Cellulite and accepting it is okay to have

Squuuuuaaaattttts all day long girl

@magnoliamarie i do squats and leg presses, but i dont think i work my legs enough which could be the issue!

Lunges and dead lifts. get it girlllll

I feel like cellulite doesn't go away no matter what you do if its hereditary. I don't know if there's truth to this or not but I feel the same way as you. My mom/grandmother both have cellulite on their upper thighs so I think for me, it is what it is.

Great job on the weight loss, that's impressive!

I'm a size 4/6 and I have cellulite. It doesn't matter how much I work out, how well I eat, I will always have it. It's genetic and I've had a baby. I didn't get stretch marks, but I have dimples on my arse. I still wear a bikini in the summer. Why, because I don't give a fuck. I still have great boobs, and a six pack. My cellulite will always be there and no one cares, FH thinks I'm fuckable and that's all that matters.

Thank you all! I have had cellulite for what seems like forever. I will eventually get to the stage where i have accepted it, and feel beautiful in my own body! I know i wont get rid of it completely, i just want to tone some more!

Unfortunately I don't think you can really target cellulite (believe me, I wish it weren't so). I've read that tanning your legs can somewhat reduce its visibility, so you could try some sunless tanning cream.

I'm just closing my eyes and repeating mentally that he loves me, thinks I'm beautiful (even my massive butt/thighs...actually especially those), and doesn't notice even a fraction of all the bodily imperfections that I do.

Lunges, squats, donkey kicks and fire hydrants are almost a daily for me!

In 5ft 4 110lb and was a dancer for 8 years, I still had/have cellulite! It is genetic for me. Embrace your dimples! If you are super worried about it vitamins A,E, and C are supposed to help if you use it on the area

Kind of fortunately, cellulite doesn't discriminate. You can be a size 18, 8, or 0 and still have dimples. Realizing the majority of the population of women, despite size and fitness level, offers some comfort. And when in doubt- just google cellulite photos of ScarJo, Kim K, and Paris Hilton

One thing that I've noticed made a nice improvement. has been fascia rolling. I use a warming lotion on my legs, hips, and butt, then have FH "roll me out" a few minutes every other night.

In the gym, make sure your doing squats with weights and not just body weight squats, deadlifts are a God send (ask a staff member to show you the proper way so you don't injure yourself), and upping the amount of weights on the leg press while varying foot position.

I would like to think I'm pretty fit, and I have cellulite on my ass and thighs.

The area that is "the back of your legs" is called your hamstrings, and you can't JUST work out your hammies to get rid of cellulite, or to improve the appearance of your legs without looking disproportionate. It's like people who ONLY do squats - you need to work out all the muscles in your legs, not just one muscle, not just one exercise.

Topically, I'm currently using Brazilian Bum Bum Cream which you can purchase from Sephora. I noticed a difference within 4 days. It gives the "appearance" of smoother skin (which most, if not all of these products do), but it doesn't get rid of cellulite.

It happens to the best of us. I'd just accept it and move on. At 120 I had it and tried everything, even coffee scrubs. Just be healthy and do your best to accept your body.

I noticed that running helped to shrink it up and make it less noticeable, but obviously you can never get rid of it (unfortunately!).

Yeah thin or not cellulite is not something I've ever been able to get rid of. Water helps minimize some. I wear maxi dresses a lot but finally just had to say oh well. You've already done an amazing job getting fit - try not to stress too much about this

As PP's have said, it doesn't ever completely go away. Working out your hamstrings will help a bit though. there are some exercises you can do with your body weight or you can look for a leg curl machine at the gym. Regardless, be proud of your body, I'm sure your hard work shows!!!

Cellulite is sexy. End of story.

Oh and a really good article: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-cellulite-forever/

I don't think you can really get rid of cellulite tbh.

I am a size 0 and have had cellulite ever since I hit puberty pretty much. It used to bother me but honestly I've never seen a woman who doesn't have it! So I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to waste time hating something I couldn't change. I love my body.

Thank you everyone!! I think to me it is more of a mental acceptance! I appreciate all the feed back!

Sadly, there is nothing that can be done about cellulite. Cellulite is just a made up term and really it's just how we define the way your body lumps the adipose tissue together. Squats and other muscle building activity can help bulk your muscles in those problem areas and can help "hide" them somewhat, but realistically, they're there for life. Everyone has these fatty stores, but people with thin, pale skin tend to show it off the most. I have found that for a temporary "fix" a deep tissue massage in the fatty areas can help disperse the fat lumps for a day or two. In all reality though, embrace it. Everyone has it... even super models, they just get to airbrush them out of pictures.

My biggest word of advice. Fat cells NEVER go away. We can shrink them, but once they're there... they're there for life (unless you them sucked out of you... but that brings other problems). The best thing you can do is not get anymore fat cells (easier said than done, of course). It sounds like you're on the right track of eating healthy and exercising!

I'm going to put this out there even though I'm sure it's an UO. Unless you are an elite athlete, you should not be going to the gym twice a day under any circumstances. You shouldn't even be going once a day without at least one FULL day of rest. It's just not safe for many reasons, and it's very possible for excessive exercise to do damage to your body. Also, you can't lose fat in specific places. Cellulite is a fact of life for women, and there's nothing for it other than an eating disorder.

There is nothing wrong with going to the gym twice a day on occasion. So long as you're not obsessive over it and spending half your day in the gym. I will often go for a run in the morning before work and do a weights workout after work because I don't have the time before/after work to do both. I do agree you should try to give yourself at least one day a week as a rest day so you don't burn yourself out.

It sounds like you're on the right track with eating healthy and exercising. Leg workouts can't get rid of cellulite. I build muscle naturally very quickly and my legs are solid muscle and I still have cellulite. Everyone has it; it doesn't matter. FH loves every inch of me. If you are looking to tone up and firm up, leg press, squats, bridges, lunges, and kickbacks will all bring great muscle definition. No one will even notice any cellulite

Also, it may just be the placebo effect but Target does sell a Nivea Firming Cream lotion specifically targeted for your booty and legs. I still have my little cellulite pockets but I like to think my skin is looking firmer!
