I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

Hey, I was wondering if there are any leg work-outs I can do to lose mass around my upper leg area. I have a bike and I go bike riding, I walk a lot but I'm usually in the house during the summer. Don't suggest walking or jogging because I don't like to do that kind of stuff alone and a lot of my friends are busy this summer. I have a pool, so if you know of any good exercises I can do in the pool that would help me lose a lot of the weight in that area by the time school starts, that'd be great. Thanks : ) (link)

I have actually asked a similar question to my physiotherapist before and they advised me that the best way you can burn fat from the thighs to do squats.
You stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart, feet flat on the ground and then bend your knees towards the ground, holding your back up straight. The first time you do this, you might want to make sure there is something to support you, as it can be hard to balance.
There are different ways to perform this exercise but I would recommend doing a mixture of both. It also worth bearing in mind squats are most effective when they are a part of an aerobic or other cardiovascular workout.
You can bend your knees until you are quite low and hold for 20 seconds (you may need to build up to this if you are not used to it). Then repeat as often as you feel comfortable. Do NOT keep doing it once it starts to hurt.
You can also do 'pumps'. Basically, these are squats but you start off in the legs bent and bum low to the grnd position and then do small, repetitive but quick pumps. Straighten your knees slightly and then bend again, straighten slightly, bend again and so on. I would recommend you build up to around 25 of these but be warned, they can be very hard to do and if you aren't used to it, it will hurt the next day.
However, as I understand it, these are the best exercises for burning fat on thighs.
