Cellulite at Goal - Did It Go Away?

Please tell me cellulite goes away at goal. Please.

Mine may have decreased a little, but didn't completely go away on the back of my legs.

I've heard it's lots and lots of squats but I believe genetics plays into it too. I want my butt back so I am doing lots and lots of squats and lunges.

I am still not at goal, but even when I was younger and at my goal weight, I had some cellulite. A lot of it is genetics.

Uh ... Not meaning to be harsh, just realistic, with this post.

Unless you're 18 years old, and you haven't lost and gained weight several (much less many) times before losing weight via WLS, you aren't going to wind up looking like a swimsuit model when you reach your weight goal.

BTW, most swimsuit model pix are airbrushed. About three women in the world look like we all think we deserve to look.

I gotta say I think there are some unrealistic ideas of what we're going to look like at goal. Most of us have really abused the bodies we were born with. We've stretched our skin and under-exercised our muscles for the most part, some of us for most of our lives. And we have not fed them the most nutritious foods or enough Water. Some of us have damaged our joints and spine. We aren't starting with a clean slate.

I say this really to say that we have so much to gain from WLS. But we should also be realistic about what we can expect as our best outcomes.

90% of women have cellulite (true statistic, not an exaggeration). Even skinny ones. Unless you are 20 years old and a model, you are going to have cellulite.

Here's an article with some tips for how you might be able to reduce cellulite:

At goal and I still have some cellulite on my legs. I run 3 mornings a week, walk 3 mornings a week, zumba one night a week, and body pump 2 nights a week. In body pump we do about 1000 to 1200 reps in an hour. Lots of those are squats and lunges and I still have some. It is better, but it does not go away like magic.

me too! my butt was getting small, so I started doing squats, lunges and flunges (flying lunges).

I've heard it's lots and lots of squats but I believe genetics plays into it too. I want my butt back so I am doing lots and lots of squats and lunges.

My niece who is 15 and tiny has cellulite. So obviously it's not dependent on weight.
