Q:your blog inspires me to lose weight the right way and im so proud of you!. i just have some questions. my upper body is fine mainly, i could lose a little bit but i think if i tone up it will look better. i weigh 139 but most of my fat is in my legs. how do i lose inner thigh fat and back of my thighs? i i have been working out for a couple weeks. right now im doing the 100 work out. i also eat less calories then i burn the advice you i got from your blog :) i know i have to be patient and keep working i just feel like it wont go away and will always be there or so im told. it wasn't there before

Unfortunately there is no such thing as “spot reduction.” Exercises can help to build muscle in a specific area making that area appear tighter and more toned, but they can’t help burn fat in a specific area. When your body needs energy and it decides to burn fat, it will decide where it takes that fat from, not you. So even if you’re doing a thousand leg lifts a day, your body might decide to burn the fat in your boobs. Yeah, it sucks, but that’s how it is. So if you have a problem area, the only thing you can do is continue to lose weight (in a healthy way!) until your body decides to start burning fat in that area. 

This isn’t to say that toning exercises are a waste of time, though. Adding muscle to your body actually increases your metabolism, causing you to burn more fat throughout the day. And doing muscle building exercises will help to make your body appear toned and in shape as well. 

Stay positive and keep up the good work! You can do it!

You can call me Ruby.

I am not a dietician, personal trainer, or doctor. I am just someone who adopted a healthy lifestyle and lost weight as a result. It took me over a year to lose my weight and I did it in a healthy way. I do not have an eating disorder, nor do I promote any unhealthy behavior.

Please check out the links on my sidebar before asking questions, since you might find your answer there.

I am no longer able to answer every question I receive. Please check my faq, pages, recently asked questions, and google, before asking. And please don't ask me things that can be answered by simply researching online ;p If you'd like to learn more about me, follow my personal blog: http://rvbyred.tumblr.com/
