cellulite

Sexy girl over here!

Weight training will help.

Lowering your body fat %, not your weight will help (weight training, lifting heavy and frequently will help with this, as well as keeping your diet on point)

I know of women with 6packs that claim to still have cellulite still so I don't know that it is something that will be 100% gone, although can be improved.

^ This.
Believe it, or not, people can still be considered clinically obese, even if they seem to be normal body weight. Your body fat % counts. BMI charts can only go so far. Sometimes you have to look at the overall body composition.
Looking at the intro at your profile page, you need to adjust your nutrition significantly, if you want to find out if your cellulite will disappear. I'm 50, train like a mad woman usually 6 days a week, and I am now at about 17% bf. Cellulite is almost not noticeable. The rest is genetics....the other women in my family are sad proof for this....
My suggestion would be, that you look around at your local gyms or healthcare providers, and ask for a fitness assessment. This should include measurements and info about your body composition. You can use it to set your nutrition and exercise goals.
Good luck!

the cause of cellulite is mainly genetic, but good hydration is key. That and decreasing BF% as others have said, but most of it will be out of your control.

The skinniest and the most muscular women can still have plenty of cellulite, if it's in their genes.

EDIT: I have tons of cellulite on the backs of my thighs. When I was at my heaviest (135 lbs) and when I was at my thinnest (114 lbs), still tons of cellulite. And I already drink a ton of water, have since I was a kid.

This...

I feel that pear shaped tend to hve more on the thighs because that's where the fats go...

Start using Nivea Q10 moisturiser all over the areas that need it. I'm serious! I've been using the product for about a month now and I have already noticed my butt, thighs and belly are a lot smoother and the cellulite appears to have faded, and the stretch marks on my belly from pregnancy have also smoothed over. My butt also appears more lifted.

I don't think you need to lose weight. I think you look good! You should totally try the lotion.

Hello ladies!

I would like to share my recent success. I don't personally think being slim has much to do with cellulite... I'm slim and always have been and I've always had cellulite. Lowering body fat does help and exercise is great for the shape of your legs but unless you get rid of all your fat you can't get rid of all your cellulite through that method (and you're not going to get rid of all the fat on your bum, nor would you want to - that's where us girls store supplies for famine/winter!)

I've been doing some research and for the last month or so, maybe a bit less, I've been doing the following and it has enormously helped with the cellulite situation - I would post photos but I want to keep going for a little while until I have a more drastic result as I'm still on my way...

1) dry brush fairly vigorously before showering - what people say about swelling causing the 'temporary cosmetic effect' of dry brushing seems to be total tosh to me. My legs look *worse* immediately after brushing when they're a bit pink but they look better week on week...
2) after dry brushing apply a circulation-boosting tonic to the legs. My personal recipe is one tablespoon water, one tablespoon honey, half a cup of instant coffee and a bit of cayenne pepper (amount is based on preference - should be enough to feel a slight tingle but not a burn) - mix it up until you have a thick sticky mixture so it's not too messy and will stay on the skin. Looks ridiculous but it works (I presume by encouraging blood flow to the area the way a lot of rubbishy chemical cellulite creams do - both caffeine and cayenne are famous for this)
3) after shower rub in some coconut oil - massage your legs and when you find hard fatty lumps try to work them out a bit.


I think just the coconut oil and dry brushing would work (and I got that bit from the following article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/18/get-rid-of-cellulite_n_1562687.html though I do it slightly differently) but if you do the above I think with any luck you'll have fairly drastic results fairly quickly. If you fancy adding a few glasses of cayenne and lemon juice a day to your regime this is probably not a bad idea either as there has been some research showing that cayenne pepper helps your body activate brown fat and burn white fat due to the capsaicinoids contained in it;

"Another recent study has suggested that the ingestion of capsaicinoids can increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation through the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in humans from the effects of the capsaicin.[59]" - Wiki

Won't go on massively about brown v white fat but brown is the good stuff.

I hope sincerely that this helps and would be very interested in feedback if anybody has a go at it!

Weight lift, squat, and lunge. That's the only thing that has ever worked for me.

The cellulite on my thighs is gone but I'm not 100% on why as I've changed too many things.

It's not weight loss as I've lost weight in the past and it was still there and I've just done a bulk and it didn't come back. So, for me, a combination of strength training, foam rolling/massaging, exfoliating and moisturising (and caffeine (I use a homemade scrub with coconut oil and ground coffee)).

Sorry I can't be more specific but it just sort of disappeared without me noticing exactly when. I'd stick my neck out and say that the strength training has helped lower fat in the area rather than just losing weight.

I have the same exact problem with cellulite, even if I'm not a slim woman.
I happen to hold most of my weight on my thighs and butt, and I guess they also increase my overall fat %. I'm a healthy weight, but I still look chubby/fat.
I have been trying to increase my strenght training and cutting my cardio, I'm still losing weight since I'm eating at a deficit, I also keep my salt and sodium intake under control, drink a lot and basically do everything I should do to resolve my problem with cellulite. Yet, losing weight (I lost around 19 kgs) and drinking more hasn't helped much.
I don't know if having cellulite and holding most of my fat on my thighs are connected phenomenas, but I wanted to ask you guys if you think lifting heavier weights (which is something I haven't done yet) and decreasing my fat percentage could help me to get rid of at least some of this cellulite and also get my thighs to look at least proportionate to the rest of my body.
I don't believe in using pills or creams and other products too much, and I don't want to waste my money on that, but I might spend my money in joining a gym if that's what I need. Working out at home is great but I can't afford to buy and store so many tools which is basically why I haven't ever lifted heavy weights even if everyone says that would be the best thing for me.

Hi, I feel your pain, I've always had cellulite and I probably always will. I read an article a couple of years ago that said that the way all the expensive lotions and potions work for celulite, is that they hydrate the skin and stimulate the bloody supply under the skin. It said you can achieve the exact same results by giving your thighs a good rub in the shower every morning and slapping on some good ol' baby oil. It seems to work for me, I'll never fully get rid of it but over the past couple of years it's become less noticable.....I always like to remember the fact that even Kate Moss has cellulite, if she can deal with it, so can I!
