Well, the other advicenator was right about 1 thing. that is the running part. That helps A LOT! but the leg lifts, that tones your abs... not thighs.
If you want to tone your thighs, do these
WALL SITS- really simple to learn, pretend like you are sitting on a chair... having your back against a wall and there's no support under your butt. Have your legs be at a 90 degree angle. So it looks like you are sitting on a chair, but actually without one.
KING SQUATS- kinda hard. Have a bench or couch behind you. Have one foot on there and the other stretched and bent out in front of you. so it looks like a lunge. The leg that is in the back, has to be higher than your other leg. Slowly lower your back leg so it is parallel with the other leg. Then come back up.
LUNGES- same thing as a king squat, but without the bench/couch. So stand up straight, let 1 foot come out in front of you and bend both knees. Make sure that the front knee isn't over your toes... So if it is over your toes, then you need to step out farthur. Make sure your front knee is parallel to your toes. Then hold this position for 30 seconds and break. switch legs. also make sure that your knees do not touch the floor.
That's all I have for you.
Hope they work!

Well you should of course run. Try to start at running 10 minutes a day or as long as you can handle without hurting your body, and then work it up to longer everyday. I reccomend doing it either in the morning or evening, because it's cooler then. Also, listening to music while doing helps alot too.
Also you should do these things called leg lifts. They are pretty hard and you should start at 10 then work your way up to 3 sets of 10. They are really effective though. Here's how to do them:
sit in a straddle on the floor, hands behind you for support (hands should be on the floor, under or near your tail). Slightly lean back and lift both legs (about a foot off the floor), keep your legs STRAIGHT, WITHOUT your legs touching the floor lift them 10 times, release, count to 10 for a breather and repeat.
The key to all excercises is that you have to be consistant! Don't feel discouraged if in 2 or 3 weeks you still aren't satisified! It takes a while.
