out of curiosity, for those who have lost weight and had cellulite, did it get a little better, worse, or stay the same after your weight loss?

i dont need the hows and whys of what it is (i know all that) just asking what others have experienced....

    I haven't lost too much weight yet and I have lost some inches. My cellulite is still there, but I'm noticing it's less noticeable. If only I could get rid of it for good! lol! I've read that it doesn't ever really go away though. :ohwell:

    yeah, i know theres nothing you can really do to make it go away but was curious if weight loss had any effect on it ....

    The more fat you lose, the more it will go away. It isnt the weight loss its fat loss that determines it.

    When I lost all my baby weight down to 102-105 pounds it was at its worst. Then I got smart and bulked with heavy lifting and gained 5-ish pounds of muscle, which completely got rid of all of my cellulite.

    PROOF:

    105 pounds here doing low calorie and only cardio:

    112 pounds here doing only heavy lifting and HIIT training and eating a TON more not to mention 5 years older (disregard stupid face as I was drunk on a cruise and my hubby thought it funny to take drunk pics of me):

    It got better for me. I think it has to do with strength training, muscle building, lots of water, included with my cardio. I'm excited about it!

    yea, it does get a bit better, you should take a before pic and when you loss more weight take another, you will see differences!

    Hot mama!

    I agree the key is fat loss not just weight. Lifting heavy and HIIT are great. My legs have lost nearly all of its cellulite I did have.
