the dreaded cellulite

[hussy]

hi guys we would all love to wave a magic wand and our thighs would tighten and our cellulite would disappear but jokes aside does anybody know of any treatment that actually works!!!!! would love to give it a go. my diet hasn't helped as have very sweet tooth, only size 10 but my thighs are chunky, loose and with the dreaded cellulite!!!!!!! help!

[hussy]

surely somebody knows the answer.............. would sleep better tonight!! xx

Hussy - try not to worry. Many women store fat on their thighs, but I'm sure your problem's not as great as you think, with only being a size 10. The only permanent way to remove it though, is by hard exercise - or surgery - although "wrap" treatments can give a temporary loss. Firming creams can help to give the illusion of taughter skin, but I'm sure you're fine as you are really.

thanks ice-maiden if only it was true!!!!!!!!! don"t get me wrong figure not bad but honestly my legs need toning up BADLY just can"t get motivated to do anything about it. cellulite is UGLY have you ever had a wrap done? did you see instant results??????

[Ice-Maiden]

No, I've never had a wrap done myself, because like you, I'm a size 10, and I'm quite tall with it. I really can't pinch an inch on my thighs - but that's not a boast. I do a lot of horse riding and winter sports, so I guess it keeps me toned (for now!). However, I went with a friend to a salon in London and watched her have a full-body wrap treatment. After what seemed like an age, she emerged to be measured, and it was amazing! She'd lost "instant" weight from her stomach, thighs and bottom (an inch at least). It's not permanent - but what a boost!! still think you sound "normal" & OK, though!

when have clothes on i look good as i am tall as well but with bad diet and no proper exercise my thighs need lots of attention. although said size 10 some of clothes are 12 but can fit in to 10 depending if been on a binge again!!!! going to look into the wrap, thanks ice-maiden for the advice and compliments go down a treat!! xx

Oh bless Hussy! Well before I go to bed - let me just assure you that we all have problems. Mine's the er...ahem...top half. My bra size defies the rest of my body, which can cause no end of probs when getting clothes to fit well. At least if you have cellulite on your thighs, you can hide it under long tops or skirts, but what do you do when you feel like Nell Gwyn?? No laughing matter when I'm bursting out of a size 10 top (being economical with the truth there - there's no WAY I can fit into a size 10 top unless the material's stretchy!). Nice chatting to you on AB. Hope you find a solution. Night.

Try using the Body Shop dry body brush (or any good body brush) at least once a day and drink loads of water.

Hi Hussy - Having cellulite is not a life sentence, but to sort through all cellulite myth out there you first need to know what really causes cellulite in the first place.

Take a look at http://treatcellulitenow.com/what-is-cellulite

This article explains what causes cellulite and lays the groundwork in how to approach getting rid of it.

I hope you find this helpful.

All the best,

Steve
