I think that spin classes work wonders for those areas

Diets are okay and everything, but they can decrease your metabolism, causing your body to conserve fat. What you really need is some long, slow aerobic exercise. Go for at least 12-15 minutes or more per day of walking, jogging, running, cycling, or some other kind of exercise such as these, and don't stop doing this once you get rid of the weight you want to get rid of. Another thing to keep in mind is that weight really isn’t the problem; fat is the problem. Weight and fat are NOT the same thing. Muscle actually weighs almost 7 times as much as fat. So don’t pay too much attention to your weight; instead pay attention to how thin you look and how good you feel.

A great tip is to eat 6 small but healthy meals throughout the day. This will increase your metabolism and burn body fat. You can't spot reduce body fat so you will have to lower your overall body fat % to see decrease around your hips, thighs, stomach, and butt. For more ideas read some of the articles at http://fitnessarticles.excellentabc.com . They have some good diet and exercise advice there.

Cardio, cardio, cardio. Shoot for 3 x 20 min (minimum)/week at your target heart rate. Eat 5/6 small meals per day of more or less the same calorific value to boost your metabolism. Make those meals and snacks out of lean protein, complex carb, fruit/veg and "good" fats. Drink copious amounts of water and unsweetened beverages (like herbal teas) between. As your weight loss picks up and should you decide to go on, add light weights to your routine. Resist looking at the scale - go by how you feel. You won't be disappointed.

I suggest that you try body cleansing. I tried it and really got lean quickly. I lost 15 pounds in 9 days and also 3 inches off my waist. I do body sculpting so getting leaner was my goal. My sister did this program too and she lost a lot of weight quickly. I did not know too much about cleansing but there are a lot of TV commercials about this stuff. This is a body cleanse and not just a colon cleanse, I wanted my body to get lean quickly and this did the trick!

Portion control. Fewer calories in, more out, in the form of excercise.

Ride a bike. Burns calories and works those muscles.
