I've been working out for over a year now, I can't seem to get rid of my love handles and my thighs are much bigger compared to the rest of my body any suggestions on what I should be doing? Should I try supplements?

Supplements won't correct your love handles or thighs, but a personal trainer may be able to point you in the right direction. They are amazing at pinpointing the correct muscle groups to localize the weight loss in particular areas of the body.

If I had a penny for every time someone asked me how to get rid of their love handles...

The two toughest spots to lose are the love handles and the lower abs. these are... by far, the toughest.

As tickle says, supplements won't help. As far as your workout, what do you do and how often do you do it? What's your daily calorie intake?

Without much information, I can only suggest eating properly, cardio 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes (cardio doesn't have to be running).

Also, if you have a light exercise ball, lay flat on the ground straight. Put the ball between your ankles (don't use a heavy ball), and lift both legs while slightly bending the knee (slightly!) and bring it up so your body makes a backwards L. slowly put it back down, but don't let the ball touch the ground, let it hover, then bring it up again but this time, towards the right shoulder. Back down, then again to the left shoulder. Repeat

First you can specifically spot reduce one area, your have to work out the whole body. So exercise and proper nutrition are key. Eat healthy, natural foods, smaller portions, forget supplements, just eat good food, no junk, fast foods, fried, or annything with excess sugar, high fructose corn syryp, cut down on chips and cakes... But beside that here are two exercise you should try in addition to some aerobics, walking.jogging, (at least 1 hours worth) and resistance training, (4-5 times a week 30-60 minutes)
