cellulite should die :(

as i loose weight i get cellulite!! can someone tell me whats going on, and then tell me what the hell to do to stop or get rid of the appearance of cellulite.. i used to love to swim but now that im so aware of how gross my body will look no matter what weight im iffy on just going out in shorts. oh god im sad. help?

Dry body brushing (in the direction of your heart) before you bath/shower. Massage in some oil afterwards. Generally, for cellulite, they all say 'diet, massage, exercise' which is why it's odd that you're getting more. 

Jump rope!  Try a few minutes each day until you work up to 15 minutes.  Great for cellulite!

Now...where's my jump rope..... :)

MOST people have cellulite. It tends to be an inherited trait. You can't get rid of it. All those tricks and tips are near worthless and work only temporarily at best. Nobody cares that you have cellulite. They're all too worried about and self-conscious of their own. I suggest you learn to accept yourself the way you are. I know that's easier said than done but it's a whole hell of a lot easier and less time consuming to learn to love yourself than it is to try to figure out how to get rid of cellulite, which is impossible, I am sorry to say.

If you get out there in your swimsuit and smile, laugh, be happy, and show confidence, NOBODY is going to look at or notice your cellulite. In fact, if anybody DOES happen to see it, they'll say "Look at how confident that girl is! I think I'm gonna get in my suit and get out there too!" :) Seriously! :) :)

alayney's right, there's nothing you can do. I'm a healthy weight, active (lift weights + run which is supposed to decrease it), drink copious amounts of water, don't smoke or drink a lot of caffeine, massage the back of my thighs and guess what? I've still got it.

I don't have a lot, but it upsets me to no end too, but there's not much you can do other than learn to live with it.

i read your topic and had to join in! i get it in the weirdest places too--as i've lost weight, i've gotten two little streaks on my forearms!!! i mean seriously! my forearms??? but they look like scars and aren't that noticeable, so whatever, i guess :)

some ppl are more prone to it than others, too. which sucks, but is a reality of life.  i just try to keep super moisturized. i figure as i get thinner it'll become less visible, and i've heard tanning reduces the appearance, also.

its hard to work around cellulite because i look at it and feel sick. i dunno thats a huge problem for me because its not even like i have to be naked for ppl to see it.. :(

May I ask... What is cellulite?

I want to know what dry body brushing is?

Where have you been keyeno?  :p  Here's some info on cellulite:

This is from Wikipedia:

Cellulite describes dimpling of skin, caused by the protrusion of subcutaneous fat into the dermis creating an undulating dermal-subcutaneous fat junction adipose tissue.

Between 85% and 98% of post-pubescent females display some degree of cellulite.

Descriptive names for cellulite include orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, the mattress phenomenon, and hail damage.

There are no supplements that have been approved as effective for reducing cellulite. Cosmetic laser manufacturers, such as Syneron, claim success after a few applications of their products. Other cosmetic procedures such as Mesotherapy, Endermologie, & laser treatments have produced inconclusive results. While each has been FDA approved to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, long term results are unknown.[2] Liposuction, which extracts fat from under the skin, is not effective for cellulite reduction. Dieting does not get rid of the dimpled appearance, but a balanced diet and exercise may help.

Cellulite has been found to be indistinguishable from ordinary fat in every medical and scientific test. It is not proven whether any cosmetic lotion, massager or pills can reduce/increase cellulite versus ordinary fat. The only known way to reduce the appearance of cellulite is to reduce overall body fat by altering diet or exercise, although it may remain visible even on very slim women.

Ah, ok, thanks. Sort of knew what it was but wasn't familiar with it's name.

I know this post is like a year old but..

My guess (and this is a real guess) is that losing weight just increased the visibility of your cellulite, since cellulite is ALWAYS THERE and never can be lost. Yup!

It totally makes sense in some respects that you're noticing it more as you lose weight.

For one, cellulite is the layer of fat beneath the skins surface that clings like it's caught in a net to the mucle tissue, and before when you carried more weight, the fat (which would not have been connected to your muscle tissue) was "free-flowing" shall i say? Haha, and most likely ontop of that layer ABOVE the muscle-tissue-sinewy-cellulite-layer. So as you lost THAT fat you get to see a more deep layer of.. you? haha thus the visible cellulite

But I'm just guessing haha

Another thing that might make sense here is your diet;

even if you're eating healthy and have a defecit you'll lose weight, however, if you're eating high concentrations of fat to get your cals, even from foods that are a healthy source like dairy, olive oil, nut butters, you'll notice it more.. at least I do, even if I'm losing weight.
