I applaud you on wanting to become leaner and healthier. But, try this for when the weather is in the teens. Exercise is a natural process that our bodies use to eliminate excess fat. People gain excess weight by either overeating or lack of sufficient exercise. So, on those days, stop and grab your coat and your keys and leave the house. Hurry to do this, but once outside take a leisurely stroll around your block. Then go back home and DON'T SIT DOWN, but do some house cleaning. Continue doing this 1 block jaunt for 1 week. Next week walk 2 blocks at the same leisure pace and go back home and clean some more. By now you should be more intuned to yourself and feeling like you can take on the world. Well, don't. We don't want you to get discouraged and stop walking. Your body will be fine tuning itself as you walk so you may not see immediate results. For your third week take in a block further and go home and do some more cleaning. Do the same for the fourth week as well. Now, here you are at the second month. You should be feeling more energetic. Are you? OK, then let's begin. This time when you go for your walk you will increase it by 2 blocks each week. If you feel pain or are short-winded then stop and go back to your last comfort zone of walking. This is only your body's way of saying that it is not ready for that step so fast. It is not telling you that you can't or never will do it, but just not then. Now go out and buy yourself some good raingear for the days when it is raining cats and dogs. Boots included and cover your nose and mouth as well. Don't let the inclement in the weather get in the way of you having good health. Now that you are walking further you need to go home and start organizing the cabinets and drawers. You are probably one of those people who still watch too much television. If you can't get up the nerve to throw it (idiot box) out, then watch it standing up as you go around and clean house. Oh, and another thing, while you are losing weight your clothes will start to bag and sag. Get rid of them! After all of your hard work you want to flaunt your success. Go out and buy new underwear and outerwear clothing. Don't forget that your feet will have lost weight too, so buy new shoes. Don't overwhelm yourself, though. Buy a piece at a time as you loose weight and get rid of your fat clothes. DO NOT STOP once you are at your ideal weight. Now you have to maintain it, for a lifetime. And always be aware of your surroundings. I can see you now. YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD!

I read the other day that fat from meats can go directly to your hips without changing so much as a molecule. Like, seriously, in a hundred years a scientist could peel back the skin on your thighs and say, "oh, three months before he died, this chap had a philly steak and cheese."
Anyway. Run. Run as much as you can.
Ultimately, if your hips are just shaped like that, you're not going to change it, but if that's your body's choice place to store excess fat, you can change that. Avoid the crappy foods - an excess of fatty meats, junk food, salad dressings, etc.
As a general rule of thumb, the more the fruits and vegetables you eat, the more weight you will lose.

you could no longer spot cut back on only your hips and to drop some weight throughout will make you too skinny on your greater physique. there is not any longer something incorrect with being a pear shape? if your hips have been smaller than you would be greater directly up and down and in my view I prefer some curves.

Depends. How old are you? If you are younger, you will just grow into them. If you are older, you will probably have to just live with it.
One thing you can do to make them look smaller is increase the size of your chest by doing wide arm pushups and benchpressing with some free weights.

Wear jeans low on your hips, and loose shirts.

You may be overweight, or you may have an abnormally large pelvis. I honestly couldn't tell you by your vague description.

Is it fat or is it just the way your body/bones are structured?
If it's fat, work out and diet. If it's your structure, get surgery or nothing.
