Any suggestions out there for how a pear shape can lose the weigh in buttock and thighs. Have lost 15lbs so far but none of it seems to be in the areas that I need to lose.

    You can't control where you lose fat from. We are all programmed to carry & lose it differently. The only thing you can do it keep losing weight and/or reducing your body fat percentage until you are satisfied.

    Strength training will help with this - a lot.

    Hey there. We have so much in common. I only used fad diets to lose weight, and trust me the weight came back so fast! So I was convinced that the only way to lose weight is exercise and reduce my calorie intake. They say pear-shaped bodies make it so hard to lose weight. That is what they say. "Genetics" and so. But I am only 16.3 years so maybe I have a chance to be fit. Man, I already have cellulite. But I'm working on it. I am Egyptian, so it sure is very hard to maintain weight here. Fast food including pizza and Mc Donald's are everywhere. But I will do this! I'm sick of all the "peer pressure" at school too. I need a fit bottom.

    I also have a question. Would Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation work?
