So now that I can work out with weights, I need to know what is the best exercise for upper thighs ? My legs look like the skin is melting off and has tons of celulite on them? I dont care what I look like in a pair of short shorts this is the area just above my knee though. I've been reading that several reps of low weights at least 5 x a week is good? Any advice out there?

Lunges - rear, curtesy, forward . Squats - plié, wide. Work your adductors. Dead lifts.

You can find examples on you tube.

Are you asking what kind of workout to do to make your thighs smaller or to make the cellulite go away? Unfortunately, I don't think any type of exercise is going to diminish cellulite. I noticed some stretch marks right above my hips a few weeks ago. I've been applying lotion to the area twice per day and I notice a difference. Unfortunately, nothing really makes those go away permanently (except maybe some sort of plastic surgery).

Actually working the legs will diminish the appearance of cellulite. It won't go away completely as its mostly genetic. Creams etc do not work but those companies will happily take your money.

A healthy diet and exercise are the way to go.

Good luck!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
