Hi lovely, I highly recommend adding resistance training to your cardio exercise as well. Resistance training will help you tone and turn fats into lean muscles so this will really help in addressing this issue :) You can read more about it here.

I’m eating the same diet.
Why can this be?

Hey lovely! When it comes to running, I recommend that you opt for steady state running and make sure that you do it on a flat surface. If your goal is to slim down your legs, I would encourage power walking 5-6x a week. :)

Can i do that or will it increase my thighs size?

Hey lovely! Walking on an incline will put a lot of pressure on your quads which may result to unwanted bulkiness. It would be best if you always power walk on a flat surface. :)
