Hello! Question: how do you get rid of fat knees? Is it even possible? I would love to wear skirts w/o feeling self conscious.

If you get an answer, I'd like to hear it. :ohwell:
Seriously, you can't lose fat in specific spots. Our bodies just don't work like that. You'll just have to keep at it and you'll eventually lose the fat there, too.0 -
I've always hated my knees. They looked too big compared to the rest of my legs. A funny thing has happened. First, I lost over 50 pounds. Then I exercised 6 days a week and included strength training. My knees don't look huge anymore. I don't even notice them!0

It's genetic. You'll have to get your body fat down to notice more "knee".

ninerbuff has it right, body fat is a biggie.
But, I have read a post or two of women who just cannot get that part to go down (hey, we all have a hang up, mine is my entire body, starting with my chin fat).
So, here are the options!
1 The natural way by cutting as much body fat as possible ;
2 Getting used to it and learning to love your knees and their quirks and thanking God they still move;
3 You can try nonevasive fat freezing that works like lipo minus the incisions and track marks it can leave.
I still have fat *everywhere* so I cannot feel your pain. I like options 1 and 2, but if you're open to cosmetic surgery, 3 is there for you. Also, 3 is the only option for "spot fat reduction".

Good Luck!

I hear it works like a charm, and painless with no recovery time. I so would.0 -

Thanks, everyone! My mom has them, too, so it's definitely genetic. People probably don't notice them the way I do, lol.
I'd definitely consider non-invasive lipo...down the road. You know, when the technology gets better.0
