Mommy's Cellulite Success Stories/Improvement

mkm81

Hi All - I am getting back on track again today for the 100th time. I had lost over 90 lbs about 15 years ago and then slowly gained and then lost the same 20lbs over and again. Then had 2 children in 3 years and stopped working out completely. Now, my body is in the worst shape it's ever been in... cellulite, stretch marks, and loss of muscle tone. You can imagine...

I'd love to see some success stories from folks who have battled back after having kids and essentially starting over from a fitness level. Thanks in advance!

I had two kids back to back-latest one in June of 2018. I started doing kettlebell workouts with HASFit on YouTube. They are pretty quick and I did them while the kids napped, before they woke up for the day or after they went to bed. I’m now in better shape than I’ve been even when I was younger and at a lower weight(lower weight doesn’t equal being fit!)

In regards to your question about cellulite, strength training with the kettlebells and a healthy diet has significantly reduced it to the point where I hardly notice it unless I’m really looking for it! With that said, you’ve had babies and there isn’t any shame in cellulite-most women have it, even the skinniest among us

Good luck!

I still had a bit of cellulite when I was 30 pounds underweight--sometimes it's just genetic, but you probably know that!

I haven't had kids and only lost about 14 pounds, but it was a quasi recomp as well so most my trousers are way too big now. My cellulite became a lot less noticeable. I did kettlebells/strength training, ate better, and did some yoga and running. I also walk around a lot.

It's just doing what you know ya should consistently and being patient. Best of luck and looking forward to your success story photos! :-)

Thanks ladies! I used to do kettlebells, so just need to get swinging again!

Even at my leanest, I have some cellulite.. but it has definitely improved with strength training and muscle building, and leaning down. It seems to get worse during and after pregnancy and when my bodyfat is higher.

I don't usually get much cellulite, even when over weight, but after my third baby at 10lbs overweight I had it and it looked terribl. I've now lost 10lbs doing a lot of slow cardio, walki g with baby, and lots of short bursts of kettle bells. I also follow hasfit on you tube and fitness blender. I also do body brushing in the shower, most studies cite that as more effective than creams and even weight loss soneti es.

Cellulite looks way better after strength training, stretch marks have faded into white/silver lines. Add some weights to your workout routine - even if it’s at home with the babies - you will feel and look much better !
