im currently a size 7 in jeans and because i've worked at a restaurant the past two years i've gained around ten pounds even though i have a really fast metabolism, so i even have to squeeze into a 7 now. i want to trim down to a 5, maybe even a 3. im pear-shaped and my hips/thighs are definitely the biggest part of me. how can i slim my hips and thighs so i can go down a size or two? i dont drink any soda products, and i'm trying to eat healthier and not eat so much fried stuff. i have no access to a gym and i cant buy any equiptment. all i have is 8 pound dumbbells and im not a fan of running. i work out a little here and there but i'd like more drastic results. how can i achieve this? specific exercises to get leaner and more toned without bulky muscle? thanks.

Cut the fried stuff out, or at least to a minimum. Try to eat regularly throughout the day - like 5-6 mini meals. That is the most effective way to lose weight. Try the special k products. Cereal, Special K bars and crunchy things (dont know what else to call them haha). Like, try starting out your day with a Special K bar. They help you lose weight and they don't taste like crap. As far as exercising, there are TV shows that show you exercises. I'm not sure what channels you get, but you can find listings online. Also, you can download workouts from youtube.
Good luck! [ blondie75's advice column | Ask blondie75 A Question ]
