Cellulite on thighs and stomach?

I'm about 5'4 and weigh 134 lbs. I don't really look bad in clothes, but I have "ripples" on my thighs and on my lower stomach. It seems to be worse on the outside of my thighs.... I'm already counting calories. I have a bodymedia, so I try to shoot for a 500 cal deficit daily. Will this go away as I lose fat... or what? Open for suggestions. Thanks

    It won't go away as you lose weight. I have a friend who is a 0/2, has never been heavy in her life but she still has celluite

    I have less cellulite now than I used to. I've been consistent with my diet (pretty much), consistent with cardio (pretty much), and I'm lifting as much as I can fit in. I think the combination of the three is reducing the cellulite. It is very slow work, but I do think it is better.

    I haven't been able to change the appearance of my tummy, it;s shrunk a bit, but still lumpy bumpy, but I am finding cellulite is less noticeable above my knees now that I've built some quad muscle. It's still there if I pinch, but less noticeable when I'm standing up. Must be the increasingly harder lunges that I've been doing up to four times a week for almost a whole year. So maybe there is hope for the legs? :smile:

    I've been at it since the first of October with healthy eating and exercising almost everyday and finally am starting to see visual results on my tummy. I think it's a long hard road but totally worth it. I also think maybe it's a bit harder for those of us over 40. Just keep your eyes on the goal and you'll get there.
