Is thre anyway for me to lose my fat thighs without gaining muscle thighs?!
Question: Is thre anyway for me to lose my fat thighs without gaining muscle thighs?
So the main point is I want to lose some of the thigh weight. I DO have a little of a gut leftover, but I can hide that. But I can't hide the thighs. It's especially humiliating sitting down, since then the thigh fat smushes on the chair, increasing the size of my thighs by 32.33% (repeating of course... who got the Leroy reference?)
Other info, my diet really isn't good. I eat like 200 calories of cold cereal for breakfast, like a 100 cal pretzel to tie me over at noon till i can get home from school to make a sammich for lunch. nothing special about the sammich either, 2 pieces of bread, deli meat, i'm done. 200 calories?. dinner = chicken/pasta so about 300-700 calories. And I have a sweet tooth so (not lying) about 300-600 calories in sweets (lindor chocolate truffles+ entemin's cookies = omnomnomnom). normally if i eat healthy for dinner i eat more dessert, and if i eat pasta w/ tons of calories for dinner i less splurge on dessert, so calorie intake winds up around 1500.
So main point is, now that i gave you genetics and my calorie intake, anything i can do to get skinnier thighs? I'd appreciate leg exercises or just walking, as I've already done dieting (hence how i lost 20 lbs), but I want to avoid "muscle thighs". So yeah.... helps? O.O
Answers:
jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
Side Lunge Slide
Stand with feet hip-width apart, left foot resting on a paper plate.
Bend the right leg while sliding the left foot to the side, torso
upright and abs in. Slowly slide left foot back to starting position,
repeating 8-12 times. Switch legs and repeat for 2-3 sets.
Lunge Slide

Bend the right leg while sliding the left foot back into a lunge
position, keeping the right knee behind the toe, torso upright and abs
in. Slowly slide left foot back to starting position and repeat 8-12
times. Switch legs and repeat on each leg for 2-3 sets.
Front One-Legged Squat
Stand on a step or small platform. Lift left leg out in front of step
and bend the right leg, bringing the toe of the left foot to the
floor. Touch the floor lightly and keep the knee of the bent leg in
line with toes. Straighten the right leg and repeat 8-12 times. Switch
legs and repeat for 2-3 sets.
Chair Squat
Stand in front of a chair with feet hip-width apart, abs in and torso
straight. Slowly bend your knees and lower and until you're almost
touching your butt to the chair. Hold for 2-3 seconds, knees behind

Stand on step or platform with left leg on the step, right leg
hanging off the side. Bend the left leg and lower the right foot

8-12 times, switch legs for 2-3 sets.
Hip Extension
On a flat or inclined step or platform, lie facedown with hips on the
edge of the step, legs straight out behind you with toes resting
lightly on the floor. Squeeze the glutes and hamstrings and straighten
the legs until they are level with the hips. Hold for 2-3 seconds, and
lower letting toes lightly touch the floor. Repeat for 2-3 sets of
8-12 repetitions.

distance running or swimming will help. Ever saw a distance runner or distance swimmer with big thighs?
To do it quickly put black trash bags around your thighs while you are running. They'll sweet away. I know that sound extreme!

Typically all of the cross country runners you see have very slim thighs. Well...they're pretty thin all around. Long distance running won't build muscle unless you do it on an incline, and it'll burn fat pretty easily if you keep up a routine. Though, gaining a bit of muscle will help you burn more calories passively.
Anyways, don't try to feel self-conscious about it. Some girls (and guys...) like someone they can cuddle up with. And eat sweets with =D Just relax and be yourself!
This goes back to why people don't exercise. They think that if they touch a weight, they will end up being burdened by too much muscle. You need to realize that you need to have a calorie surplus combined with rigorous training over the course of months to years to attain "too much muscle".
With that being said, your diet is poor and you don't exercise. So the answer is simple. Eat less junk, limit simple carbs, increase protein intake and do some real exercise. Walking is not exercising, walking is walking. The intensity of walking is just not going to dramatically change your body composition.
So... Run, jog, lift weights, cardio machines anything will do, so long as it raises your heart rate.
The reason your friends can eat what they want, is more muscle mass. By your description, you lack significant muscle tone. Just because you are thinner now, doesn't mean you have done anything with your metabolism. The only way to increase your metabolism is to increase your muscle mass, because muscle requires more energy (calories) to sustain while at rest.
EDIT
DO NOT put trash bags or seran wrap around any of your body parts. This is a dangerous practice. All this does is dehydrate you by making you sweat excessively. Severe dehydration can cause a host of health issues including cardiac arythmia. Dehydration for weight loss is usually seen in the professional arena when fighters need to cut weight to make a weight class. Dehydration has zero impact on your body composition.
