in Health and Weight Loss
I am going to Disney in March with my man. I recently lost 40 lbs and have been doing well keeping it off. That being said, I now want to lose 2 inches off each thigh, and off my waist/mid-section. I have 5 months to do this, very do-able, but I would like to hear some feedback, and suggestions. I think I am going to get a mini trampoline for the lower-body workout :-)

    You'll get a lot of responses about the inability to spot reduce, but if this exercise you're choosing to do is in addition to your current workouts, it definitely couldn't hurt. =)

    The results people see with 30DS are awesome. You might want to try that.

    I figured that would happen (comments about not being able to spot reduce). I don't care if I lose inches everywhere else, I am just going to be keeping track of my thighs and waist :-)

    It may be hard to find these days, but Winsor's Pilates bun and thigh DVD always works for me. its about 20 minutes, 10 minutes each leg and entirely on the floor. No matter how much weight I gain, I do not have cellulite and I get compliments on my thighs. I've been doing it off and on for about 10 years. I'm 35 and weigh 181 lbs right now and I have 4 year old , but I have the butt and legs of a 19yr that is 125 lbs :)

    Try out some of Jillian Michaels' DVD's. I have done most of them and they are all amazing. I always seem to lose inches with every DVD no matter which one. Her Kick boxing one is really good, I have been doing that for awhile now and lost 2 Inches on each thigh and a few on my waist too!

    30DS is Jillians 30 day shred DVD

    30DS is Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I did the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 last month and lost 2 inches from my waist. I started the 30 Day Shred last week. I have found that the Ripped in 30 is tougher to do than the 30 Day Shred. I have about 5 lbs left to lose but went from a size 14 to size 12 with no weight loss but from doing the DVD's. Hope this helps.

    Lift heavy. I have lost 3 inches of my waist since August, with only about 2 pounds lost during that time! Check out the book "New Rules of Lifting for Women", game changer!
