I'm 5"1 female and I used to be around 87 pounds, but I put on about 8 pounds. I'm 95 pounds now, and the weight did NOT distribute all over my body.......it all went down directly to my thighs and it looks awful. The rest of my body is really skinny, yet I still have fat legs (my legs used to be long and thin......). I can't even wear my shorts anymore because it looks so gross.
What can I do about it? Exercising wouldn't do much.........the muscle would just take the place of the fat, and my legs would still look huge.

Ok, every human has a different way of distributing fat throughout their bodies, and from reading your story, it is your thighs. One thing to remember is that if you excersize and burn the fat around your thighs.. you'll define the musule in that region..it won't look the same as if it was fat. Running is one of the best cardiovascular excersizes to burn fat, so I would probably suggest running. Plus, with running, your legs will be worked alot, and overall, you'll really define your legs to get the toned but thin legs you want. As far as I can say that would probably be one of the best things for you to do. Wish you lots of luck =] ]
What makes you think muscle will just take the place of fat if you exercise.
if you run, you will gain more leg muscle, but you will lose more fat than you will gain muscle.
I'd recommend running about a mile everyday. Your legs won't look huge, the fat will be lost, and in the end, your legs will become more toned. ]
