You don't make it sound as if he's pushing for this, but as if it's you that is ashamed of your own body and worried because you weigh more than he does. I don't understand kg measurements, so have no clue about your weight...what's that in pounds? Can't tell if you're very overweight or just slightly. However, regardless of that, he asked you to marry him at your CURRENT weight, right? So why the sudden shame? Can the upcoming wedding be causing you to start focusing on your weight? You have to really want to lose the weight to be successful.

But now you come down to worrying about whether you're going to have some cellulite remaining after. Most likely...yes. Will it show up badly? That's all dependent on many factors. If you haven't been grossly overweight for way too long, you have a better chance of losing some of it. Being young provides you an even better chance. Everyone's body/skin is different. Some bounce back better than others. HOWEVER...

Which is more shameful, carrying around the highly visible extra weight or POSSIBLY having some leftover, COVERABLE, cellulite?

Never EVER let worries about stretch marks, flab, or cellulite stop you from losing weight. Weight loss may help your self-esteem, but you may also need to seek some therapy for it if it's bad enough. But weight loss can help you health-wise as well.

For conversion purposes, 60 kg is about 130 lbs. 50 kg is about 110 lbs.

I have to tell you, cellulite is a COMPLETELY NORMAL PART OF BEING A WOMAN! I've known very slim, never overweight girls who still had cellulite. It's just dimply fatty bits, and almost all of us have fatty bits. Replacing fat with muscle (by lifting weights) helps, but getting rid of it entirely is probably an unreasonable goal if you have any intention of being healthy.

That said, since I've lost weight, I've lost lots of cellulite. I still have a bit, but my shape is nice, I look nice clothed and nekkid, I'm strong and toned and healthy and I recognize that I don't live in a fashion magazine--I live in the real world where women carry fat on their thighs and have rounded tummies.

And here's a secret: when they take photos of women for magazines, they AIRBRUSH the cellulite away. Having cellulite is completely normal. Focus on being healthy and strong and the rest will take care of itself.
