getting rid of my spare tire and thick thighs -16yo boy?

Question

I'm 5'6" and 140 lbs, but for some reason, I have really thick thighs. They're actually wider than my hips and i have to buy jeans in sizes too big for me because otherwise it's really uncomfortable for my legs. what can i do about that?
also, as long as i can remember, i've had a little bit of a paunch, but i'm not overweight. how do i get rid of it before i go to college in august?

Answer 1

we cant choose which body parts to lose the weight off - it has to be overall weight loss.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 2

Consider a diet. I've been on Atkins for six months now, and it's the best diet for me. You've got to find one that works for you though, and Atkins may or may not be it.
