No Joke....I have eliminated Cellulite!

[Anonymous]

So I have always been a cardio addict, mainly running and biking. However even through I have been a normal weight I have not been happy with my naked body.

About 4 weeks ago, I started on a heavy weight training schedule 3xs a week. Cellulite gone and my butt is starting to look amazing. Why didn't I do this years ago?? I can't even imagine what I'm going to look like in another 4 weeks.

I have changed my diet as well. Though I was always a good eater, I have cut out gluten and all refined sugar.

I run 4xs a week, but have scaled back the mileage to have energy for lifting. Normally I run 2.75-3 miles most days and then one day is my "long" run, which is only about 5 miles. I work FT, so my running is kicked off at 5:15 AM 3xs during the work week and then at a reasonable time on Saturday.

I do weights for a full hour Tuesdays/Fridays/Sundays. I do 4 sets of 3-4 exercises each. Usually 2 lower body/1 Arms/1 abs, so I'm spending 50% of my time on lower body, 25% on abs, and 25% on arms. I'm not the type of person who builds bulk, so I'm really lifting hard, basically until muscle failure. This has made running so much easier!! Again, since I work FT, I am in the gym by 545 on Tuesday/Friday and my DH does the kids school stuff. Sunday as a family we go to the gym together.

For the food, I'm eating no refined sugar (this includes no fruited yogurt and no sweet salad dressings) and no gluten. I do add sugar to my coffee and eat a square if 85% dark chocolate at night. For the gluten, I'm NOT doing any fake foods (such as gluten free pasta or breads) I'm sticking to whole foods and getting my carbs from beans and fruit and some rice (not much). I'm not cutting back on fat at all.

Just an example of today:

-Omelet for breakfast stuffed with Kale, bacon, and cheddar
-Lunch was salmon salad with celery, 1/2 Avocado, almonds, pistachios
-Dinner was lamb Vindaloo over white rice
-Morning 2.75mi run

Nice job! I'm on a similar plan, although do 45 mins of weights 3 days a week and I don't run. I do hikes or HIIT. I've seen huges changes in my body although I still have cellulite on my thighs that is driving me CRAZY. Question: how do you lift heavy at the gym? Trainer? Spotter?

I do work out with a PT Tuesday/Friday and he gives me a full plan for my Sunday that I'm by myself. I could not do this regime without his guidance and structure. He pushes me way farther than I ever thought I could go.

The first 2 weeks I was literally crippling myself and could barely run (or bend down to use the toilet) but now I've adjusted.

what weight level is considered heavy lifting?

[Anonymous]

OP is right. When I wanted to lose the flab and gain muscle, the weight training did it - not the cardio I had been doing for years. I developed a six-pack, and while I did not completely eliminate all my cellulite, I did reduce it significantly. However, you can't eliminate cardio altogether, because it preserves your heart.

This is so true. I stopped lifting altogether for the past year, but kept doing intense cardio, and now I have horrible cellulite and have gained 15 pounds.

I remember there used to be this woman at my gym who seemed obsessed with the stepmill-- the hardest piece of cardio equipment. She'd be on it for 90 minutes, dripping sweat, yet she had just awful cellulite and her body never seemed to change. I couldn't help noticing her because she was a fiend on that machine, really impressive. I don't think she did any weights.

OP - you've inspired me! heading to the beach in 5 weeks. I already work out, but have had trouble getting rid of cellulite. so now there's hope!!!

Have you ever seen a naked body that is tight from lipo? Lipo people are full of extra bumps and lumps and who wants fat to come back in strange places like on the back or under the arms? YUCK.

You don't get Jennifer Aniston legs at 40 from lipo. You get them at the gym and they are worth every drop of sweat.
