But I lost a half an inch in my waist but gained an inch and a half in my hips and thighs. It seems every time I work out I gain in my legs and they are my problem areas. I watch what I eat I exercise 4-5 days a week. Can anyone give me some suggestions.

Everyone has one initial part that responds faster to muscle growth than others, but others will eventually catch up. The 2 lb. gain is most likely muscle. Keep up the good work. And most of all, eat a good diet to sustain lean tissue and new lean tissue growth. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

I want to lose fat all over but I want to lose fat and muscle in my legs. ============ Quoting from bb1fit: Keep up the training. Make sure you work your other body parts hard.

You won't gain enough muscle on your legs to make them look big or awkward. Cut down your body fat and continue working out and your legs will look fine. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
