Diana - Thanks, yes, I think you're right, that cellulite can diminish but it doesn't go away after it's been formed. Maybe in some rare cases it does, but in my experience it just diminishes. Which is fine! Back when I was in better shape the cellulite I'd already had did get much less pronounced. I'm hoping the new spots where I've gotten it fade just as much if not more as I lose weight. I'll let you guys know.
Sundove - Thank you, that's good to hear that it diminished at goal! I understand about getting gaunt. A few years ago I was really into clean eating and strength training. As a result, I lost weight when I didn't need to, and got to that gaunt level too. I didn't like it so deliberately gained back about 10 pounds. I'm hoping that the cellulite in different areas of my body have their own behaviors. For example, the spot on the back of my thighs has been there since I was a teenager. It never goes completely away but does significantly diminish, even though it remains visible. I would love though if the spots I've now developed on the inside of my upper arms diminish to the point of not being visible unless I squeeze the skin there. Only time will tell, I guess!
It's said that cellulite is genetic - you're either predisposed to it and a certain degree of it or not. That certainly appears to be the case. My sister has always been naturally very thin (size 0 or 2 thin). She's now in her late 30s, still thin, and has developed some cellulite on the front of her thighs right above her knees in the same spot I have. Hers is much less noticeable though, so I'm hoping that when I lose weight mine looks more like hers. I know I shouldn't care about this, but it's the one physical thing that I'm the most self-conscious about.
Our mom struggled with her weight. For most of her adult life she was at least 30 pounds overweight and often much more. Yet my mom never had any cellulite! So yeah, I guess it's a "born this way" kinda thing.
