    Hiya,

    I'm new to this myself! I train between 2-3 times a week at the gym. My down side is eating the same as my hubby to be.

    How are you finding this app? Is it helping.

    :-)

    You can't control where you lose weight, so if you want smaller thighs, you have to aim for overall weight loss and basically hope some of it comes off your thighs. Toning the muscles in your thighs will help them look better.

    Losing 2 stone and dropping down to about 100 pounds is not healthy. You really should seek some help about your body image and some education on what is healthy and what isn't. Instead of trying to lose weight, I think you should focus on toning the muscles of your body. You will never look like a man, no matter how many hours you crunch at the gym, I promise.

    Eat on calories deficit aiming 1lb a week at start, than 0.5

    Exercise with weights 3 times a week

    Eat protein like 30%

    That's it...

    I was over weight and tried so many things. Different things work for different people and I was lucky enough to find one that worked for me. I lost 18 pounds in one month without much exercise and it's been a life changer. I'm a little embarrased to post my before and after photos here but if anyone actually cares to hear what I've been doing then I'd be happy to help in any way. Just shoot me an email at secretosdelara@gmail.com and I'll show you my before and after photos, and tell you about how things are going for me with the stuff I've tried. I wish someone would have helped me out when I was struggling to find a solution so if I can help you then it would make my day

    Your attempting to put your body mass index to low. According to the charts a 5'4 woman needs to weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. Unfortunately, you are going for too thin.

    So you're 5'4", 128 lb., and want to lose 28 lbs. (2 stone) for your wedding? A healthy weight for your height is 110–140 lbs., so you should lose no more than 18 lbs. (1 stone, 4 lbs.).

    Vanity pounds come off very, very slowly. Set your goal to .5 lb. per week, and be patient! Log everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly.
