I'm new here one month into my weight loss

Hi! I started loosing weight over four weeks ago. I weigh myself every Sunday morning and on my last weigh in I'd lost 9 pounds so it's going well so far! Does anyone have any advice on loosing thigh fat, I'm seeing a real difference on my tummy but the thighs are slower. This might be perfectly normal I don't know. I eat healthy and calorie count and only drink water as well as working out 4-5 times a week. My aim was to reach my goal weight in 28 weeks so before summer and right now I'm on track

Lots of squats and lunges. Just stick with it. It's hard to really target one spot as far as fat loss goes, it will come off where it wants to. Congratulations on your weight loss so far, that is awesome.

Welcome to the forum!!!

If you want to lose thigh fat you basically just need to continue losing weight - eat healthy and exercise. When you exercise, keep your heart rate in the fat burning zone and focus on the muscle groups in your legs. That's about all you can do. Humans can't specifically pick from where they lose fat. Sucks, right? Anyway, try running, walking on a treadmill on an incline, get on an elliptical, do lunges, leg lifts, etc.

Oh, if you don't know how to find your fat burning zone...

Subtract your age from 220. 60 to 70% of that number is your fat burning zone. As long as you keep your heart rate in that zone your body will burn fat as you exercise.

For instance, I am 34. So, my fat burning zone is between 111 and 130 BPM.

220 minus 34 equals 186. 60% of 186 is 111.6. 70% of 186 is 130.2. So, as long as my heart rate is between 111 and 130 BPM it would be in my fat burning zone.
