Does anyone know of a good way to get rid of all the excess cellulite over 55? I probably only need to loose about 15 lbs but I have so much sagging cellulite! I work as a nurse, long 12 hr shifts three days on two off. Any advise?

Cardio and weight training and diet are the only non-surgical options to rid yourself of cellulite. Do you know your Body fat percentage? Because if you are low in body fat you'd want to increase muscle tone in your legs in order to get rid of that cellulite and tighten up your legs......otherwise, cardio to decrease body fat and weights for toning up your leg muscles......the combination of those three should make a huge difference.

I disagree. I would always recommend the most healthy way first (diet, cardio and weight lifting) instead of any surgical procedure.

OP, a combination of a clean healthy diet, cardio and weight lifting should do the trick for you.

I totally disagree with this. Cellulite is FAT. Plain and simple. Don't throw money away on such foolish things as "treatments". And surgical solutions are just ridiculously abused. Get yourself into a gym, and stay there for a while.

I agree. Those creams/treatments etc don't really rid the cellulite but only improve it for the term of the products life on your skin. They usually tighten up skin and hydrate it so that it appears better. But it comes back as soon as you stop using product. With exercise/diet way the good results stay around. Diet is really important when dealing with any skin problem. But if you want a product to get you through for now you should check out Bliss's Fat Girl Slim and seaweed soaps. Dietary stop smoking, none to low sugar intake, start enjoying baked and steamed fish. Eat as little processed food as possible. Use sea salt instead of table salt. Drink only water or tea (get caffeine free).

You will look better when you get your bmi down to the 20-22 range too. Don't try to go too thin because that can age a face and leave too much lose skin to tighten up.

What type of support hose do you wear on shift? Do you have to wear a dress or are you allowed scrubs? If you can wear scrubs they make these pants that massage your legs and are suppose to rid you of cellulite. But I think they would just feel good being on a shift and being supported. It would be good for the vein issues at least.

Here is that bliss store for now:
anti cellulite, firming, lifting, tone your body - bliss

For good, I would work on the diet and exercise thing.
