Pear shape. Possible to lose fat from the Thighs/bum?

It's not possible to lose weight from a specific area but I've been told that if you lose weight and it comes off from really random places to begin with (like elbows and other really strange places) if you keep the weight off for a while the fat redistributes itself so its more sensible

However that might not necessarily be true

You probably can lose some weight from your thighs. I'm an hourglass and when I lost weight, some of it did go from my thighs but they're still big in comparison to the rest of my body.

If you want to lose weight on your thighs then do moderate exercises for long periods of time 3 times a week eg 40mins jogging. Also avoid doing things like squats, the rowing machine or heavy weights as that'll increase the size of your thighs. I would know, I accidently overused a weights machine and now have big muscles at the top of my thighs that I have no clue how to get rid of

Ignore this post Hayley, speak to the people at the gym. I promise you she is talking out of her arse. I work in a gym myself, and have been training hard/reading journals etc for 2 years, and although there is controversy on a lot of things, there are plenty of things that is just fact and that most sports scientists/personal trainers can prove/agree on. You do not need to avoid rowing and squats, lmao. In actual fact, rowing is an excellent exercise for legs and upper body and in your case excellent on a low resistance setting. Work hard at that/stepper/run, get the diet sorted, and you will soon see changes.

But obviously your the expert so the rest of us should just shut up it seems.

Correct, especially the kind of people telling someone that rowing is a poor leg exercise!

Hayley my dear, it is not possible to loose weight from one particular part of your body, I don't know how many times this has to be said. If your body-fat percentage is already quite low then you can go to specific classes/do specific exercises to target thighs and arse. leg press machine etc, the machines in the gym I use show what muscles are being worked anyway. But I stay away from machines most of the time as they have limited uses. (leg press/lat pull down/bench decline benefit me most).

exactly, while it is possible to lose wieght overall, it is impossible to pick where from, and specific exercises don't help lose fat, they only build muscle, so the result possibly is that area will be even bulkier.

Well today i bought two of the new Boots - Shapers pieces of exercise equipment. One was a tummy/waist toning disc thing and the other was a thigh/leg/bum toner, and it says that it 'trims and tones' your thighs. Was hoping they would be quite effective but not so sure anymore! They weren't expensive so you could give them a go if you wanted to
