I have read that the very best way to take care of cellulite is (wait for it) of course to lose extra fat but also to do lower body exercises with WEIGHTS to smooth things out. I think I've read thats THE most effective way.

There are no specific exercises to target fat in any specific area, which means we can't do a specific exercise to get rid of cellulite. You can, however, reduce your overall body fat percentage by good diet and exercise (including strength training), which, in turn, usually reduces cellulite.
Or you can spend your money on creams that reduce cellulite. I imagine they are right next to all the other fantasy creams out there, you know, like the "make your boobies really big creams" and such.

Everybody has connective tissue that separates fat cells into compartments. While men tend to have horizontal or crisscross patterns to those compartments, women’s compartments have a honeycomb appearance, giving fat a greater chance to protrude or bulge, hence the cottage-cheese effect.
As a result, women are more likely to develop cellulite than men, mainly around the hips and thighs. However, men can develop the condition, too. Although cellulite becomes more noticeable with age, largely because the skin gets thinner over time, it generally strikes individuals in their 30s.
Of course, not everybody will develop cellulite in their lifetime. That’s because genetics determines where your fat cells are and how many fat cells you have. Activity level is another crucial factor associated with cellulite. If you exercise regularly, you’ll decrease your odds of developing cellulite, or if you do, the dimpled look won’t be quite as pronounced.

cellulite
To have a body wihout any problem is the aim for every one but how can we have that if we have cellulite. I think it is a great problem that makes our body ugly. most of areas that are affected by cellulite can be found in thighs and sometimes in arms. If any one here had this problem and could overcome it successfully please tell us about her story with cellulite.

Cellulite is nothing but subcutaneous fat, although some people with low body fat percentage can have it, too. There is no "cure" for it, other than general lowering of body fat percentage, since "spot reducing" is a myth and external solutions have not proven effective.
As for having a body without any problems, well, all of our bodies have problems! The best we can do is minimize them.

Question about cellulite
Hey yall,
I am 29 years old, 5'5" and 143 lbs. I have cellulite on the fronts of my legs and I am trying to get rid of it. I have lost 16lbs so far and am trying to get to between 130-135 lbs. Does anyone think this will help my cellulite to go away. I have been walking and steadily losing weight, but I just can't seem to get this cellulite to go away. I am a pear shaped girl and so I hold most of my weight in my legs and hips but I just really want this to go away. Please advise. Thanks, Tuffy

gaining cellulite
Hi. I know I haven't written for a while. I was doing well, then went home from school for 3.5 weeks and gained about 8 pounds. Now I'm back on track. Although I'm not back down to where I was before I left for break, I'm on my way and I want to keep going after I get back there. My goal is 125 by the end of April.
I'm doing cardio (walking and running mostly), resistance training (only bodyweight exercises because they're what I like), and gymnastics twice a week. I'm losing weight and inches, but I've started noticing cellulite on my butt and the back of my upper thighs. I'm getting stronger there (it feels tighter) so I don't know why this is happening. anyone know why? or what I should do?

Cellulite
For people who have had cellulite before you lost weight::
Did you lose your cellulite?
If not, has it stayed the same? To what level has your cellulite changed?
I would appreciate any tips on losing cellulite besides diet and exercise-- I'm currently doing both.

Tom is 100% correct - cellulite is just fat like any other fat that is in your body. Yes, the way it forms gives it a certain appearance, but if you want to get rid of it, you need to get rid of the fat.
You may be required to get to a very low body fat percentage before the cellulite disappears, or you may not - everyone is different.
Many of the things that have been mentioned in this thread may help the appearance of cellulite to be minimal, but if you want it to actually go away, you need to lower your body fat percentage. As is always the case, the number on a scale is not as important as your level of body fat. You can weigh very little and still have a higher level of body fat than is healthy.
I wouldn't recommend that anyone runs out and becomes a bodybuilder (unless they want to, of course), but have you ever seen a successful bodybuilder with cellulite? No, because their body fat percentage is so low that it's just not physically possible for that body fat storage to still be there.

Cellulite!
So...does it ever go away when you lose weight or is it one of those things you are stuck with?
I am not that large at the moment...around 157 pounds and am 5' 6"ish. Even at my biggest I was only around 168 pounds but I still have a heap of cellulite on my bum and the back of my thighs. Will this go away if I slim down?
If not has anyone tried any treatment that has been effective at getting rid of cellulite?

Beachjunkie, Tom, and Thinktowin are the most accurate on here.
Yeah, there is no "cure" or whatever. From what I heard, you just might want to get in shape, get muscular, and eat right. It's your best bet, LOL! Um, but I've heard a few things.......
* Avoid processed and refined foods which contain excess salt, sugar or fat.
* Follow a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, beans and legumes. These high fiber foods help eliminate waste and toxins.
* Reduce your intake of coffee, tea, sugar, salt and alcohol
Also, I read this:
1. Strengthening blood vessels / increasing blood flow
2. Encouraging the production of connective tissue
3. Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin
4. Attracting water to the cells
5. Repairing cell membranes
6. Reducing waste water (from leaky cells)
7. Preventing free-radical damage
8. Reducing inflammation
9. Promoting exfoliation
All this can be assisted with eating an anti-inflammatory diet that is basically devoid of highly processed foods, high salt, high sugar, and high caffeine, and eating fruits, veggies, salmon, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. That, cardio, and weight training and you got the tools you need, although yeah, it's LARGELY GENETIC.
Still, eat clean, get the sweat flowing, and weight train twice a week, then come back here and tell me if you see any difference. I'm curious if anyone who complains about cellulite actually tried all this.....
