I also have a hard time with my legs and them being bigger in the thigh area. I recently started hiking three times a week and also my trainer told me to try Oxy Elite Pro from USP Labs and since I have been taking it I feel like I have more energy, less appetite and I have lost 5 pounds in the last 6 weeks. I cannot say enough good things about it. It really works. It is a thermogenic fat burner. I lokked into it a lot before I tried it and I have been quite happy with the results. I wish you luck and like the others have said it will come off it just will take more time, more loss, and more working out./ I wish you the best of luck and I have faith you will see the success you are looking for.
