Knee2010 54 Posted May 30, 2012 I still have a nice shape to my thighs (at least on the front side lol) but I have noticed that if I apply pressure with my hand and rub my thighs I can feel what I'm guessing are small "fat balls" underneath the skin. I'm worried as I lose more weight these will start showing up as cellulite/cottage cheese. Does anybody else have this issue? I was thinking of buying some kind of vibrating/massage thing like those 3 or 4 legged ones that state they are for the back that you can get at Bed Bath & Beyond, but I'm thinking of using it with a lot of pressure on my thighs to try and "break up" these fat balls before they become noticible. I've never had any kind of massage so I'm just guessing/grasping at straws as to whether or not something like this could help. Any ideas? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted May 30, 2012 It could be worth a try. But I don't see it happening if it hasn't happened already. You have lost a significant amount of weight! Great job! Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChaChaBurch 60 Posted May 30, 2012 I have a friend who is Kindergarten teacher. She had a tremendous amount of cellulite on her thighs. She had heard about using a wooden rolling pin - the kind you use of pie crusts. She used it twice a day for 6 weeks, and almost all of her cellulite "smoothed" out. I haven't tried it, but I think that will be something I'll have to try soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knee2010 54 Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks ChaCha, I think I will give it a try. It surely can't hurt and who knows, it might just help. It kinda makes sense that if I massage it/apply pressure then it might help "break it up" and then be less noticible. I'm hoping I can convince my husband that I "need" this to be done nightly and see if I can get him onboard to do it for me. That sounds like a perfect recipe for a good nights sleep. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alliegb3 112 Posted May 30, 2012 It's the pint of getting circulation going through your legs. If you massage them, put lotion on them, roll them, put caffeine on them.... It'll work. Just get the circulation flowing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finding MeMe 204 Posted May 31, 2012 If it works please tell me beause I am skeptical. I think that only lots of quads and hamstring exercises will tone up those lumps. Recommend a good lowerbody program like lunges, squats, and classes like step aerobics and cycling to work those legs. I wish you luck but please let me know if the rolling pin and massage machine works for you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
