    Calorie restriction and heavy *kitten* to grass squats, walking lunges, barbell step ups, kettlebell swings and deadlifts helped me get my legs in shape :)

    Thanks for that! I am pretty much your original shape now and am glad to see that I what I want to achieve is realistic :)

    This is my biggest problem area. I have accepted that my hips/thighs will always be bigger.

    Bumping this up for some more responses/inspiration. Recommitting myself in the new year to lose another 20-30 lbs. Working on my lower half like crazy!

    BUMP!

    My thighs are the worst part of my body. I don't know what to do about them. When I lost 6 pounds I only lost 1 inch total from them!

    No pics, but:

    - Plyo, which I can't do anymore because it broke my feet

    - Running, which I can't do anymore because it contributed to breaking my feet

    - Martial arts, which I might have been able to keep doing had I not broken my feet.

    The martial arts involved one hour of conditioning - HUNDREDS of kicks, pushups, crunches, punches - before each actual class (also 1 hr), twice a week. Best shape of my life.

    I am really happy to see non jumpy options here :)

    NB: and the thing is - running's often advised for bottom heavy women to slim legs. It's very probable that our wide hips make us the worst for it. Better to look for other alternatives.

    All this talk about lunges and squats - someone told me (a long time ago) that those things will make my thighs bigger. Hard to let a concept go after it's been ingrained a while. How is it that people build muscle through weight lifting but lose inches from lunges? Bottom line - does it actually work for you ladies? Has anyone's thighs gotten less satisfactory from lunges/squats?

    funny enough back in may i posted in this thread.. since then i've lost 4 more inches from my thighs and am now in 5 sizes smaller than where i first started. i also gained 5 pounds since i last posted in this thread too. i normally would have been sad about the weight increase, but considering i'm 5 pounds heavier but 4 sizes smaller i'm not too concerned

    i mainly lost those thigh inches in my inner thigh area. some women have outer thigh saddlebags, well they were reversed on me.:laugh:


    in any case, i pretty much slacked off on the cardio since i last posted so my main workouts were weightlifting (strong lifts and olympic lifts). but i just wanted to say that people dont build muscle solely from weight lifting. it takes a lot of time and effort to build muscle. in order to do that you have to be eating more than your maintenance (which means you'll also gain some fat as well as muscle) and progressively challenge your muscles.

    anyone who gains size with weight training either taking steroids or eating more calories than they are burning

    Fat loss comes where fat loss comes. There is no such thing as "spot reduction". That being said, by working body parts, you will see additional definition and muscle development in the areas that are being worked. It is common for many women to gain first in the hips and thighs (actually this is a good thing from a heart healthy standpoint)... However, it also means it is likely the last place for fat to leave from. Keep working and you will get there. Honestly the WORST thing you can do is to stop now. Keep at it. Eventually, the body will have nowhere else to pull fat stores from but the hips and thighs... Then you will have achieved what you are looking for. You can do this. Best wishes on attaining your goal.

    I'm 5"2 and started losing weight to begin with because people would often joke about my big thighs. One guy I was seeing re-named them to 'jiggly' and another friend I had called them thunder thighs.

    Anyway, it's a part of me that I'll ALWAYS think is big, and IMO the shape of my hips are wide. But now I'm a size 6 AUS jeans (size 0 American I think?) and it's still an area I'm paranoid about.

    I guess my legs look smaller but still larger compared to the rest of me!
