    I'm obviously not a short girl :D... But there's lots of ways to lose fat on the legs, Walking-Jogging-Running, Cycling, Step class, swimming... There's plenty more too... Good luck, congrats and keep it up!

    Why the need to be so harsh? She said she lost fifteen pounds! If that's not success, I don't know what is!!!

    I know this might be a strange suggestion but wearing heels helped me tone my legs a lot (I'm 5'1). Just gotta find a comfy pair.

    see same problem.. lol i know what you mean.. Jillian Michaels also has a few other dvds i want to try. I got the 30ds. she also has ripped in 30, no more trouble, yoga meltdown, and another one but i cant remember the name. everyone praises those dvds and i cant wait to try them all.

    Ha well I'm 5"4 and the leg jiggle is being the LAST to go...along with the last bit of stomach (but that seems to be expected). I do Zumba (it's amazingly fun!). It's really high cardio but even if you're not a good dancer you can bring a friend and laugh with each other as you mess up together. Awesome workout :)

    Hi I am 4'9 and short legs big thighs are one of my better features...lol. Congrats on your weight loss. I think the scissors are one of the best for thighs. If you can in the pool is awesome. Do scissors on floor, bed...watching tv...etc. lay down and criss cross legs!!! gl
    I have been up to 225 and down to 140 years ago. I am 171 now and am aiming for 125.
