You are the same height as myself, and for a long time, I weighed 120 lbs. Now that I'm 45, I weigh 130 and I am still within my weight limits. Most of my cellulite appears around my waist line when I stop performing sit ups. Believe me, sit ups really help, but Ive provided a link for you to read how to get rid of cellulite. An excerpt from the website is below:
The key to decreasing the appearance of cellulite pockets is to improve the way your body eliminates its excess fat. It’s that simple. The methods you can use are practically infinite, but here are ten great places to start:
- Drink two liters of water every day – more if you exercise vigorously and even more if you exercise outdoors in a hot climate.
- Give up caffeine. It makes you retain water, promoting cellulite growth.
- Don’t eat anything fried. The less grease you consume, the better. This includes butter. If you tend to put butter on everything, change your ways. After a few months of shunning butter, margarine and fried foods, you won’t even like greasy stuff anymore – honestly!
- Get moving. It’s been found that poor circulation can cause cellulite to stay put. Suggestion: indoor bicycling is an excellent way to get the blood in your legs circulating efficiently.
- Researchers have found that Vitamin C, which helps the body rid itself of toxins, plays a role in reducing cellulite, so make sure you have plenty of it in your diet. Get at least three servings a day of fresh fruits.
- Avoid sodium, which also causes water retention. Be cautious about Chinese food!
- Stay real. Chemical additives in your food may seem like a fact of life, but the more you can stay away from them, the healthier (and less lumpy) you’ll be. Read labels. If a product has more ingredients than you could read in fifteen seconds, it’s far from pure.
- Yoga is a terrific way to improve your circulation and increase your strength. An added bonus of getting into Yoga is that you’ll be surrounded by “all-natural” people who will be a good influence on you. Another plus is that it may give you patience, which you will need, as you won’t see results for a while.
- Take up weight training. Although it won’t, in itself, remove the cottage cheese look, you’ll speed up your metabolism, which decreases body fat all over your body, proportionately lowering your cellulite level in the process.
- Do what you can with your genes. Enough said about that.
A word about creams:
They’re not a solution to the problem, but there are some creams and lotions out there that “plump up” the skin – in a good way! If you think your cellulite is an eyesore (on your thighs, for example), a good cream might mask it somewhat.
