Losing Weight And Cellulite....

[MeredithMcFee 98]

Wondering if there are those on here who were "blessed" {not} with cellulite on their thighs prior to surgery, if so, after losing weight, { I have to lose 75lbs in all} with exercise, has it diminished to some degree? I realize it can be due to many reasons, age, {I'm 57} hereditary, { my mother and her family} and a host of other things. A neighbor of mine who is 59 lost a good amount of weight within the last year on South Beach and she has been spinning and has said she has lost alot of cellulite due to spinning. Being that I'm just 3 weeks out from surgery, down 15lbs, and seeing inches melting away on me, my cellulite looks worse at this moment. I know, in the big scheme of things, losing the weight will be the best part, but just wondering.

Meredith, I am concerned with the same thing. I've seen people loose a lot of weight and loose a lot of cellulite too. But I've also seen some people not loose much cellulite. I think exercise,(not my fave) is key. I'm 46 and haven't even had the surgery yet. This is a big concern of mine as well as my chin and face sagging. Good luck to us! JEN

I have cellulite, especially on the front of my thighs (lovely). It should lessen as you lose weight, but also if you can build muscle in that area, that helps too. Unfortunately there is really no way to get rid of it completely. Try different exercises with weights for your legs. Lots of Water too!

Thanks,

It is lovely isn't it!....Exercise and water! Two great ways to help get rid of most of it, hopefully! What kind of Protein supplement do you like best??

Right now I'm drinking Premier Protein ready made shakes (get them at Costco). They are chocolate and taste pretty good! Also low sugar/carb & 30gms of Protein. I had a fill last week and I'm pretty tight, so I need liquids in the mornings.
