    Default How to get rid of that last bit of cellulite???

    Ladies, I've been on a strict program the last couple months and I have good results, getting definition all over, but I STILL can't get rid of that little bit of cellulite on the upper portion of my thighs, on the side back. It's just a small spot but dammit I want. it. gone! I exercise, drink loads of water and eat mostly chicken, fish, fruit/veggies and brown rice. I allow one cheat day per week but it's a small cheat. Not the whole day, just like one meal or something. The only thing I haven't changed is soda (switched to diet but still drinking 1-3 sodas on the nights I work).

    How do you get rid of that little bit of cellulite?????? My abs, back, legs and arms are looking good. WTF is up with the one stubborn area?

    Bridgette even super skinny women have cellulite. Not sure if all of it will ever go away. Also the slightest weight flucuation can bring it back.

    I dunno on certain days i think i see dimples on the backs of my upper thighs, then other days it's gone....so it seems.

    I do lots of dry brushing, and use a roller and go up and down my thighs until it hurts bad.

    I think this breaks up the bands of fat, but it friggin hurts, and i have been black and blue. You can feel them if you get deep enough, so yea i have the potential to get cellulite BAD.

    Keep working the area with touch. Lots of deep massage, and rolling until it hurts.

    Good luck,
    Pamela

    As was stated above, all of us have cellulite no matter if we work hard to get rid of it. However, I have seen some improvement when I use one of the lotions(availble in drugstores) that are made for reducing the appearance of cellulite. The caffeine-content is one of the active ingredients. Jergens makes a good one as does other brands that I can't think of at the moment.......

    I suggest cutting back on the soda..I have heard that soda causes cellulite. I have no cellulite..I use Folger's instant coffee crystals and mix it with water for a home made mask and apply it to my thights and butt area ate least once per mth. (I learned it from a cellulite spa treatment)
    I also exfoliate every other day and apply regular masks on my body every week or 2. Last but not least, I moisturize like crazy with shea butter & Nivea skin firming lotion.

    Hum. Coffee crystals huh? How much water to how much coffee? I'm assuming you mix it to a paste consistency.

    Right on with the lotions, I do use Nivea skin firming lotion too. How often do you ladies apply it? I use it once a day.

    Cut back on the sodas. Eck that's gonna be tough. I switched to diet but think I still need the caffeine. What else does one use as a small pick me up without the sugar or caffeine?

    I tried the brushing but can't seem to get it to work right. Dunno if I'm just not motivated enough to brush my legs for half an hour or what LOL! Keep thinking of a million other things I need to be doing.

    I have noticed some improvement in the area, but dammit I want it GONE!!! Why is it so hard to get rid of such a small spot?!?!?!

    I have the same problem B. I used to work out ALOT, and my cellulite never totally disappeared. I have it pretty bad now, but about a month of dancing and working out and most of it will be gone. I am gonna try hard to get rid of the last of it now though. I've never tried the coffee masks.

    Bridgette I have the same problem as you do! It is that small little area on the outside of your thighs under your butt right! I eat healthy, work out, drink water and yeah I allow cheat days too. As for soda I drink diet and regular occasionaly but I do not know how much that would contribute to that damn cellulite because it only has 30 mmg of sodium and I am sure that is not enough to contribute major water retention. I am currently using Estee Lauder's anti-cellulite serum. It is 50 bucks for a 12oz bottle I think. So far I think I am getting good results. The area of skin if nothing eles looks smoother. I hope this helps you. And if you find the cure for cellulite Bridgette let me know!

    I have tried a few good cellulite creams too. Decleor and Clarins make good ones. But I like the coffee masks the best, its cheap as hell and I see results right away. :wink:
    B, try drinking iced coffee or iced tea for your caffine fix. I usually use 1-2 tablespoons of coffee grounds and add water to make a paste. I also apply lotion 2-3 times per day. I learned that from a dancer who was 32 with perfectly toned skin. She looked around 25 !

    Bridgette, try drinking green tea insted of sodas,I have heard its the cabonation that causes cellulite.Green tea is suppose to help burn fat too. Also what about that tonalin farrah uses she said that tones skin.Also maybe add more protein and try avons cellusculpt it works good and is only 16$.My friend said yeas ago I had some cellulite then it was gone and I was doing alot of cardio then and eating really good.It took about 8 months for it to go away but I dont think it ever went away completly its just less noticible.

    It's probably the sodas.

    What else does one use as a small pick me up without the sugar or caffeine?
    I've heard root beer is the least offensive of the sodas...it doesn't have phosphoric acid like the others so it doesn't leach stuff out of your body. Maybe a caffeine-free, sugar free root beer would satisfy?

    hey b,
    I had to give up soda per dentist's request after getting some work done.
    I didnt know what kind of effects drinking water instead would have on my body until about a month later in the mirror. It is very likely that the caffine is not HELPING the cellulite situation.

    Sorry Michelle I am not trying to sound bitchy but where did you hear carbination causes cellulite? I am really just curious because I do like to drink carbonated sparkilng water when I get sick of regular flat water. I am really just checking to see if you got this info from a reliable source.

    I have read several aricles in magazines.Also a women I use to work with who was definitely much older than the rest of us by at least 10 years told me that and she didnt have one drop of cellulite.Who knows if its true. Alot of the things they have been saying about cellulite they are now saying are not true,like its trapped toxins. most doctors say its just fatty deposits and has nothing to do with toxins so who knows.I do know cellusclulpt works good because I was trying on close yeterday in a bright as hell dressing room and had the dual mirrors one in front and behind me and my legs had almost zero cellulite were I did before.So everyone try some avon cellusculpt, give it a good 6 months.

    There ya have it. Yes, you are going to have to give up the carbonated beverages. Tons of links out there if you do a search on carbonation, weight loss, etc.

    This suggestion is horrible and takes forever and might not work for everyone....I had NO celluite for a year, in 2001. How, you ask? One meal a day and Diet Coke all day and a forty hour workweek with a hard labor job. I ruined the enamel on my teeth with the soda, though.
    So...find a way to make your stomach shrink, so you need less food, and then your body will correspondingly store less fat.
    (Don't hate on me just yet, right now I'm trying to get back to that weight....I have to force myself to exercise....my magic reminder is thinking of my friend who is in Navy SEAL boot camp [BUDS] and reminding myself, If people can do that, I can get off my ass and run a mile!)

    Lots of suggestions. Guess I'm gonna have to give up the soda. Looking for a new energy boost now....

    I drink tons of water and exercise and eat well. My program is strict as hell. Also use the tonalin and protein supplements. I have noticed some improvement in the cellulite area but the biggest improvement I've seen is EVERYWHERE else. Muscle definition and even veins starting to pop. Abs and back are kicking. It's just that one little spot on the thighs that won't go away dammit! It has improved a little, but I want it gone and I'm starting to think I'll have to have lipo to totally get rid of it in this decade.....

    Hi bridget,

    Youare doing the right thing by taking care of your eating habits and most of all, drinking a lot of water (2liters is the minimal/day). The once a weak cheat is ok, it helps keeping you on the diet. But, the soda? It is pure sugar! Carbs and sugar! Don't think that because you drink diet it is ok. Didn't you notice that the diet sodas are sweeter than the regular ones? It is worse because first it is sweeteners instead of real sugar and it is cancerous, and it makes you more thirsty and makes you drink more sodas. It also makes you addicted to sweet. In short, it is better to drink a regular than a diet. Also, you seem to be in pretty good shape except for this small spot of cellulite. You can get rid of it if you reduce the sodas (make it a cheat one a week) and do endermologie and/or ultrasound. The results are impressive! If you are interested, contact me directly at [email protected].

    body brushing.. if you do a search on google alot of stuff comes up with details i cant remember
    but i first heard about a few years ago when following alternative medicine news.. its an old method of skin care used by natural nuts and ayrevedic medicine (ancient indian medicine)

    anyways!!!
    Basically at least once a day.. preferably prior to batheing .. while skin is dry
    get a body brush and do the whole body
    start at the feet.. doing motions brushing towards the heart... spend a few minutes on each body section
    brushing towards the heart means such as when doing your arms.. start at your wrists and brush upwards.. hence towards the heart.. your upper chest you would brush downwards..
    the whole process should take about 10 minutes
    you can do the face as well but avoid the eye area and ive also read before to avoid your nipples

    best to bathe after to wash away all the skin flakes
