I have a question about my jiggly thighs, lol

  • Last night I noticed that my legs have gotten quite a bit smaller with my 16 lb loss ( im only 5'0) but they are sooooo jiggly now. its yucky lookin.
    All I really do is cardio becasue I can't go to the gym but I do have an elliptical at home.
    I'm at 139 lbs, I still need to get to 110. Should I just keep doing the cardio to lose the rest of the weight then work on toning?
    I keep hearing they everyone should be weight training, how do you do that at home?
    I'm losing the weight and people say I look a lot better but I dont see it. I look in the mirro and still feel the same. I see the cottage cheese and the jiggly thighs. I am so ready to see myself as a skinny girl.
    Thats a lot of questions I know, sorry.
  • You could do squats and leg lifts in addition to your cardio--they don't require weights and they should be able to help firm up the muscles in your legs and make them less jiggly.

    There is a sticky about resistance bands that you may find useful.

    Also, it has been my experience over my weight loss that sometimes stuff will get more jiggly before it disappears. I know it sounds funny but I imagine it as the fat breaking apart in preparation for leaving
  • Yeah, what nelie said. Definitely try some resistance bands, leg lifts and stuff. Always helps to work on strengthening and toning but it does take a little time for our bodies to readjust everything into place. When I was about 20lbs down and a couple of months into my exercise program I was worried that I was getting downright lumpy looking but, as time went by, things evened themselves out quite a bit.
  • I just got the leg magic . But i think you should start with weights i think what you're lacking is just muscle
  • Oh I like thinking of it that way nellie, lol.
    I'll have to try hose resistance bands

    Yoyodieter. I love your siggy quote!
  • You want to tone as you lose weight.
