Fat Thighs!!!!
I am 15/f and I weigh around 140lbs and i am 5'7'' or maybe bit taller.
I am pretty average around everywhere else BUT my thighs...
I have noticed I have these HUGE thighs when I was trying on this swim suit.
I've read some stuff about how to tone down my legs and all that like do yoga, do pilate, or dance. And some articles said I cant get rid of thigh fats what so ever because that's just in my gene or whatever.
So what is to believe? and I dont think the whole yoga and pilate is working for me because I've been doing those and dancing and cardio for over a year and I seem to lose weight on everywhere else but my thigh.
So can someone help Please???
Thank you in advance!!!

I have big thighs too. At age 16 I was visiting with my father and my aunt. My aunt is very athletic, and yet she has big thighs. My mom is in great shape, and has big thighs. So, I get it from both sides of my family. Do the women in your family have big thighs? I bet they do.
I walk a lot. Always have. My thighs are still big. I took karate for a while. I was in great shape then, but still had big thighs. Even when I weighed a meager 105 (I was a stick!) I had big thighs. There is very little that can be done about it.
On the plus side, you are the only one who is going to notice. Your weight is wonderful for your height. I am guessing that your thighs will appear to others as pleasant curves. Mine always have, despite my personal issues with them.
If you are like me, you probably get uncomfortable when walking a lot in a skirt. That is easy to fix. Just wear shorts or pantyhose under the skirt.
Other than that, don't worry about it. Wear clothing that flatters your figure. If you are concerned about swimsuits, get one that has a skirty bottom. I find those to be pretty flattering. Also, to draw attention away from the thighs, wear something that accentuates your bust. It works for me!

While it is true that you cannot "spot reduce" fat, (Darn it!) you can lengthen muscle with pilates to a point. Thighs contain one of the biggest muscle areas, your quads. Working out could actually increase muscle mass here and make them appear larger due to increased muscle. Your height/weight ratio is actually pretty slender, so be grateful for those genes. Hopefully you won't obsess on this one area of your body too much. Women are made curvy and that is a good thing. However, clothing can make a difference, too. Avoid slender fit jeans, pencil skirts, anything that clings to or is tight in your thigh area. Most likely your thighs only appear huge to you. Increase your muscle in your calves if you want to create a more proportional appearance.
