This post isn't about me its for my girlfriend....
She has put on quite a bit of weight recently (about a stone), i think she still looks fine but she is really unhappy with her apperance because her thighs and tummy have started to show cellulite on them, and she has gone up 1-2 dress sizes.
She was upset because a pair of her trousers ripped when she tried to get in to them. She is not fat but she has gained quite a bit of 'flab' that wasn't there before even though she still eats exactly the same which is quite healthy (mostly chicken and vegetables)
Soooo does anybody know any possible reasons for the weight gain, and how to get rid of the cellulite because it is really getting her down.
Cheers, Deeb

has your girlfriend put on the weight over a period of time like say 6 months, or a short time like say, a month, 6 weeks? has her lifestyle become less active, ie is she doing less exercise, or if she never exercised before, have her everyday activities become less active, like was she working in a job where she was on her feet all day and now she has changed to a more sit down job? i dont think im really making any sense. im trying to think of the possibilties, but it really could be anything. how old is she? she may be still developing no?
im not sure you can actually "get rid" of cellulite (i may be wrong) but exercising will tone her up and make it look less noticable.
girls tend to get bloated around the time of their periods, when clothes feel tighter, but this seems more than that.
thats the best i can do for ya i honestly dont have a clue.
Positive
She says in about 2 months, she thought maybe because it was the summer holidays there for she didn't have the 20 minute walk to school. She has got quite a bit of excess skin putting it nicely, (once again it upsets her not me because i love her the way she is)
She used to be a size 8-10 but was never stick thin just had a nice tummy, but now the trouseres she fits into ar size 10 -12 and because she is 5'2 she feels the weight gain is more noticable.
Thanks for the help though
Also, i think that using one of those wooden massagers you can get from boots or superdrug help too.
I've gone from a size 8 to a size 12 in about a year and i've notice a hell of a difference in my body shape. It's because i've gone from a active lifestyle where i was getting about 3 hours of strenous exercise a week to virtually no exercise at all!
I am going to join my local gym though, it's getting beyond a joke now! :rolleyes:
Thanks
Glad i could help.
