Question for those who lost all the weight they wanted and now maintaining, did your cellulite go away as well?

    Nope. Reduced, yes. But still there unfortunately.

    Cellulite is a result of genetics. It’s the actual makeup of your skin. It can be minimized with weight loss and by building muscle but it won’t go away completely. 😟

    This is my favorite article about fit ladies with cellulite
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/breakingmuscle.com/amp/fitness/the-little-dirty-secret-of-the-female-athlete-cellulite

    Mine has diminished a decent amount after a couple bulk/ cut cycles.

    that is a GREAT article. Thank you for the link. My cellulite appeared in my thighs when I turned 20 or so. My mom had it. It HAS greatly decreased with weight loss, but what I do see is that altho the texture is gone the skin still shows a type of mottling sometimes like the blood vessels underneath are visible. I remember that from childhood also - flat and not bumpy anymore. The cellulite in my upper arms which was developing before my recent loss is gone. I do have some loose skin of course, but I am 60 so that was going to happen. I have always hated the cellulite in my thighs tho. And for the first time since 20 it really it pretty much gone, but I did have to get to the lower end of normal BMI, and I did a LOT of running (which I love so not a problem!).

    I haven't really done a lot of bulk/cut just lost about 30 pounds.

    Best of luck. Everyone is different but I think you can reduce it significantly.

    Mine went down but it's still there. It's a lot better and in the summer when I get a tan it's even less noticable.

    From my experience, it will go down some with weight loss. It will go down significantly with fat loss, but this comes with a serious change in body composition...aka very heavy lifting...I don't run, except maybe sprint drills on the track. I started training at about 25%BF, this profile pic is about at 15%BF. The yoga pants cover it up, but there are very few dimples coming up, when pinching the thighs in this stage. Maintaining is a bit rough, though.

    It has reduced a lot but is still there - losing weight helped but more so running/biking/lifting weights made more impact as underlying muscle helps the look of the skin.

    You make paper out of cellulite - why should that go away?

    Are you thinking of cellulose? Cellulite is a lumpy appearance of the skin due to fat deposits.
