    Lower your bodyfat %...and to do that you need to lift weights and eat properly.

    Don't hate me, but you can't unless you get down to competitive bodybuilder levels of bodyfat. The more fat you lose, the less you'll see cellulite, but most of us are never going to lose all of it.

    I don't really look close enough to see if I have cellulite! Ignorance is bliss - so long as I'm being healthy in my eating and exercising, and feeling good as a result, then I'm happy. :-)

    Exercise. Eating right doesn't do it by itself, you end up just skinnier with the same amount of dimply cellulite. Exercising makes it less visible.

    Scrap the Lean Cuisines and make something similar from scratch. Most of them are a tiny serving of rice or pasta, a tiny serving of some kind of meat, and a tiny serving of vegetables with some kind of sauce with a ridiculous amount of sodium in it.

    For the same amount of calories, you can cook for yourself, and have a good amount of protein and vegetables. Buy a pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or some fish or shrimp, a couple bags of mixed frozen vegetables and a few bottles of your favorite marinades, and you're set. Cook it all up stir fry style.

    Aim for WAY more protein than MFP suggests, too.

    I agree. I would not call lean cuisine a "safe" choice. It's a frozen entree with added sodium and other crap in it, even if they're trying to call it healthy. Cook homemade meals, and make lean meats and veggies! very simple!

    Run! It took 3 miles a day for four months, but it worked for me. :) (Lowering body fat % is probably the real key here.)

    mine might not be all that low, but low enough to compete for bikini - about 15% and even I still have some cellulite.

    Running alone didn't do it for me. What worked was a small calorie deficit (aiming to lose a half pound a week), eating my exercise calories, aiming for 100g of protein a day or more, and heavy strength training. I still ran, but the difference between how my bum looked after I started lifting and eating more protein was AMAZING. I'm also 40, so it took more work to get my backside lump-free than it might have if I was younger.

    I still have cellulite, but I pretty much only see it when I have horrible lighting, like the dressing rooms at Kohls.

    Thanks! I have been on a healthy journey for the last 5 years. So far I have lost 40 lbs and 15% body fat. I thought I would never get rid of that cellulite on my *kitten* but low and behold, with exercise and a healthy diet, it is gone. I thought I was for ever condemned to having cottage cheese hips.

    You can do this, and while you are at it, your body will thank you for it. :flowerforyou:
