junk in the trunk...

Just feel like venting. I've lost more than 40lbs and I swear it is all coming from above my waist. No matter what I do I feel like I just can't make a dent in my thighs or butt! I know eventually it will happen but it's maddening.

    do more deadlifts, squats, and hip raises.

    I have lost almost 30 and I didn't lose much from thighs at all until the last 10 pounds. Unfortunately we have no control over where our body loses first (or last). Keep at it and eventually you'll get smaller all over!

    Obligatory picture request joke (kind-of) for any thread called "junk in the trunk."

    I have the same problem. I've lost 90 now and don't have much left to lose up top. But there's plenty in my hips, butt & thighs still left to go! I'm hoping this last 25 comes directly off from there!

    Spinning will help this!

    I had a friend once that used to joke with me that the fat that holds on the most has been with us the longest. It is super frustrating, but I know it is possible. Good Luck!
