    The majority of women are pear shaped. Unfortunately the fashion industry looks for hour glass shapes or a straight shape. If genetically you are pear shaped it may not be possible to get to the industry standard. Perhaps you can find a specialty house to work for. An interesting web site on the media and women is http://www.about-face.org/ Please don't harm yourself in the quest to meet their standards.
  • Squats! The best lower body workout you will get. Combine it with a good HIIT programme. Keep the Curves bin the agency, stay healthy. :)

    Really you say you have big butt/thighs and you are a size 2 trying to get to a size 0.... really?.....REALLY?

    When I was 5 foot 6 inches 100 pounds I was a size 4. Any thinner and I probably would have dropped dead.

    i've never had a gym membership

    it's not needed to lift; you can start with body weight exercises
    plyo and weights from used stores like good will and craigs list

    there are always people getting rid of gym equipment for cheap
    or getting rid of their treadmill, ellipital, whatever
    often because they are just moving and it's in good condition still

    you can't change your body shape
    again yes lifting heavy. actually heavy and challenging for YOU.
    you can also work on building the upper body muscles to balance out the body
    so along with bulgarian split squats you should do push ups and other upper body work

    I've already started with body weight exercises and have always done them. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and adding a treadmill or any exercise machine will take up too much space. I run outside. I wasn't trying to change my body shape. The picture still makes we want a gym membership so that I can lift weights.

    I am surprised they told you to lose more in your thighs/butt if you are a size 2. Even by modelling standards that's small enough, i think.
    Could you look into bikini/ underwear type modelling agencies? I think they would not be as adamant about you losing more weight.
    And strength training works. Lift heavy.

    Great advice up there!

    In my experience agencies don't tell you to drop a clothing size. They base things on measurements. I would also suggest looking into different types of modeling. Its very important to do your research and choose the type of modeling you can get the most work in. Go to other open calls and see what they say. Some agencies budge on size if they really like you. If you don't mind me asking. What agency is this?
