I wouldn't agree with that. I've ALWAYS had huge hips and thighs (one of those bottom heavy people)... I started out at 189... and currently I'm around 155. I still have pretty big legs, but they didn't get bigger.
I run a lot now. It's my main source of exercise actually... I would encourage you to do more of a light jog for a while rather than sprinting while you run. Sprinting builds muscles... while light jogs over a period of time burns fat. Though you can build muscle still while doing that, your legs shouldn't dramatically increase. My thighs have actually shrunk because I can fit into some pants that were too tight on my thighs before.
I hope this information is a little more motivating to hear. If you'd like to see my before/after pictures I'd be happy to show you0 -
I feel ya!! For my height and frame, my thighs and hips are larger than I feel they should be. Always the last places I lose weight0

I've read that stuff like Pilates elongates your muscles. But if your thighs are a lot of fat, doing leg exercises can make your legs more muscle than fat so they will look smaller!0
