SRUTHI sandya replied. Shruti, Welcome to the weight loss club. You seem to be doing really good with your diet. Wish i had that kind of will power to resist food. Since i can' t resist food, i try to eat only healthy stuff. But you know what? they all convert to calories whether healthy or not. Anyway, i' d be the wrong person to talk about abs, since my abs are the worst looking. Yes, about butt and thighs i can talk. By doing cardio such as cross training, running, walking, bicycling etc...you can strengthen your thighs and legs. When you build muscle, you' ll lose some inches there. But don' t expect to see pencil thin thighs since we Asian women are born with strong thighs. Butt can be improved by doing squats and you' ll also notice a great deal of improvement with cardio also. Nobody can change your hip size, so remember that. Hope it helps. Keep up all the good work. sruthi replied. HI ALL,

sruthi
