I can't lose weight?
I eat really healthy and I started to drink plenty of water and eat only one serving of fruit and eat more protein, vegetables, good fats, and whole grains. I am more of a pear-shaped or hourglass figure or whatever but I have big thighs and love handles. I am also not fat or skinny I look okay except for my thighs and love handles. I need to know how can I lose weight should I eliminate fruit or whole grains. (I love bulgur wheat). I also workout on the elliptical and do a lot of cardio. I am also tall 5'10".

no, keep eating your fruit. also exercise. sometimes weight could also be because of genetics. if you have a family history were a lot of members have big thighs then its not your fault, its probably the genetics. make sure you exercise at least 3-4 times a week (jogging, sports, running...etc) and stretch. that may help. happy new year :)

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.
Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help. Foods such as desserts, sweets, cakes, cookies or biscuits must be eliminated or substantially reduced. Cereals must be restricted to those that contain less than 15% total sugars and junk sugar loaded foods such as pizzas must be avoided. Junk sugar bowls must be abolished.

The natural sugars in fruit and vegetables are OK as they metabolise to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content so they have a low to medium GI value. Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruit and vegetables are metabolism boosting foods and that helps for weight loss. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are exceptions and can be fattening.
Fattening combinations that you need to avoid include combinations of protein foods (such as eggs, meat, poultry, sea food, cheese and nuts) with starchy carbohydrates (such as bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn).

Fruit is good for you, eat more of it! No, don't eliminate either of them. There is nothing wrong with what you are eating.
