I have been recently trying to lose weight, and so far i am being successful, but i can not seem to lose that much weight in my upper thighs. I do machine squats, lunges, and the thigh machines. Is there anything else that i can do?

Just keep at it. Fat comes off all over your body and eventually it'll come off your thighs. Everyone is predisposed to store fat in some places more than others. If thighs are your stubborn area, as are mine, then they'll typically be the last to let it go. keep up with the squats and lunges and make sure your using enough resistance to build muscle! Also remeber that diet is key!

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

That's what makes or breaks people when dieting, whether or not you can stick it out. Just keep in mind, losing weight takes time, just keep at it like fly mentioned. What else or you going to be doing with your time? Might as well spend it losing weight.
