CELLULITE!!!

Oh my!

I just tried on a new bathing suit that I bought on clearance from J. Crew. I was SHOCKED to turn around and see brand new cellulite! Lots of it! I swear it was not there in September when I packed away my summer shorts and suits...

AAARRRGHHH!!!

What can I do? I haven't been working out much, so I know that is the first step, but what else??

Any suggestions?

Or at least hugs?

Re: CELLULITE!!!

First,

I'd suggest working out the muscles around where you see the cellulite. From what I understand, cellulite can often develop where there's a loss of muscle. My friend (who is a size 0) used to be a competitive ice skater and had very muscular legs. When she stopped skating, she developed cellulite. The same happened to me after I had surgery and couldn't run.

Also, the Nivea gel (they sell it at Drugstore.com) has gotten good reviews - you have to use it 2x a day though.

HTH

Re: CELLULITE!!!

I had cellulite on my upper thighs (back) all my life. I started running and honestly, it's helped.

I've never heard of the nivea cream but I have used the Avon one and it helped a tad bit. Nothing dramatic though!
