Hello! I have lost 40 pounds over the last few years, and now weigh 10st 8 at 5"11. I do intense cardio 4 times a week and weight training on my legs twice a week. I've also started squats every morning. I have about 7pounds to go to my target weight.....but....I just can't shift the fat on my thighs! :s

There is decent muscle tone underneath this layer of fat so I know the weight training is working. My body is looking really out of proportion. So, is there any way I can fight my natural body shape and get rid of my stubborn thighs?!? Any tips would be great!

Xx

    Boxing or kickboxing. Maybe some sprint intervals

    The bad news is you can't change your genetics, and you can't choose where the weight comes off.

    The good news is your thighs probably don't look as bad as you think.

    You want to be 141lbs at 5'11?

    I am betting your issue is body composition..you should be eating at maintenance and following a progressive resistance programme
