Right now at 144 I am happy with the way most of my body looks, except my thighs. Does anyone else have this problem or have any tips on helping this problem area.

    Definitely weight workouts targeting the various thigh muscles...squats, lunges, leg press, hamstring curls, leg raises,etc. If you're not doing these already, it could take a couple of months to see good results. Add running/biking and you're golden! :)

    just remember you can't really spot train... do a full body work out with a few extra leg workouts and you'll be golden!! (I have the same problem! booooo)

    I have the same problem...and I do tons of lunges and squats. My legs are muscular and big. I think it comes down to losing more weight if I want them to be smaller. )

    Not really. Size is about calories in and out and exercise. Body shape is genetic. If you store fat on your thighs, that isn't going to go away until you have lost it everywhere else.

    Agreed. Did 3 sets of 8 reps yesterday (each leg) holding a 35 lb. barbell plate with one foot resting on the workout bench. Killer leg workout. Love it!
