    I bet you notice it waaaaaay more than anyone else! Are you retaining water? Try drinking lots and cutting back on salt if you aren't already. If it is genuinely a layer of fat (and judging by your profile picture you are far from being fat!) the the best I find is cardio, particularly running, combined with abdominal exercises like planks and crunches. Especially the planks... Good luck!

    LOL.. thanks.. but it's the angle of the pic that is decieving... <- did i spell that right? .. anyway... i do try and jog every day.. i dont run because my shins kill me.. but i try and do at least 2 miles everyday and i try and throw in some stairs at the stadium when i have the time.. i've been doing it for a couple of months now and i've seen NO change.. not even in my clothes. If anything my pants got tighter in the thigh area.. what's up with that!?! LOL

    Which ones are planks??

    You have to push yourself with the cardio, make it faster or harder or longer, if you just keep doing the same exact thing your body gets used to it so switch it up. Keep your body guessing!

    Sadly you can't spot lose. I wish you could. The best you can do is tons of cardio - your body will burn everywhere, with more coming from places that have higher concentrations of fat.
