I'm not fat but I really want to go on a diet to lose a bit of weight around my thighs because I never gain weight in my middle section.. the thing is my mum will practically force feed me if she thinks I'm not eating enough. So what should I do!? Any advice on losing the most weight from your legs?

I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!
The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

Lunges, squats, etc. Cardio work out is the best prelude to any specific exercise (for a specific body part). Thighs are really difficult to slim down ): How lucky you are that you never gain weight in your middle. (: If you really want to diet, eat different foods. Less carbs and the typical don'ts for diets. You could request for your mum to cook different foods, it may help and you wouldn't exactly be eating too little. (: I hope this helps you!
