I want to lose weight but only in my thighs. The rest of my body is perfect, but my thighs are rly big. How can i get them to a small size without making the rest of my body rly small and without having to go through surgery?

do this thigh exercise. lean against the wall with feet away from the wall for about 12 inches or so (futher if you are taller), slide your body downwards, bending the knees, making a 90 degree bent between the thighs and lower legs.  hold this composure for a few mins.  great thighs work-out and is do-able anywhere where there are walls.

There is no way you can target weight loss to any one part of the body - it's simply impossible.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or trying to sell you something.\n\nThe only way to lose weight is to burn up more calories than you eat.  It's that simple.  Water is good for you and it has no calories, but it doesn't reduce fat, regardless of what temperature it is.

Do you mean enlarge your "thighs"?  If  you want larger legs I suggest you go to the gym.  The best leg workout you can get is  squats.  Leg press machine works well too on your thighs, but doesn't do much for your butt.

To make your backside smaller, you're going to need to lose weight if you're overweight. If you're not overweight, try toning exercises for your buttocks. Do leg lifts and variations of leg lifts. Just tightening up your buttocks during the day should help somewhat.

Forget about spot reducing a certain body part.  It doesn’t work.  A body part is too big because that is part of your body where you tend to store excess body fat.  Resistance exercising will not decrease fat in an area … it will only build the muscle that sits under the fat.  It is totally impossible to change fat into muscle.  They are two separate tissues.\n\nIf you want to make a body part smaller then you have to decrease the amount of body fat stored at that area.  To decrease body fat you need to do two things.  One: change your diet; eating a healthier diet so that the amount of calories you take in each day is less than the amount of calories you burn each day during activities.   And two:  increase the amount of calories you are burning each day by increasing your cardiovascular exercise.  Also, doing weight training exercises will help you build some muscle mass, which will help increase your resting metabolic rate, so you will burn more calories on a daily basis.

Congratulations on making ther decision to do something about your health and fitness!  Th best way to tone and get a smaller butt and thighs is through diet and cardio.  If you would like to know more about losing weight feel free to email me or go to my group page, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bewellforlife.  Dedicating time 2 to 3 times a week to cardio will definitely give you smaller thighs.  To tone your butt, you should get on your hands and knees, clench in your abdomen, lift your left leg (with the knee still bent) and clench your buttocks.  Do this at least 25 times with both legs.  You could also do squats holding weights in your hands.  Trust me these things work because they are working for me.  Good luck in your quest to be well and healthy!

You can't target just inner thighs, these exercises will target the entire leg.  Use compound movements:\n\nSquats, Lunges, Step-ups, bulgarian squats, .......\n\nLift heavy with low reps--start off slow --learn how to do these effectively

Trust me you cant' lose all of your body fat... as much as I hate knowing that it is the sad truth.... You have to have some "body fat" for all of your vital organs and things to perform properly - \n\nbut with that said - to lose body fat you have to work out and burn more calories than you take in.

A good friend of mine had the same thing.  Tiny waist, a relatively bigger mid-section. \n\nBasically, you have burn more calories than you take in, increase your metabolism, and most importantly, set realistic goals.   Don't do any quick fix diets or diet pills -- They actually hurt your body more than help. \n\nShe did the "Body for Life" program for 4 months and lost 32 pounds and is back to her best days...  Read the book -- I think you should be able to get it at a local library or any bookstore.  It's by Bill Phillips.. \n\nIf you do end up doing it, do it with someone who lives with you or a close friend -- That keeps you motivated and in check -- and would make you feel guilty, if you slip up.  \n\nGood Luck!

Wow- you are tiny- are you sure you want to lose more weight? I would suggest working out- lots of weight machines will help you tone these areas. For your stomach, use a Roman chair- it works wonders.

Don't cut down on anything but fat. If your legs are getting more muscular, great - bring it on. Muscles burn calories just because it takes calories for a muscle to exist. Even resting, you burn more calories if you have more muscle mass. Keep working out. Don't cut your protein or carbs. I would change what TYPE of carbs and protein you are getting. Go with natural sources, fresh food. It tastes better anyway.

it depends on how you are built. everybodys diffrent. if you are a size 6, then i dont see anything wrong with you.  if you want to lose a few pounds, then just cut out sugar and some carbs, but if you are happy with your weight and size , then don;'t change a thing.

Sounds a little erotic just reading your post! Definately start at the shoulders and neck with "butterfly" kisses and work your way down towards the buttocks and thighs. Inner thighs are a must!!!!!

I like the ThighTek XL by Denise Austin. It's like a thighmaster. Do the excercise on it for inner thighs. You just squeeze it together. It's fairly cheap too. Maybe look for it on Ebay, but here is a link for it. I got mine at the store some time ago, so you might still be able to find it in stores.

1) Exercise. like yoga or swimming or biking. etc.\n2) Lie down, and move your leg in circular motions like you are on a bike. So, this way you dont' actually have to exercise and bike outside. and you dont have to buy a bike. =D\n3) in the morning, squat down and shoot up. and repeat teh exercise very fast. It helps tighten the thighs and the butt. \nGOOD LUCK!

I think if  you just squeeze the cheeks a few times for a long time until you feel a burn, that may be the easiest way to go, but don't take my word for it. I've never done it. I believe squats are a fabulous way to get nice buns and thighs.
