Do You Have Cellulite?

July 28, 2009

It's estimated that 80 percent of the female population has cellulite. While it's hard to embrace our dimply thighs, celeb trainer Jillian Michaels and starlet Kim Kardashian have both publicly admitted to having cellulite. During bikini season it's difficult to hide from the fact that most of us have some, but that also means it's not something we necessarily need to hide. Tell me . . .

haha i even saw a little skinny toddler with cellulite last weekend.

delightfairy 3 years 41 weeks

I'm skinny, working out, not eating much and I do have. But who cares? :P

Yep. It doesn't really bother me though - I HATE it when I put on some weight because my thighs look horrid, but if I slim down a bit I mainly notice it when I "squeeze" the skin there. Bah, there are more important things in life that. I'm surprised 20% of the female population doesn't have cellulite though, I thought it'd be way less than that! Does that also include little kids?!

Oh yes sir, i definitely have cellulite, I´ve had it probably since my early teens (I´m almost 24). I hate it, but only now ïm taking proactive steps to reduce it.

It only shows up if I clench the muscles or compress the muscles with two hands--hey, you gals who say you have no cellulite, have you tried that test? I count that as cellulite. And I'm very slim with a very clean diet and regular workouts and dance! I remember first noticing it when I was 10.

No cellulite. No one in my family has it either - ahhh, thank you ancestors! Love not have wrinkles as well!

What's up, is there anybody else here? If there are any real people here looking to network, leave me a post. Oh, and yes I'm a real person LOL. Bye,

clew001 3 years 42 weeks

LOL is that even a real question? of course i have cellulite. im a skinny bitch and i have cellulite & stretch marks. i probably always will too.

thenekoling 3 years 42 weeks

I don't, but I do have stretch marks, blegh. I work out a lot, so as long as I'm healthy that's good enough for me!

pinkpeonygirl 3 years 42 weeks

Sure I do. It doesn't bother me anymore.

Wait a second- the picture above, is that really cellulite??? I thought it was dimply.

I am quite thin and even I have a little on the back of my thighs (when I mean a little I mean a dimple or two). Though I find that doing squats with an exercise ball against a wall really helps to diminish the appearance of them

I don't have it, and i've noticed my mom doesn't have it either so yeah...Genetics.

divinedebris 3 years 42 weeks

I have some on my thighs. I didn't though, when I was a teenager but I got heavy for a year and then lost it and there it was, and still it remains.

imLissy 3 years 42 weeks

Little bit. Didn't have when I was fatter, but I was a teenager then.

cg130 3 years 42 weeks

I have some, not a ton, but definitely a bit on my outer thighs, bum, and the top backs of my thighs. I don't LOVE it, but I'm not ashamed of it!

Also, sorry Fit, but I wish you would stop using that photograph for the cellulite posts. I don't think that woman has much to worry about! :)

iheartkerning 3 years 42 weeks

i don't have any. i'm sure it's based purely on genetics, because i've went from very thin to thick and back again without getting cellulite. i do however have some spider veins...uck.

Wild Magelet 3 years 42 weeks

Yes. Unfortunately. :) On my butt and the backs of my thighs. It probably is genetic; however, since I've been ill this year, I've slacked off with the exercise and it's definitely got worse as I've lost muscle tone. I probably ought to concentrate on some strength training before summer this year! Being winter on top of being in convalescence has made me seriously sedentary lately. However, no matter how much exercise I do, I think I would still have quite a bit of cellulite. I remember having it as early as 14 and probably before that. I became "aware" of it (embarrassed by it!) at 14 when I was on holiday with my family and had to share a room with my brother; I was wearing shortie pjs and he pointed out the "dimples" on my legs. I think that was one year I really wished I had a sister instead! :)

Talldiva45 3 years 42 weeks

Yes - I think everyone has at least a little bit. I haven't run anyone who hasn't personally.

gumdrops334 3 years 42 weeks

I have it on my butt and back of thighs...but do you know the best cure for it? DONT LOOK AT IT IN THE MIRROR! You have to make an effort to look at your cellulite, and the less you worry about it, the better you'll feel about yourself.

bluebellknoll 3 years 42 weeks

Nope. And I also agree it's genetic. My mom told me she didn't get cellulite or spider veins until after she had kids. So, I guess that means I may get some in the future?!?

As a Hispanic girl, OF COURSE I have some. I've noticed a lot of us Hispanic girls deal with it, unfortunately. Although I really hate it sometimes, I've come to accept it. It's natural and I'm only human.
