I HATE the back of my legs

| I work out daily and lift 4 times a week. I do every lower body exercise you can think of. And I lift HEAVY too. I am not overweight or underweight...perfectly in the middle of the healthy range. I have a toned stomach, great arms, but my legs are filled with cellulite. From about 2 inches above the knee on up. I am only 34. They got worst each pregnancy and have never gotten better despite being in much better shape now. Is there anything you can do for this? I am almost jealous of my girlfriends who's child bearing years left them with "fixable" things like breast lift, tummy tuck, things that general weight loss can fix, etc etc. I know that its not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but we just got back from vacation and looking at the pictures really made my cringe. Its obviously not something I look at all the time since its the back of me so I don't think I knew how terrible it was! |

Pics?
Also, I would like to know the solution. This is very frustrating. |

| This sounds harsh but you probably need to lose weight. You seem very focused on working out. That’s great but can only get you so far. Lose some weight and see if t goes away. |

"Fixable things"? Excuse me, most of us do not get those fixed, and we learn to live with them. Same as you with the cellulite, so pipe down and enjoy the one life you have. |

| OP here. I am 5 ft 3 inches and 108lb...fairly fine boned. I think I could probably get down to 104 but it would require really really strict lifestyle choices. I suppose that's the answer though! |

| You need to tone...more weights and cardio. |

No, it’s not. You’re already quite thin and losing a few pounds won’t change cellulite. I’m 5’2” and 135 pounds and I have almost no cellulite on my thighs. It’s genetic. |

You said above you’re not overweight or underweight. Surely you realize this weight isn’t “in the middle.” I’m a similar weight and fully aware I’m on the lower end of the weight range for my height. Most likely you have some sort of body image problem. |

Op here. I really don't. I am confident and don't have image issues. It is just something I like to work on if possible. I am in the middle of my weight for fine boned people. |

No, you aren’t. You really aren’t. Lose a few pounds and you’d be classified as “underweight.” |

“fine boned people” 
I can assure you that you have regular bones. |

Just FYI, OP, you're always going to be called out on DCUM for wanting to be a healthy weight for your fine bone structure - most people don't understand that the BMI scale is grossly wrong for anyone not solidly in the average range of height and build. It's wrong at the other end of the scale for athletes as well. I'm 5'4" and my healthy weight is probably around 105lbs (Asian, very fine bones). Now I weigh 118lbs and I don't feel good, plus I have a pot belly. However, for the first time in my life, my BMI is in the normal range! Thank goodness my doctor sees through the BMI to the real me, and advised me to cut down on carbs a little. |

OP here. Ok this is getting off track but I have small bones. Its a thing. My wrist is the size of my 9 year olds wrist. My ring size is a size 4. These are things that have nothing to do with my weight or my body image like this board is suggesting but it does correlate with a smaller amount of mass. |

+1 What goes “fine boned” even mean??! |

Yeah I am not so sure about this. I’m a similar height and weight as OP and find how she’s describing her weight to be a little “off.” I mean would you really describe your weight as “in the middle?” No, you’d probably say that you naturally have a low weight because you have very small bones. |
