Modeling agency told me to loose 1.5 Inches in my hips. How do I do this quickly?

I'm a 36 in the hips and they would like for me to go down to 34.5. I have nooo clue how to do this. It's not like its my stomach so I'm clueless. What confuses me is your hips are measured at the widest part kinda by your thighs, which i will never understand cuz i always thought hips should be measured by your hip bones...anyways, I don't have much fat right there but according to my agency, I could loose......I just don't know what to do..

    Personally, I think you should tell them, 'thanks, but no thanks'. I've heard of girls being sent home because their wiast was 1/2 inch too large, it's ridiculous. But if you are serious about pursing this career, then be prepared for the ridiculous, but don't ever put your health at risk for the sake of making it in the modelling world.

    Yes, the hips are measured at the widest part, usually just above the thighs and around the butt. As for losing the 1.5 inches, just do it sensibly, no crash diets. Increase your exercise routine and reduce bad carbs, such as refined foods and snacks. Eat plenty of fresh fruit/vegetables and wholemeal foods. Also up your intake of good proteins such as lean meat, poultry, oily fish and egg whites. Drink 4-8 glasses of water a day and try drinking green tea, it speeds up the metabolism. HTH : )

    Let me address the question...Find out exactly where they take that measurement from. Hit that muscle or group with a toner. Like, 3 sets of 8 leg lifts. Hit that muscle area directly.

    This will decrease the fat around that particular area. Remember, do a toner exercise, not a mass builder. While you are toning, use more protein less carb diet. Lots of water, and a diuretic to flush the area. Should take U less than 2 months. Let me know if this helps.

    Modelling agencies will always tell you that you "just need to lose a few pounds here or there" or "just need to get your teeth done" or whatever. You're their commodity to make money from so they want to have you look a certain way. If you're happy with yourself then really, I'd look for somewhere else that will take you as you are, I mean, it's nothing that someone with photoshop can't change anyhow while they're air brushing the skin tones & whitening the eyes & so forth.

    The fastest way would be to go to a salon that does 'wrapping' and tell them what you need.
