mrs sandy r 152 Posted November 21, 2012 I'm losing from the top , not from the waist down. What can I do to lose the fat from my thighs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolanz 1,484 Posted November 21, 2012 Unfortunately there is no way to lose weight from a specific area, only gain muscle. Try different cardio workouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted November 21, 2012 I would tell you to build up your thigh and buttocks muscles with weight training. Seems contrary to logic but those muscles are the largest in the body. Built up, they burn more calories when you use them and at rest. They are your best fat burners. You will not look like steroid plumped bodybuilding women if you don't take steroids. In my experience, the first fat to go on is the last to come off. My lower belly is defiant but doomed to extinction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArcusX 216 Posted November 21, 2012 Thighmaster? Maybe lunges and squats? 1 Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted November 21, 2012 Yep, I concur, spot reduction is not possible. You lose fat typically in the reverse order you gain it, so first in - last out. It's pretty much how you've been programmed genetically. That being said what the posters above have mentioned, good leg exercises like mentioned or even cycling and swimming concentrating on kicks.

SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted November 21, 2012 Some people have lipoedema. google it to see some severe cases. If you have lipoedema, you'll lose some weight off your legs, but you may never have "normal"legs. My sisters and I all have it. One sister is 158 pounds and a size small on top and a size 14 pants. Even my youngest sister who weighs just 120 pounds has fat legs. She was a competitive wrestler in high school and wrestled at 112.... her top was a 00 with every rib showing and her bottom half was a 4... yeah, I know a four is not exactly HUGE, but when you're top is a 00 and you weigh 112 pounds, a four is big. People would sometimes call her Nani because she was built like Nani from Lilo and stitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
