Banana Lactose

I must be doing something wrong, in fact, I am posative I am, help?

I dont drink soda or eat any foods with trans fats. I dont eat anything with High fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. I also don't do too much dairy, I'm a lactose! I eat minimal meat and and I usually have a daily food regimine like this:

Breakfast- Organic Frosted Mini wheats with soymilk
Lunch- Chocolate soymilk, those trixits or whatever they are called (crackers with whole weat), Lunchmeat sandwitch
Snack- Carrots, or a banana, or apples, or sweet peppers, or tomatoes, or a combo.
Dinner- Corn or a quesadilla or spinach. One of those.
And occasionally I will have an Odwalla bar for dessert.
I also drink 6 water bottles throughout the day.
After school I do Windsor Pilates and I have volleyball on fridays and mondays

I have Uber flabby thighs and my upper body is in awesome shape! Is it because pilates is a core workout? Should I add dance dance revolution to the mix as cardio? (I have school comitments and that is all I would have time and space for!)

You are not doing anything wrong at all my dear. In fact you sound like you have a very healthy lifestyle. I have been working out for a lot of years now, as well as dieted and my thighs are large as well. Your thigh muscles are one of the places on your body where a lot of fat gets stored, along with your butt and your midsection. ESPECIALLY since you are a girl. It is very hard for women to tone their thigh muscles, so I wouldn't worry about that at all.

If you really did want to try toning your thigh muscles then you would have to include a lower body workout into your week at least 3 days out of the week.

I would suggest doing things like squats, farmers walk, lunges. Those excercises should help to tone your thigh muscles down a bit.

Or you could try building muscle by hitting the gym and doing some leg presses. But again there's nothing wrong with having big thighs, the body NEEDS a place to store some fat and the thighs and butt got stuck with that job.
