That is just your body shape by genetics. Be happy it is not the opposite. You can slim down BUT your lower-half will still be larger and there is NOTHING wrong with that.

Your height and weight sound great - assuming that you're an active person who eats well. Weight alone often doesn't say enough!\nIf you're a smoker, then stop. The nasty chemicals in cigarettes have been known to mess with women's fat tissue.\nEat a lot of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains (not white rice or white flour), and lean meats. Don't let yourself get hungry, eat small meals, or your metabolism will stay slow.\nDo cardio to burn fat - hike, jog, swim, jump rope.\nThen to attack the abs themselves, the best exercise I've ever tried is to lie on your back with your hands under your butt (to allow your lower back to rest on the ground). Then, with your head slightly raised, lift your legs up in the air until they're at 90 degrees to your body - then bend them into your chest. Slowly lift your legs up again and lower then onto the ground until you're lying flat again. The trick is to have slow, controlled movement. Start with 5 reps of 5, then build up to 5 reps of 8, etc.\nGood luck!

I think we have the same body type and I have asked personal trainers about this before...go to mypyramid.gov to see what portions of food you should be eating daily.  As far as exercise, try jogging, walking, as well as pilates.  I have a pilates workout video for the legs and I noticed a difference after using it!!  On the bright side, it sounds like you are a "pear shape" as opposed to an "apple shape".  Pear shapes are better because the fat is further away from your heart!

Well, besides the obvious diet/exercise response, there is an exercise that you can do. Slightly tilt your head back, open and close your mouth but try to protrude your jaw over your top teeth as you close. You should feel the muscles in your double chin tensing up. Do it repeatedly and that should strengthen the muscles and make them "appear" slimmer.\n\nThe further back your head goes the tighter the muscles should pull.\n\nAlso, you could opt for the lipo in the chin.

Do some toning exercises like stomach crunches.  Hope this helps.

Why don't you try doing squats or roller blading to tone up your bottom half?  Also, it could be that your butt and thighs are hereditary, so there may not be much you can do about it except tone them up.  I used to think I had the same problem but I came to grips with the fact that I was just built this way, so why stress?

It sounds like you want to tone those areas up.  A weightlifting regimen + cardio program will give you the best results.

When you exercise, it seems like it's coming off slow, then suddenly, really fast. Keep doing that, and don't take diet pills. You'll feel better about it in the long run. You will look better, too, if you are toned. There are flabby thin people.

Some people just don't have flat bellies. Don't fret over it too much. Do what you're doing. If you are still overweight, then exercise more. If you're not overweight, but still have a belly, chill out.

We dont know if your overweight or you just have some flab. L O L. A little...bit to grab when sitting\nor bending over is normal, we all have a bit.\nGood ol" sit-ups, jogging and stretching type exercises\nwill be the best if your in a hurry, along with a\nwell balanced diet with lots of fruits and weggies.\nDoing exercise routinely for 45 minuites a day,\nspilt in 2 sessions. I bet you see results in 2-3\nweeks.

Do cardiovascular exercise (aerobics, treadmill, jogging, bicycling, etc.).\nNo matter what, it will help your body.  As a side benefit, it will burn any fat you may have.\n\n\nHmmm...I just looked at your profile image.  Are you black (aka African American)?  If so, you may be referring to the size of your rear end.  Black females typically have enlarged rears, and there is little to nothing they can do about it.  The good thing is that black men seem to LOVE the larger rear (as evidence from all the black men I know, songs on the radio (Baby Got Back), dancers in videos, etc.).  In that case, still do the aerobic activity listed above.  This will give you the perfect hour-glass figure that will drive men CRAZY!

That is a very stubborn area for fat loss! Here is something I made up, but seemed to work...Try holding two dumbells (arms bended in a perpendicular position AND legs apart alightly farther than the shoulders in standing position) and twisting just the waist w/ the dumbells held in Barbie-doll position. Turn from side to side up in repetitions of 50. Do not swing side to side or else you may harm yourself. This exercise will also help help bicep endurance. \n\nTry boxing, that will definitely lean the trunk of your body.

At that height it doesn't sound like you need to lose weight. Especially not 10 to 15 pounds. I think the thing you may want to do is tone up.

Ask someone with armpit fat if you can ride on theirs, I suppose? ;)\n\nStrapless dresses tend to do that, you don't have to have much fat there for that to happen. I suggest wearing a different style of dress.\n\nYou can't decrease fat in a certain area by doing specific exercises. The only way to lose weight in a certain area is to lose weight in general.

I agree with Garfield as well. You might want to visit your doctor or a nutritionist to get them to measure your body fat percentage. This could help by putting some more things into persepctive for you. Centrally though, cardio should be your best friend. Walk as oftne as possible. If you like riding a bike, go for it. A really great way to keep your metabolism going is to go for a nise, SLOW stroll after dinner. It really helps you digest your food. Another really great way to burn fat is to weight train with low weights and high reps. I like to put a really small amount of weight on the rack and do a good 50+ reps because it aids in adding lean muscle mass to your body, which can also boost your metabolism and help you burn fat even when you're resting. You'll want to vary your routine as often as possible to keep your wits about you (wouldn't want to bore yourself to death while trying to accomplish something), and tell a few friends and family members what you're doing... They'll be a quasi-silent support group because you'll be forced to do well on account of the thought that they will be watching your every move to see if you're doing what you should be. When you reach an ideal body composition, you might actually want to keep checking on your weight and measurements weekly so you can keep yourself in check. Keep your head up and good luck!

first off, how much do u weigh and what is your height?\nif you are overweight or if u are plump but of healthy weight, then u could try doing cardio everday (brisk walking or jogging) for about 30-40mins and sensible eating. If u are slim or once you have reached the weight/size u're happy with, then start working with weights for your whole body (spot reducing is a myth) to tone up. i've been told that working with weights while still plump or overweight will only add bulk. In my case, its my thighs i hate. So try focus on losing a little weight before u hit the gym.
