Losing weight on thighs: some say exercise cannot work, but only diet?

lifeevernow asked:


I do not have fat thighs but when I sit down, they are rather like a sack of flour or something. It just plops down and I can squeeze them. That is not the way it is when I stand up. How do I make my thighs muscular more and lose that fatty stuff?
I googled this and some Anne Collins said that exercise cannot work, only diet.
Is this true?
Are there any ways to solve this problem?
Thanks.

    Metabolism and Your Weight

    Helpful Tips for weight loss:

    1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

    Keep to a 1,200 food intake

    Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) …and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn’t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

    I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

    2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

    Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

    Lose weight fast

    that is not true at all. You stated that you wanted your thighs to be muscular, then you need to increase muscle mass.
    Both exercise and diet should be used together to decrease fat and increase muscle.

    Fastest Way to Lose Weight

    Anne collins is wrong. exercise more, & watch what you eat, you don`t necessarily have to diet. If you want your legs lean & muscular, you should try walking, & if you want more muscle, work with weights.

    Oh girlfriend, best to learn this now. You cannot lose weight in one specific area. Can NOT. You can tone it up, add muscle, firm it, but not lose the weight/fat just there. Everyone carries their weight differently. Some are top heavy, big chested or guys with beer bellies, women with bubble butts. They could lose a lot of weight and still have proportionately more fat in their own “problem area” to no avail. Look at J-Lo ! No matter how thin she gets, baby got back ! And it looks good ! So, work your legs just to tone them, but diet and exercise combined can only reduce all over weight/body fat.
