    Well it takes more than a pound to notice a difference in weight loss (just goin' by what your tickler says). Also, it's not too feasible to spot reduce. Meaning weight falls off the body where it needs to first. Cardio, cardio, and more cardio is your best bet to reduce the fat percentage on your body. Good luck!
  • I know the best way I've lost size in my thighs is using a resistance band and also lots and lots (and lots and lost and lots) of squats.

    Can tone certain areas but can't lose the weight where you want. Body takes care of that.:wink:
  • i've found that using the hip abductor and adductor machine (the ones where you're sitting and opening and closing your legs with the weights.....sounds weird i know haha), squats, and the hamstring curls really help. you just have to train that part of your body to expect muscle and not fat there and hopefully it'll all tone up

    The skinniest I've been in that area (and its my problem area too) is when I've run a lot. The cardio helps burn the overall fat off and the pounding of the concrete is good for toning. At least, that's my 2cents ;)
