I currently have

33 Inch Waist
40 inch Hips
23 inch thighs?

I would like to lose 5 off waist, 3 off hips and 3 of thighs?

My current workout routine:

30 Minute Boxing Class
10km Endurance Run
30 minute elliptical
+
Weight traning

I usually do this 5 times a week and variate the elliptical to cycling and on fridays I will usually do a 20km run. So 2 hours of cardio per day, 5 times a week.

I'd say i'm mostly straight up and down but also a bit pear as most of my weight goes to my thighs and stomach. I'm 6ft so I think being tall makes me look straight up and down.

In your experience how long would this usually take?

    No one can answer this! Everyone loses fat at different places, at different times, and you can't spot reduce.

    This. Sorry, OP. The fat falls off where itv wants to and when it wants to.

    I've lost only two inches off my hips and one inch off my thighs in about 100 days. Seven off my abdomen. It's slow, but it's progress!

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict any type of weight loss and predicting loss of inches is even tougher.

    Keep up doing whet you're doing and I'm sure you will see the results you want to see!

    What they all said plus

    Are you eating at a defecit?

    And be aware the weight will come off where it comes off...your bust, arms, neck, calves etc ...not just where you want it

    Your weight training should be progressively heavier and heavier and ideally built around compound lifts

    I've lost 24 pounds and only an inch on my waist. Some people lose inches faster than weight. I'm the other way around but I tend to gain weight uniformly and that's the way it's coming off, except for my bra size. That sure decreased quickly. Haha.

    Agree that it's really an unpredictable thing but I have lost 19 pounds since January 5th and 1 1/2 inches from my waist. I am an absolute pear shape so I've lost more inches on top that in the waist if that helps.

    6'
    33"
    40"
    23"

    You sound slim, you may not be able to lose the inches you want. Are you sure you have that much fat left on your stomach hips and thighs?

    So you need to lose about 3 clothing sizes. I think it will take about 6 weeks to drop two clothing sizes with your current exercise program...the last inch will likely that take a bit longer.
