Losing weight and inches from my thighs

Just keep at it. Your body will remove the weight in different areas first, and your thighs may be the last, unfortunately. We are all different in this regard. There's no way to "spot remove" fat from your thighs but to continue your efforts and it will happen eventually.

Jenny I am exactly where you are. And sadly enough, the only thing that seems to be working (finally lost 0.25 inch on those big bad boys) is weight loss. All the cardio and strength training in the world hasn't done a thing. Unfortunately, it makes the top half of me start to look anorexic. Hopefully it will even out. I wish you success!

you can tone them of course but you cant choose where you loose - take comfort that its the healthiest place to carry any extra weight and that you will live longer than those with weight higher up !!!

I've been sticking to my diet quite successfully and doing cardio training 5 times a week and strength training about 4 times a week and have toned and lost weight off my face, waist, arms and tummy. Hurrah! But I'm not seeing any difference in my very sizeable thighs! Any particular exercise or diet advice to help me with my thunder thighs?

I have the same problem. I'm in the middle range of healthy weight right now but still not happy with my thighs. I've recently started C25K and hope it will help. I'm also working on upper body strength hoping the fat will "redistribute". I'm also doing pilates a couple of times a week with hope that it will tone those hard to tone areas.

Actually I have a friend that had a tiny waste, and upper body but her hips and thighs looked like they belonged on someone else and that someone else was huge. She ran 5 miles every morning and lifted weights every other day and her body stayed the same until she started training for a marathon. She hired a trainer and within a few months, her body shape changed dramatically. He changed her diet and her workout routine. So you may want to consult a trainer. I know she did a LOT of squats and leg lifts but she's pretty close mouthed about her work out. Not a sharing kinda gal, lol!!! She says if we want to know what to do, hire her trainer! But she did prove you can target shape areas. What you can't do is target lose. Weight comes off where it will.
