I started exercising mainly alot of walking at the beginning this past May. In the past month since the weather has gotton colder I am now going to a work out center and using the eliptical (sp), tread mill and several other machines for my hips, outer and inner thighs and arms. My weight has gone down. YEAH ! My thighs (front and back) , inner and outer and butt have all slimmed down. Alot of the cottage cheese or dimple like appearance is gone. When I am standing and look down at my thighs they are alot smoother looking but I still see small like humps, not alot, but a few. My skin is smooth and soft. My quesion is, my legs, thighs and butt are like jello when I poke around on myself. I don't feel like they are firming up with the exercising I am doing. Its just kind of like flabby skin. Now my calves have firmed up and there is a little definition there. I always thought that to lose the weight doing repetitions was what you needed to do. But do I need to increase the resistance part a little more? I don't do the least amt of resistance or lightest weight on the machines. Most all the weight machines are either 30 or 40 lbs. I do 3 sets of 10 on those. On the eliptical (sp) I do have it set for incline, not much but some. And the resistance is set at a 3. I know that inof may not help you much with all the diff. machines out there.

Is there something else I need to be doing to help this flabbiness? Changing my routine ? Any info is greatly appreciated! thanks
