Cellulite?

I was just wondering about cellulite.  I have it mostly on my butt and thighs - now even on the front of my thighs.  I was just wondering if with working out and diet if it eventually goes away.  What have you experienced with this?   Have you noticed that it shrunk with the diet and exercise or did you use creams, or is this something we (I) just live with?


Thanks.

I have noticed a huge decrease in cellulite.

I am in your boat. Good grief, I hope it gets better. The deal with cellulite is that it's fat cells that increase in size and get pushed through the fine "mesh" of our muscle (or something like that. Picture a screen and just sort of pushing playdoh or something through it is how I've heard it described. Nice huh?) From person to person some of our muscle tissue is genetically more or less prone to cellulite (kind of like the stretch mark issue). So, if you decrease your fat, it's going to want to show less. Does that make sense?

It does diminish as you lose weight and firm up your muscles.
