    Unfortunately you can not pick where your body loses weight. My thighs are the last place to go as well. Just keep at it. Maintain a small to moderate calorie deficit. Strength train including the big lifts like squats and deadlifts. Throw in some cardio too. Eventually the fat will start coming off and if you keep at it long enough, it should start coming off your thighs too.

    Eat less. Lift heavy.

    I do a lot of walking and running and stair climbing. I heard that lunges help a lot. I might try doing a set of those everyday!

    Running might help tone them. I know my lower half looks infinitely better every time I start up running again.

    Like someone else said - you can't get rid of fat in particular areas - you just have to lower your overall body fat. Unfortunately wherever it's hardest to lose fat is going to be the last place to go. You're not alone - thighs are a problem area for many women.

    My suggestion is lift heavy, eat clean, and watch your sugar intake. Sugar is a major culprit for retaining unwanted fat!

    Ugh! My nemisis too. You will lose fat wherever your body decides to, it's genetics For me it's upper body first, then finally lower body.

    All you can do is lose weight, exercise, & hope for the best. No guarantees.

    If you like calisthenic type exercises :lunges & squats are good.

    If this sounds boring - barre exercises (think ballet) are very popular right now.

    walk or run/jog on flat surface no hills/incline
    jump rope or jumping jacks in you can

    don't listen to these skinny girls telling you to lift heavy weights...all that's gonna do is build up your quadriceps making them look even bigger. try to lose some of the fat first then lift to tone or whatever.
    Good Luck!
