Default A few questions about the usual...

I just have some questions for those with any experience in the cellulite/loose skin department...

1) This might be a really stupid question so I apologize but where else can I ask it lol?
How do you tell the difference between loose skin and fat?
I feel like I might be beginning to see loose skin, which I understand comes with the territory. But at the same time, I can't really be sure if it's fat or just skin. I realize this sounds ridiculous!

2) Does cellulite go away?
Or at lease the majority of it? I am riddled with cellulite just about anywhere one can imagine

Obviously I am willing to accept both of these problems so it isn't that I'm necessarily freaking out about it. I'm just very curious lol.
I'm losing weight for health and I know that I will never wear a bikini and that's perfectly fine with me

So... does anyone know?

If you had loose skin you would know it.It looks like what it sounds like, loose skin that you can pick up in your hands. Just baggy, loose skin, just hanging there.
