Cellulite!!!!!!

I guess today is my day to complain. I seriously feel like a mongoloid I have so many issues lol Does anyone else have raging cellulite? I'm not overweight (tho I could stand to lose 10 pounds) but I generally take care of myself, eat well, could exercise more. However, my legs are horrendous. I have the worst cellulite, I hate it!! Anyone else? How did you get rid of it? Any products that work?

I recently read that SweetNLow can contribute to this so I cut it out of my diet 100% and I think I see a little bit of a difference but it could just be wishful thinking.

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

I have it. I'm not overweight by any means. I'm on the thin side but I have cellulite on my butt and back of my upper thighs. It used to bother me so much. I tried it all. I used to use that Nivea goodbye cellulite cream, it didn't work. I used to rub my legs with coffee grinds. I'm pretty sure the only thing that will get rid of it is excerise, and that won't even get rid of it completely. Even stick thin girls have it. Models have it. It's hereditary. I've read that drinking loads of water can help. If you stumble across something that works, please let me know!!!!!!

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

I think everybody in the world has it, there's really nothing you can do about it unfortunately. You're not alone

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

try taking dandillion root pills, it flushes the water out of your system so it may diminish some cellulite.

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

The one thing that really helped me see a difference was getting Lyposage. It was a little like a deep tissue massage in the problem area. It breaks up the fat pockets and left my skin looking much better. I went once a week for about 5 weeks than went every other week for 2 weeks and now I go about every 6 weeks of just before a vacation or something.

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

From what I have read the reason it is more common in women than in men is that it's the way a woman's body stores fat under the skin.
We store it in a honeycomb pattern- which shows up as celluite.
I am pretty thin- and even at my THINNEST - where I was like scary thin and trying to gain weight as a teenager- I had it.

It's just stored fat under the skin.

I tried some of the creams, gels etc - they don't do much.
Maybe toning up- to make the muscle show more - but I wouldn't know as I;m too lazy for that!

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

SKINNY, FAT... we all have it. I think genetics plays a part in it. Womens skin is also thinner than mens, so we tend to show it alot more than men would.

I remember years ago when i was doing pilates my instructor was this lithe, muscular dancer and one day she wore shorts and i was astonished by the cellulite on her thigh area. Considering she was so flexible, muscular, long, etc..just made me think that no one is going to escape cellulite.

Re: Cellulite!!!!!!

Yup I'm in the same boat as you, I never walk around in bikini on the beach or pool without covering up on the bottom, too self conscious, especially after 2 kids and I'm a size 6 but I know I need to really hit the gym and tone up.

Patti at Cosmetic Surgery of New York does Velashape and many many women, and gets great results. All the staff swear by it as well (i used to work there but never tried it).
