Depends a lot on what your body shape is like - your thighs will EVENTUALLY reduce when you get to low enough bodyfat, but if you carry a lot of weight on your thighs then it may be the very LAST thing to go. If you are that type then lifting is almost the ONLY way to get them looking lean, but it will be the last bit to happen.

Check out Amber's pictures here - she's a bit broader shouldered than most women, but she definitely carries the last of her fat in her legs. http://gokaleo.com/?p=666

Are her thighs ultra slim? No - but they look a heck of a lot better in the after picture than in the before, even though she is the EXACT same weight.

Unfortunately, your genetics determine a lot about how your body will look. Lifting will get you the best body YOU can have, but you may never have thighs as slim as someone else's, or a visible abs, etc.

You won't know til you give it time and - 2 months isn't time. Body sculpting is slow slow slooooooow. Slow. Sorry. I really hope you both come to love lifting the way I do, because if you want the physical changes you're in it for the long haul.

I'm a pear shape. My upper body is cutting nicely with SL AND my legs look a lot more toned, especially in the above-knee and calf area.

Women will often lose lower body fat last, for a variety of reqsons. As tameko said, some of that is body type. Also, nature wants us to have thigh/hip fat. It's there to prepare for possible pregnancy, and I read somewhere (cant find where but happy to trymto google it if you want) when a female is pregnant, her body calls upon the stores of fat in her leg/female areas to fuel her changing body. Biology wants us to hold onto that, regardless of our own conception plans

At some point, your body can no longer utilize fat innthe upper body for fuel. For some women, their boobs might even go a lot. (Sad!) then it finally turns to,our hip, thigh, lower tum fat for fuel.

SL or other lifting programs can help the legs look tighter, even if they aren't smaller right away.

For me as a pear, I opt to do heavy squats only every 3rd workout. My other two are lighter. But please don't take that as a modification recommendation i do it to cut down on bloat & fluid retention post lifting.

Good luck!

Wanted to tell you I measured today, and since starting SL in mid December, each upper thigh is down a half inch

There is hope!

My body looks very similar to that Kaleo girl I have fat in my arms and thighs that I'd like to get rid of. Thanks for the links and ideas. Unfortunately as I've been losing weight I've lost the most in my boobs! When I lost 1/2 an inch everywhere else, I lost 3-4 inches in my boobs.
