Thigh and hips fat how to loose?

Congrats on your weight loss! Unfortunately, there is no way to spot reduce fat from certain body parts. Your body will lose fat as it sees fit while you lose weight. Just keep up your good work and, eventually, you will see results in your thighs and hips as well.

Eating less, moving more plus time. That said you sound like you aren't overweight so perhaps it's time to eat more and lift weights and dial back the cardio if it is a matter of getting the shape you want.

Awesome job!! The only way to get that off is to keep going. There is no such thing as spot loss or hitting a particular area. Fat comes off based on genetics, etc. Unfortunately for women it more often than not comes off the hips and thighs last. Guts and love handles for us guys. Not always but more often than not. Just keep at it and you will lose it over time.

You can't spot reduce...you just have to keep cutting...genetics has a lot to do with where you will lose fat first and last...generally speaking, primary fat stores come off last...for men, that's usually the gut...it sometimes is for women as well, but for women primary fat stores is often the hips, thighs, and glutes...first on, last off.

There's no way to "spot reduce" fat, BUT you can incorporate heavy lifting in order to keep muscle mass while you are cutting calories and dropping the weight. If you focus on low-calorie diet + cardio, you tend to lose a lot of muscle mass in the process. Incorporate lifting and you can maintain some of what you already have, then in the long-run the appearance of cellulite will reduce and any loose skin will be less likely to appear since you are keeping a strong, firm base for your body. Squats, deadlifts, leg press, hip thrusts, etc. are all great ways to improve the look of legs.

Me too. Squats and running help.

Depending on whether or not you're already considered a healthy weight for your height, you may want to continue cutting while adding in strength training or do a body re-composition. As others have said, you can't spot reduce when it comes to fat. The body loses where it wants. You *can* change your aesthetics however by incorporating a progressive lifting program into your routine. Look into Strong Curves or Stronglifts 5x5. Both are good beginner programs for weight lifting.

This is the longest sentence ever.

....its for cardio, will be out of breath at the end. I try to read at least 30 unpunctuated forum posts a day to stay in good shape.
