Cellulite
 

Has anyone else thought that as they lost weight, they gained cellulite??

I was always big, but I was smooth - now I am more jiggly and LUMPY.

:(

Yep, my butt is not a pretty site right now. I HOPE as I get smaller it smoothes back out. =P

I've always had a lot of cellulite. I haven't done any research on it to see if it goes away, but I know it decreased drastically last time I lost weight.

OMgosh yes!

There are mornings when I look at myself and think "god at least fatter I was not all lumpy and saggy! Things were firm and smooth"

Glad to know its not just me.

Not noticing a difference with cellulite, but I'm definitely more lumpy :dizzy:

I'm not too worried though, since the lumpy-ness is going IN instead of out now. I actually find it kinda funny and awesome now that I'm used to it, since my body tends to burn away fat in pockets, leaving the skin sucked in where the fat used to be, like a little crater. Just means my waist/hips/legs/butt are getting smaller now :D

My issue is more with sagging but I do have problems with cellulite.
What really helps me is vigorous massage toward the heart in the shower with a wet towel. A day or two after I really go at it, my cellulite smooths out quite a bit and any fluid I'm retaining seems to disappear.

I don't know if cellulite can be caused by different things, like fat and/or fluid but it helps. Skin brushing did nothing!

OMG, that actually does sound cool!

I can't see my btm, so I don't know how it is. I don't think I had much cellulite to start with. If we're talking saggy now, my lower apron is like old, cold dough - but smoooooth!

If I remember right, :dizzy: cellulite is fat that is poking through breaks in the connective tissue under the skin. Massage definitely is good for it!

Do you guys exercise? I have noticed my cellulite getting better from the running I have been doing. There is still plenty of it, though. ~sigh~ As long as my dimply butt looks good in jeans...
