big thighs?

[Tatyana]

Women have more bodyfat on their hips and thighs due to oestrogen, it is actually a healthier way/place to carry fat rather than around your middle.

That being said, this is the other thing I have heard with regard to women losing lower body fat from Dave Palumbo, who has prepped loads of women for BBing comps.

Women carry more fat or have a harder time losing lower body fat when they do not have enough essential fatty acids in their diet.

The best source of this is fatty fish, but I do think that EFA fish oils may also be a welcome addition to your diet.

I am 5"2' and am in the same boat. I have a naturally musclular physique with big, luscious legs. I have learned to love them because to someone else they are very attractive, especially men.

Over the last year they have shaped up and slimmed down nicely. I teach 2 spin classes and 2 pilates classes a week. I walk 3 miles once a week and weight training 3 times a week. Also, I eat a clean diet. No processed food, just all natural with lots of chicken, nuts, tuna, potatos, brown rice, oats, eggs, and fruit and veggies. Onces you get your diet in check and drop the sugar you should be in good shape. Just remember this does not happen over night. As mentioned before it took a year and it was done right.
