Just let it all go....but not literally.

I'm talking about those ladies in the magazines. I have clients come to me with pictures from Oxygen magazine asking me to help them look like that. I always reply, "They don't even look like that!"

It's called photoshop people! Anyone can look like a model after great hair, make up, and fantastic editing. They shave off all the bumps and humps in the picture so the end result is...perfection. Then we strive for it.

So, my advice is to appreciate what you have and work with it. Some people just have big hips and they always will. I'm not saying good diet and exercise can't help, but it will not make them disappear. Odds are if your mom has big hips and you have big hips, you'll always have bigger hips.

The trick is to find an exercise program that targets your "problem" areas. I have heard people say that there's no such thing as spot reduction. But if you are dieting and exercising like crazy your "problem" areas will have no choice but to hit the road eventually. They may be the last place to leave, but it will happen.

So, do some research. Ask for advice. Hire a professional. But learn what works for you and your body.
It may take some trial and error, but you'll make it!
