Hey ladies, I was curious if all of you have cellulite and if it is possible to make it go away. I have stripe alike things on my thighs and I hate them, thanks!

    i believe jillian michaels said that lunges (back and forward) will help with cellulite. unfortunately i dont think you can get rid of all of it, just some of it. if anyone has any other pointers i would love to know too.. i have way too many dimples as well. lol.

    Massage, some vitamins, some creams, heat (sauna/jaccuzi), those special vacuume suck machines they have at some spas, have all been proven to reduce the look of cellulite after several and regular treatments. Weight loss helps also but some area you may never be able to firm depending on your gentics. Good luck. I wish mine would just smooth out by itself but it doesn't seem to be that way.

    over the late summer/early fall of 2011, i did a round of insanity as well as religiously applying a light lotion on my thighs and bum every morning. as a result, my cellulite has more or less disappeared. i also drink loads of water!

    your amount of cellulite really depends on your genetics, though. some are more prone to it than others. unfortunately there's no tried and true way for getting rid of cellulite. for a temporary fix, get a nice tan on your legs! it makes the cellulite less noticable.

    Cellulite is fat. Remove fat- remove cellulite. Simple.

    I have a feeling that most or even all anti-cellulite creams do absolutely nothing and that it's just the rubbing motion that does the work. I heard that some women swear by rubbing sand on cellulite while at the beach. Just got to make sure you don't get a sun burnt butt while you're at it.

    I had cellulite when I was underweight. I do a lot of heavy training - squats, lunges, deadlifts, and I gained a few pounds and it helped TREMENDOUSLY. Basically my body fat is lower now which reduces the appearance of cellulite.

    I think deadlifts are very helpful especially.

    I had cellulite when I was a skinny teenager and weighed 103 pounds. I still have it, but it's a lot less noticeable since I started lifting heavy. I run, too, but running alone didn't do it.

    Cellulite isn't just about reducing body fat guys!!

    Even when I have been underweight I have cellulite dimples. I'm still overweight at the moment but my cellulite has improved significantly since cutting out alcohol.

    Best thing you can do to improve the look of cellulite is not to drink alcohol or caffeine, drink plenty of water. Massage helps as does plenty of exercise.

    I only have a teeny tiny bit left now. Personally, the only thing I found that got rid of it was lowering my body fat percentage. I've never had big issues with cellulite and it wasn't until I let myself go for a couple months and put on some weight that is showed up. Since I've been running and doing body resistance exercises it is almost diminished.

    Sadly, cellulite is dependent on your genetics I believe. Even some of the skinniest people have cellulite.

    I think that mine has gotten better since I have lost some body fat and gained muscle in my legs and butt. I do not have any on my legs but I still have some on my butt.

    I also just bought the Brazil But Lift and can tell that my butt is looking better.

    I also dry brush my skin because I heard that rejuvenates the skin and I use and eat coconut oil. This has made my skin look better, so since my skin looks better the cellulite does not look as bad.

    Hey there firstly those vacum suck machines are **** (excuse my french) I would advice people to save their money !! Being someone who has always had problems with her lower half and has tried everything, i thought i would give that vacum suck therapy a go along with a re-drainage therapy that followed. The vacum therapy was an hour long an the re drainage 40mins. i had 6 sessions of each over the space of 6 weeks and WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. Over 300euro down the drain !! We all have cellulite and i dont think that exercise along can get rid of it, whats more important is the foods you eat. Coffee, smoking and of course fatty foods are terrible for cellulite !! plus you need to be drinking lots of water to get rid of the toxins. They say brushing your skin towards the heart works but again only in conjunction with everything else !!
