I'm Not Only Losing Weight...I'm Losing Cellulite!

Postby proverbs31woman » Sun Aug 31, 2008 8:45 pm

It's been a little over 2 months since I've been on Mary's Mini, and I've not only lost 15 pounds, but I've noticed the other day when looking in the mirror that I'm losing the ripples in the back of my legs. I used to have about four ripples of cellulite, and now I can see only one.

The combination of exercise (especially weight-training) and following Mary's Mini is working. I believe that MM is responsible for most of my success.

Wow...that's just wonderful to hear! Congrats on both the weight loss and the cellulite loss. I'm sure this is going to be very inspirational for others struggling with cellulite.

As McDougall says, cellulite is simply the body's equivalent of an overstuffed mattress. I think there are protein fibers that are the webbing and the fat bulges out between that - so when you lose the fat, you lose the bulging. Cellulite isn't a different kind of fat.

Anyway, congratulations! Must be a fantastic feeling. :)

Thanks so much, Zena and karin_kiwi! I had to look again today to make sure that I wasn't wrong, and I'm right, the cellulite is diminishing!

I really do hope that this inspres someone out there.

Less cellulite! Thats a reason to cellebrate! (heehee) I never understood the dreadfulness of it (I just had regular fat) until I hit 40. Now, I understand how wonderful it would feel to be rid of it. Congratulations hasanismom....keep up the good work.

I can see the logic in Mary's Mini--not as many temptations. I might try it too. Congratulations on your success!

That's funny. Maybe he should have added LUMPY mattress. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hope I can get rid of some cellulite. I hate it. :(
