I have pretty big thighs too- specifically saddlebags, blah- and it's just a part of my body I cannot change. My mom, who was a 3 sport athlete in high school, and my sister (who is 100 lbs and always dieting to an unhealthy degree), both have never been able to get rid of them. It's just a part of me I have to deal with- it's the genetic cards I've been dealt.

There's nothing wrong with trying to tone the body, but sometimes there are things we cannot tone away. Your 'fat attacks' could be, as other posters have suggested, part of your growing into a feminine body.

I know it's easy for me as a 24 year old not under the pressures of being a teenager to say 'just accept your unique body for what it is and move on' but that kind of is what I'm saying. My mom told me that enough when I was 16 to start believing it and I was so much happier after I did

true....your problem zone may always be there no matter if you even would lose all the weight. I've done plenty of diets just to make sure it never gets too much out of control. But even when I did weigh 137lbs I STILL had love handles.....so....please please....accept your healthy body....
