Can the cellulite be gotten rid of? Can you ever be free of the “cottage cheese” thighs? “Pock marked” butt? “Dimpled” arms (yes nowadays even the arms are getting cellulite)? Some would have you believe that once you get it…you never can lose it. Can you really NEVER lose it? Is it  truly a chronic condition?

First we should understand exactly what cellulite is…. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cellulite our online dictionary states that cellulite is “a condition that is claimed to occur in most women where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvic region becomes dimpled.”  Merriam-Webster ( www.merriam-webster.com/definition/cellulite ) defines cellulite as “deposits of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue that give a puckered and dimpled appearance to the skin surface.” Wikipedia  also states towards the end of the entry that a few researchers feel that “there really is no cure for cellulite” as if it were a disease.  Basically we all know what cellulite is and most definitely what it looks like…

Personally we here at Fit Transformatins believe that losing cellulite is a lot like losing fat. Seeing as cellulite IS fat and when you lose fat you shrink those fat cells down and they no longer take up space in your body then….low and behold….you really CAN lose cellulite. Well I’ll be. This unbelief in being able to lose your cellulite is right up there with the person coming in the door not even believing they can actually lose 5-20 lbs of fat. Which, of course, can really, really happen. 

After perusing several websites claiming to solve your cellulite problem with lotions and surgeries among many treatments …we are still of the mindset that this cellulite circumstance is another issue that can be minimized if not out right solved with a program with three lifestyle components in it. Can you guess what I will write next? Yes cellulite and lifestyles do tend to have correlations. Those folks that eat healthy foods, weight train and do cardio tend to decrease their bodyfat and minimize the cellulite. Yee Haw I say…

From personal experience, having been fat after both pregnancies and having gained weight recently after my husband’s illness I have cellulite. Everytime I focus on my eating habits, get regular cardio and weight training  I slowly but surely lose the cellulite. In fact a little over a year ago, when I had my bodyfat down to 14 percent (I also was 41 years old) I did not have one dimple in my butt and all I can say is YES!!!!! There is light at the end of the tunnel. It can be done.

It just takes a focus, a want and a plan to get you to your end result. So whether that end result is modest and you just want alot less cellulite all the way to the other end of the spectrum and you don’t want even one dimple on your butt I say go for it. Give it 100% and keep giving it 100% till you get there. Have fun on your journey…it is well worth it.

Please feel free to share your experiences, thoughts or opinions…I’m listening!

God Bless You,
