I was wondering if any one had any advice on how to get rid of cellulite? I never had a problem with this until after the birth of my second daughter Elysecia; she turned two Aug.31st. I was on the depo-shot and that may have played a part in me getting cellulite; besides I do eat a lot of bread. I do not wear shorts or skirts which I use to wear often. PLEASE HELP! I need advice on what exercises to perform at this point I will try anything.

What can I do next?

Hi E.,
Aerobic exercise is one of the fastest ways to lose fat. You will also want to start doing leg exercises, like lunges, squats. There are a lot of exercise videos you can get to do at home that are excellent. I would highly recommend the new Jeri Love videos, Kathy Smith, The Firm (the older workouts are better and use less "tools" than the newer ones), Kari Anderson (best aerobic ones out there with no tools required), Gin Miller & her Reebok videos....I could go on and on. Also, I know it sounds silly, but soda pop is a big factor in cellulite. Stop drinking soda and start drinking a lot of water- at least 8 8oz. glasses/day. Diet is important in everything we do, so make sure you get some good diet advice. A diet that restricts something, other than empty calories (junk food), is not a good diet to be on. In fact, rather than worry about diet, look more into life changes.
Good luck with that and hopefully you'll be able to get rid of the cellulite soon!

Cellulite isn't just something that you can put cream on and it will go away. It's fat and the only way to get rid of fat is to turn it into muscle. Exercise and diet are the things that change that. Leg and Thigh toners help and then you have to keep it up all the time or else it will turn back into fat. If the Depo shot is making you gain weight get off it. I have heard that the birth control pill Yasmin doesn't make you gain weight like most BCPs do. I wish I could tell you some miracle cream or pill, but there isn't one. Most of the pills that are on the market aren't very good for you and help you with rapid weight loss, but won't keep the weight off. Good luck with it.

All great comments you have recv'd. Diet and exercise are huge!!! But unfortuantley cellulite still happens. One product you need to check out is from Arbonne. It is a topical two step cream that is botanically based and effective. It is also patent pending to prove it really does help dimish the appreance of cellulite. It is called Figure 8 VANISH!!!!

I use it and happen to sell it... you can check it out...

well there are some good topical creams out there that will help mask it, but not completely correct the problem, I know Avon has a good one, and they also introducted a lifting type lotion, but still not permanent results. I buy skinproducts from a Dr. Murad, you can find him online at murad.com I believe. Anyway he has a program for getting rid of cellulite and he quarantees that it will work. There is a book and some products he sells, he might even have it in a bundled package. I know part of the key is drinking a lot of water. Once cellulite is there it generally will not completely go away, however his program will make the appearance and the surface much more appealing, and if it is not too bad, probably would make it disappear. It is worth a shot. I know that there are also some laser type treatments that plastic surgeons and body shaping companies are doing that is suppose to smooth the look, but I know that are very expensive and I don't think they are a permanent solution. I wish you the best.

I have no advice on the celluite, but I wanted to say- DO NOT GET DEPO!!!!!!! It is sooooooooooo bad for you!!! Research it, it is really not good.

I have the IUD- the one with the hormones in it. It is wonderful! It's safe (b/c of the small amount of hormones in it) and it is just as effective as having your tubes tied. It last 5yrs or if you want another baby before then you can have it taken out and get pregnant right away. Ask your Dr about it. My midwife highly recommended it. So I researched it and it sounded great... and it is!

Also- you do not have to remember pills and it does not make you gain weight.

First try getting off of the Depo Shot. If you are like me and forget to take your pill or dont like them, they make a Nuvo Ring that you insert every 30 days...Eating alot of bread is not good. Bread and potatoes are my weakness too. I started taking Trim Spa (2 in the morning, 1 before lunch and 1 before dinner)...30 minutes prior to eating with lots of water. I take walks with my son in the afternoon during the week at least 30 minutes. I just put him in his stroller and walk/run about 2-4 miles five days a week before it gets dark. The celluite will eventually start coming off. If you like doing sit ups/crunchs, that works too. Start off doing a min of 50 in the morning when you get and 50 at night before you go to bed.

Hi E.,

Avon had a great product called Slim and Sleek Leg Perfector for the Avon Solutions line. It fims skin on contact and works to smooth the apperance of cellulite after just two weeks. This and exercises that isolate your hamstrings, butt and thighs will work wonders. Check Slim and Sleek Leg Perfector out at www.youravon.com/stellapayne or give me a call at ###-###-#### and I will give you a good deal if you would like to try it.
