Been a long time .....need your help

Hey guys - Sorry its been so long - I am about 16 months out and I have lost 211 lbs - was 480 now 269 and need to lose about 40 more lbs to meet my goal. My major issue right now is my legs still being large. My calves and thighs will not get smaller at the same pace the rest of me has. I know that its possible to isolate muscle to build and shape, can it work with fat too? Will focusing on a lower body workout make any of the fat go away or just affect the muscle. I also have serious veins poking out on my legs that I will eventually have removed and they will look a little better. I really just starting a weight lifting routine and need advice. Thanks

I updated my photos on my profile so you may be able to see what Im talking about

Don't have the answers.  Just wanted to say you are doing great!!  One thing I had noticed (maybe you're the same way), I lost weight first where I gained it last.  The last place I packed it on was on my back...that was the first place I lost it too.  Yes I was losing it all over, but certain places become the last to go.  My breasts were one of the last to go...Maybe your legs might be the same way.  Brian

I am right there with you, but think about this, we use to walk around with close to 500 lbs on us. I know I could, with out a lot of effort, climb stairs. To climb stairs requires the lifting of about 2 to 3 times your weight. This both explains why my legs are still so bulky and why I can leg press 1800 lbs. (No this is not an exaggeration or typo). I don't have speed, but I do have great leg power.
