I've been going to the gym for 2 years now and no matter what I do, I cant seem to tone my thigh area - that's front, back and sides. I only have a small frame and am pretty much in promortion (top and botton) but whils everywhere else seems to tone, this problem area doesnt.

Suggestions grately appreciated.

what have you been doing at the gym for 2 years?
the problem probably lies more with the program you do, not challenging your body enough and your diet than the amount of time you have been doing it.

A heavier leg routine is most likely in order, squats, lunges, deadlifts. Switch to HIIT for cardio, if you aren't already doing it and then clean up your diet. Get enough protein, eat lots of fibrous vegetables, stick to unprocessed whole grains and be sure to get good fats.
