notice the rest of me is also dripping with sweat and that I don't smell like urine. Buying new pants that don't show sweat for xmas...

    Hope that makes you feel better!
