To lose fat do cardio... you cant spot reduce it, but you can tone at the same time.
Try using an elliptical or treadmill on high incline. Doing squats while holding a medicine ball also helps.
pilates do a lot on but..
get a dvd on it.
Don't worry about it. It is natural for a woman to have chubby thighs and butt. It is unnatural for a woman to have thighs and a butt like a 12 year old girl.
Most important lesson from sensei --
keep mind focussed
butt big now
butt been big long time
butt be big for long time yet
but butt get not big in big time
Fat tends to go first to some people's thighs (to me it goes to my gut). From there it spreads to other places. As you lose fat, you will likely find progress goes faster in the other areas that you've not yet been paying attention to. Your cheeks may get tighter again and wrinkles and blemishes decrease. Your calves may one day look ready to go out on the beach. You'll notice you no longer need the scarf to hid the extra skin fold of your neck. But still you are stuck with your thighs.
This could be discouraging if you weren't prepared for it. But now you know you've lost all the fat from other hangouts on your body. Any more fat you loose will come from the problem areas.
Now, two wrods about exercises. Exercsies are good, but execrices add weight. As your muscles improve in their tone and strenght, you will have more muscle weight. If you bulk up muscles in areas of overlying fat you are actaully going to ADD INCHES TO YOUR BUTT. So first work on increasing your overall level of fitness and metabolism, then work on substituting healthy foods for poorly nutrious choices that you and the rest of us eat. Those two first steps should take you 2 motnhs to get good at them. If you are then you're ready for step 3 -- weight training. This can be done at home with a video or exercise book/tape. It can be pilates, or aerobics or dance. Or it could be done outside with wlking biking, swimming. Or with others -- basketball, volleyball, swimming, etc.
Once you start to chage your diet and activity, you can expect to lose 1-2 pounds every week until you weigh 10% less than you started. Then things slow down a bit again, but keep on keeping on.
Keep your stick on the ice. We're all in this together.
