    There is no such thing as spot reducing. You can work that area out all you want but that doesn't mean it will shave inches off. Calorie deficit, working out doing cardio and weights, and drink lots of water.



    Exactly!!!! You can't pick where the fat comes from. However, that is over a mth so you will see changes in your weight and maybe a few inches off. Have fun on your trip!

    My thighs have lost almost an inch in the last month from the elliptical/crosstrainer. I set it really high and steep and go for a difficult hike.

    Lots of squats and cardio. Cut back on calories especially any foods with fat.

    Dietary fat doesn't make you fat. If you are trying to cut size fast you could avoid carbs.....you'll lose all water weight....but it's still weight..

    if you go to a gym and they have a cross ramp (similiar to an elliptical) use that!
    I've used it a couple of times and it's amazing!

    Definitely the squats and cardio. In addition to 70+ logged miles of walking/running, I just did a month long squat challenge (3,000 squats total for the month of September) and I lost more than an inch off of my thighs...

    Start today and don't stop. :drinker:

    if you are gonna do squats keep the weight light 20-30 reps.. do the elliptical trainer on a high level , you will need to feel the burn.. stay away from sugars and salts , have protien and oils in your diet as well..

    If you take an exercise ball between your knees and squeeze, do as many reps as you can and try to up them. it really helps with inner thighs! Ive also noticed huge improvement with Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred.

    Try a high protein (fish, chicken, eggs) low carb diet for the next 5 weeks! It curbs your appetite and you can drop weight pretty quick.
    Yep and I second the lunges/squats...of all kinds!

    Very, very true. I hope you reach your goal for your cruise, but I also hope your stay motivated to keep working at health and fitness.

    Enjoy your cruise! We just booked our first every cruise for my husband's 40th birthday next spring. I have 7 months to keep working towards my goals, but better yet, that will mean I've stuck to my lifestyle changes for 14 months (when we leave for the cruise) and to me THAT is very, very exciting.
