    all I keep reading is "it's the first place your body stores fat and it is the last place to loose it" so keep on keeping on! But I must say, DAMN girl! way to go and you are BEAUTIFUL! Good luck to you!

    I have the same issue, and all I know is lunges and squats help massively....

    If you want the scientific answer... genetics determines where our fat cells are deposited. So if your body naturally wants to store fat in your thighs, then there it goes. Reducing your overall bodyfat reduces fat cell SIZE, not quantity. You'll still have the same number of fat cells. Nothing you can do through diet and exercise can change where your body is programmed to store fat cells or reduce the quantity of fat cells.

    But, of course, reducing your overall bodyfat percentage will make everything shrink!

    The light weight and high reps thing is true. You could try pilates? It works to make your muscles long and lean not bulky. I know the pilates class I do has a TON of thigh and leg work.
