hey everyone,

i am not an overweight person. i am a female, 5'7, and weigh 126 pounds. i am
mainly interested in losing saddlebags/thigh weight, since i have a slim upper
body. it makes me feel unproportioned. does anyone here know the best way to
lose weight/tone in these areas? should i be cutting down mostly calories,
doing some squat exercises? what else? i really want to shape my butt a little
more and get rid of excess fat in that area. i'm assuming that results will
take a long time, but how long?

Rule number 1.   You CANNOT spot reduce in one area.

Now, you are already underweight for your height.   So, if you want to lose
the jiggle on the thighs your best bet is to turn to weight lifting.

Start weight lifting.   Work on gaining muscle mass.   Gain some weight in
the form of muscle and you'll see that your thighs will reshape themselves
and you'll lose fat and gain muscle which will make your thighs appear more
shapely.

"Tone" and spot reducing are major falsehoods in the diet world.   They are
terms used for marketing to sell products.   They prey on people's self
images to make you spend money to buy their products.

What's amazing is just how many of these useless contraptions
they sell of late-night "info"mercials.

Just Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze your way to shapely thighs.....

Right, spot reducing won't work.  I'd suggest 30 minutes of aerobics
daily as the primary slimmer, weight lifting as secondary.  I'd also
suggest concentrating the weight lifting on the body's largest muscles
- the thigh muscles.
