I have been going to the gym 5-7 days a week, been eatting healthy and have been stressing like cray and still i am the same weight.. I do a half hour of cardio, followed by a 30-50 minute weightrain program. I am a tall girl and not really heavy i just have a J-lo behind and big thighs that will not go away. My top half i love my arms are tone and my tummy is flat but from the waiste down i am a mess. I look great in my dress because the bottom is all puffy so it covers my bad areas. But for my HM i am in a lot of trouble because a bathingsuit hides nothing. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: what am i doing wrong??????????
How about seeing a personal trainer. It sounds like you are doing it all right, but a PT might help you find the right type of exercises for your problem areas.
Good luck!

Re: what am i doing wrong??????????
You should still work out your lower body with weights, and some heavy weights too. You need to increase your metabolism by gainning more muscle, and your lower body is 1/2 of your muscles that you aren't trainning hard enough.
Alos, gat a schedule that is broken up by body parts, and do your cardio last, not first.
How is your diet? How often do you eat? Do you try to have protein good carbs and good fats in every meal?

one more thing...
Try to do some cardio on an empty stomach in the morning, before you eat. 20-30 mins, low to mid-intensity.

Re: what am i doing wrong??????????
I eat six small meals a day. I have been on that diet for years a trainer put me on that because before that i would never eat. I have always had a problem with my weight. I am not that heavy either. I am a size four to six on top but a six to ten on the bottom. I just want the bottom of me to match the top. I mix up my work out a lot. I do legs two to three days a week. I have worked with a trainer for years, I have been lifting for four years. But no matter what i do i can not loose my legs. One trainer told me my legs will always be big because of genetics. but i disagree because there is still fat on them

sassy you're not alone!!
I know exactly what it's like :O/ Although I'm not as small as you, my top looks normal but my hips and upper thighs are ridiculous!!! When I sit down i seem to gain like 40 lbs!!!
My lower body is something I really need to cocentrate on...ugh.
good luck, and don't give up!!!

Re: what am i doing wrong??????????
It is most likely ginetics. I am also bigger on the bottom. You loose weight all over, but the bottom will always be bigger by a size, or two.
I got down to a very low 8-10% body fat, and no matter what my bottom was always softer and fuller than my top. My butt was a lot smaller, but the ratio is still the same.
What you can do is get more muscle on top to even it out.
