Hello Everyone!
This is my first time on this site. I'm hoping to get some support motivation from other people with the same goals. In the past few weeks I have lost around 10 pounds. I am happy with my weight. I'm 5'8", weigh 132 and I wear a size 4. Now, some of you may be saying why are you here? Well, I'm here looking for some suggestions and help as I do the "maintenance" work on my body. I want to get everything toned and tightened. Summer will be here before you know it and my boyfriends family just bought a beach house. This means I will be spending a lot of time in a bikini this summer and I don't want to wear shorts and sarongs to hide my problem areas. I just turned 30 last month and it's very important to me to get in shape and be proud of the way I look. My problem areas are my buns and thighs......I'm sure that all you ladies are really shocked to hear that....imagine, a woman who doesn't like her buns and thighs. If anyone has any suggestions of things that have worked for them to tone these area I would really appreciate the help.

LOL! You're right - imagine any of us not liking the way these regions look! ;) Unthinkable really!

Seriously Phillygirl,
Welcome to the WLF - good for you for wanting to improve your level of fitness and get toned.

I think that's important no matter where we're at, scale-wise and there's always so much we can learn and areas that can be improved through better fitness!

All that being said, ok, I'd LOVE to be 132 and a size 4 (I'm about your height!) What great motivation to me to know it's possible :)

What's your workout routine look like?
 
I just joined LA Fitness with my boyfriend.....who by the way makes me sick. He eats whatever he wants and has an amazing body! Men!!!!!! I am alternating weights and cardio. I do a lot of lunges and walking lunges with weights. A trainer told me the other day a great way to tone the bun and thigh area is to do about 30-45 minutes on the elliptical backwards. (please ignore if I spelled that wrong spell check was confused with this one) This is supposed to really work the back of the legs. I really like this machine because there is no stress on the knees. I'm averaging around 3-4 times per week at the gym.
 
Phillygirl,
That sounds like a great plan - I don't work with machines (I hate gyms), but lately, I've been adding some kick backs, lunges, squats and abductor exercises into my routine.

I'm sure if you've got access to a trainer, they can be of great advice!

It sounds like you're so right on track :D
