Have you tried MBT shoes? They really do help slim thighs! MBT is short for "Masai Barefoot Technology" and I have 3 pair now because they work so good!
You can also exercise. Sure, lie on your side and lift the leg that's on the floor. Once you can lift it 100 times without stopping, add some weight. (A 1 lb. ankle weight would be a good start, then a 2 lb. one, etc.)
You keep your knee straight and lift as high as you can. The other (top) leg is bent at the knee and kept out of the way. My physical therapist had me start doing this years ago and I've got great legs.

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. I bet I was once fatter than you and I lost it by a combination of exercise and smart eating. Whatever you do PLEASE DON'T DIET. It will backfire on you quicker than spit. You know what you want to eat and what you like. I know I did. And there was NO WAY on God's green Earth was I going to give them up totally. BUT.....I could cut back on them. And where I could, swap lower calorie, healthier choices in its place, ie multigrain bread for white or regular wheat. 2% milk instead of reg. Low fat crackers etc. Also get off you a** and move. If you have to run errands in town whenever possible park the car in a central location and fan out and walk to the destinations. When you eat, EAT SLOW, the more you chew the more your jaw gets tired and your body says "I am full I want to stop". Also get a rope. Jumping rope is king with boxers specially when they want to make weight before a bout. Run the stairs if you do not have a stair-stepper machine at home. If you have at home or is part of a gym, jog-walk the treadmill. Then jog 1/8 of a mile backwards, then spint 1/8 of a mile near full speed. Then back to jogging backwards 1/8 of a mile and repeating the sprint. Do that for 2 weeks then try with wrist bands. 2 more weeks add a weight vest or a small backpack with phonebooks. If at a gym, do the leg press. I can tell you much more, but there is not enough room or you have time to read. But you can hit me later on that via 360.

Excersize alone won't do it. You need to get your body tuned to burn fat. THEN AND ONLY THEN will you begin to lose fat. Unfortunately, you'll lose it all over your body with your trouble spots coming last. Your face is usually the first place you notice it. Don't worry, once you start losing, you'll be really encouraged to continue. Heres how. Start on a lowER-carb healthy diet consisting of: Lean meats, cheeses, nuts, fresh vegetables, whole grains. Drink about 2 - 3 quarts of water each day (work up to it). Split your eating into 5-6 meals per day eating only enough to get you through 2-3 hours. Take a good multivitamin. Begin a gentle weight training routine to build muscle and therefore increase your metabolism. Take up an aerobic excercise like running, tennis, raquetball etc. If you need more knowledge in any of the above see a nutritionist and certified trainer. You only need to do this for them to get you on track - so less money. It is really painless, and you'll feel better and be happy with the results.

Try cardio. It takes 18 minutes of cardio to start burning fat. Also try leg lifts & believe it or not the thigh master.

Hiking is the main thing that made my flabby legs into muscle. Try that. Also, swimming should help along with jogging.

What I found that works best is a stationary bicycle or bicycle riding.
