So in attempt to slim down a little through the hips and thighs (and not have to have alterations) I started a kettlebell work out. I know you can't chose where your body loses fat but I really want to focus on this area and possibly my arms. Does anyone have any work out suggestions for these areas? FI and I walk every day but I really want to kick it up a notch. I really would like to lose inches in my hips and thighs before the big day. So what have you guys been doing to prepare for the big wedding day?

Walk on the treadmill every day I'm not working @ the hospital (I've decided I run around enough while I'm there that I don't need to walk extra), free weights, pushups, wall sits, dips, basically anything I can do outside of a gym & I've been dancing as much as possible. You could look into ballet work outs...it did wonders for my thighs & hips! Good Luck Lady!
Still here and still fabulous!
I was going to the gym but now I'm really honing in on eating better (that's the hardest part!). Since I wont be able to work out for 4-6 weeks, I'm going to have to RELY on eating better.
Other than that, I have been doing crest whitestrips which I LOVE! I have also been drinking more water and have done one facial. That, plust I'm PREPPING for my next bikini wax. (lol)

I played bball in college and we also used to bend (like a squat) and walk from one side of the gym to the other with a rubber band around our legs. You could probably get a similar effect by shuffling to the side (need to be in squating position) for 10 steps then switching. Might look silly in front of your neighbors though ;-)

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.
BUT! I lost lots of inches from my hips and thighs (and lower belly area too aka pooch!) by just changing one thing from my diet. Switch to whole grains and no carbs at dinner...
For breakfast I eat whole grain cereal (Think cheerios or fiber one) or a whole grain bagel/toast and for lunch I usually have a sandwich on whole grain bread or some type of whole grain pasta, but for dinner just have the meat and veggies. The hardest thing is just no corn or potatoes.
Let me tell you it melts away and even faster when you are exercising! And it isn't too hard a change! Just make sure everything you buy says 100% whole grain...
I was seriously so amazed at how much extra weight I was carrying around the middle of my body just from too many refined carbs...

But if you work out and watch them carbs you would be good.. You dont even have to quit carbs all together b/c you need them for energy but just cut back. drink lots of water.. AND REMEMBER SODA IS HORRIBLE..
I go by this now " a moment on the lips is a LIFETIME on the hips".. lol
Hope it helps
