Cellutie

[layona]

Ladies, has anyone noticed an increase of cellutie appearence on there thighs and behind? I caught a glimps of myself on a 2way mirror today and i freaked out. I have dimples all over my thighs, and behind. Is there anything that can be done to decrease the appearance? will they go away? or am i stuck with them.

You just need to cut down on the sugar altogether...if you have a craving for sugar...eat watermelon or some kind of fruit to curb the cravings!!  ( I know easier said than done....) also, excercise!!!  Walking and doing lunges do wonders...like I said 3-4 days a week, 3 sets of 15-20 lunges using a comfortable weight (not over 20 lbs)...it should definately burn at the start of the last set!!!

I would be careful with those cellulite creams while pregnant, a lot of them contain caffeine which is not recommended while pregnant.  However...Emmiemac, you are right massaging them does reduce the appearance....I use an exfoliant body wash and massage it on while in the shower!!  

Unfortunately, cellulite is another thing that us woman are blessed with and it affects each and everyone of us differently, but we all have it or get it!!  

As far as streching goes..a lot of what we see is more apparant to us then to others, really...we think we are fatter then everyone sees, the pimple that may be only apparant to us, cellulite and stretch marks that are more intense when we look at it....stretch mark is another great gift of pregancy....yeah!!  Just stay hydrated, and use lotion.....I use emu oil lotion...but there are so many on the market today!!!

Good luck ladies!!  Remember we are all in the same boat.....you are not alone!!

Emmiemac you look great!!

well im only 23 and the ouside of my thighs are all dimply and the inside are covered in stretch marks as are my hips and a few on my belly and im only 23 weeks! im getting quite depressed about all of this as i use cream and oil every day make sure im well covered but its a losing battle my body is gonna be ruined! as for the cellulite ive heard if you massage cream into those places but it has to be a hard pinching motion to break down the fatty lumps under the skin you can keep it under control but it does hurt a bit doing this. if any 1 has any ideas on the stretch marks please let me know x

Yeah, well i don't know how old you are....but I was blessed with cellulite around 29-30 years old.  It is just something that all woman get unfortunately!!  The way to reduce the appearance though is to do lunges and squats....I still do 90 lounges with 10 lbs weights 4 days a week, and walk a lot!!  

The biggest culpruit of cellulite however is....SUGAR!! limit the intake...
