Cellulite

I have awful cellulite on my thighs, so much so that my younger brother always asks about it and I feel self conscious in public. As I lose fat and build muscle will the cellulite lessen?

    Building muscle helped me the most. That being said, there's still a bit way up at the top of the leg, but reasonable length shorts are more than adequate now to cover that part.

    Not sure how related this is, but after doing a lot of mostly gardening, but also yoga, walking, and swimming over the last few months, the backs of my legs are a lot smoother. I've only lost 17 pounds thus far.

    When I started running regularly, the cellulite I had on my thighs disappeared. No one was more surprised than me.

    Genetics is to blame for whatever cellulite you have, but losing fat and toning up with lessen the look of it, but it will never completely disappear....so embrace it !! ;)

    If you're lucky: Yes, it will go away with fat loss. If you're not: You're in good company, most of us have to just deal with it.

    Pretty much everyone has cellulite. Don't worry about it.

    Everyone has cellulite. No matter how skinny. But let me tell you from experience it definitely lessens after building muscle and losing fat. I have decreased mine significantly in the short amount of time that I've been strictly logging & working out.

    How long have you been working out?

    Why are you allowing your little brother to make conversation with you about your body?
