losing weight and toning up

How can I lose weight overall, but mostly in my thighs. My hips are naturally wide, it runs in my family, but within the past two years I've gotten unfit. My hips are wider and my thighs are bigger. I don't have much of a problem with my stomach. My goal is to make my thighs smaller and lose the cellulite. I'd like to lose about 20 lbs. and tone up my thighs especially. Any suggestions on how to do this? All help thanked! :)

Sorry, my response wasn't helpful to you; I'm not sure what you're looking for, or why walking and yoga "do nothing " for you, since they've been proven to be some of the best exercises there are, unless you simply don't like them.

You can't "spot reduce", but you can exercise to target certain areas, though in order to be healthy, you should target your whole body to keep muscles strong and toned.

My "go to" exercise is walking and yoga.  Yoga is great for toning muscles and it makes you feel "long and lean".
