Cellulite?
 
I feel like my legs are getting worse and worse.. I'm just wondering does it look much better after some weightloss? I know it's not going to go away but I need some hope! Any tips?

I think more than losing just weight, it will slightly go away / not look at bad the more you tone your body as well. The cellulite on my legs was kinda bad, but after running a lot more & incorporating strength training for my legs, it got a lot better!

Strength training does wonders for cellulite.

It's not just due to fat content, it also has to do with genetics. Even thin people have cellulite. One of my best friends is a size 4/6 and her stomach is covered in it. Creams and gels and all that stuff don't work.

I will probably always have cellulite in the back of my thighs. I've had it ever since I knew what it was. While it does slightly bother me, I won't let it rule me. It is what it is. I will never have those lovely smooth thighs.


I did read about a treatment (laser??) that reduces it. Very expensive and painful.

Thanks everyone, I'll work harder on that the more weight comes off.
