    only thing there is to do is lose weight. just stick with the calories mfp gave u and u will get there. do some form of exercise each day if u can. lifting can help tone things up a bit as well

    Quick question, are you on bc? I have had cellulite pretty much since I hit puberty, regardless of how much body fat I had. When I was on bc my cellulite was much more noticeable, now being off for a year and a half, even though my fat increased, I have very little cellulite.

    Lost fat through calorie deficit. Fixed up the cellulite with heavy lifting and deficit.

    Nope. Haven't been for 4 years. I'm on nothing but was going to start the pill again. I prob won't now that you said it gave you more cellulite. Thanks for the heads up!!

    I think it depends what kind you are on, I was on ortho tri to get my estrogen level up. I think it's just the ones with higher estrogen that can cause the cellulite. Progesterone dominant pills may be better

    Just a tip... bc effects everyone different. Did u notice big changes in ur body last time u were on it? If not dont take someone elses experience and expect it to be urs. I never noticed this when I was on it.

    Agreed. BC has different effects on everyone. The only thing I noticed was the not getting pregnant thing.
