Flabby Legs

Okay, so you were referring to the bra-fitting part of that post, but my initial reaction was Why the HECK didn't you have BOTH of them done after losing the weight? It took a moment of wondering why on earth you'd leave one hanging if you had one lifted....

Me too, LOL!

I sometimes wish mine would turn to golf ball size. Still wearing a DD even after losing 50 pounds and returning to my ideal weight, though I am happy that I also went from 38 to 34. Actually, the DD cup is slightly loose so a D would probably fit too. A C would be more proportionate to the rest of my frame but that might be pushing it unless I lose another 10 pounds. High on my wish list is the ability to fit into a bra that has only 2 hooks.

Oh, about the legs. They other day I came up with a brilliant idea to make the most of every red light I have to stop at on my way to work: Squeeze my gluts as tight as I can and hold for 6-10 seconds, then repeat until the light turns green. Do this all the way to work (26 miles). I could feel them yesterday even while going up stairs! If only I thought of this 30 years ago, LOL!

Cellulite is normal. Some of us have more than others. There are frighteningly skinny people with cellulite. My advice? Screw it. Forget the cellulite. Ride your bike. <--best advice ever!

I've noticed that I'm a lot sexier on days that I ride than on days I don't. The fact is, you can ride a bike, and even if you only ride 10 or 15 miles, that's a lot further than most people could even imagine. Two miles is a LOT for many. It's crazy. So, be proud of your legs.

People are much more interested in what you can do with your legs than the cellulite under the skin. I'm willing to bet that you're the only one obsessed with the cellulite on your legs. If anyone else is, then they obviously don't have enough in life to worry about.

Amen sister. Right on.

I'm glad we're back to the legs, because I wanted to mention that my legs turn weird colors when I ride, and get blotchy spots even from standing still for too long. I have no idea what this is, but do you think it's normal?

Could the cellulite and/or discoloration be a symptom of something else?

I should add, I've been using the foam roller for the last couple of weeks, and I'm seeing positive results. The first night I rolled my legs were kind of blue. This hasn't happened again, and also they're looking smoother.

I had no idea a foam roller would help smooth out cellulite. I bought it to work out the pain in my muscles, but now I am doubly motivated! Thanks!

Well, it's too soon to say for sure, but I really do think I see a difference. It could be wishful thinking though, or the placebo effect, which I've had before with some lotions. At least the roller is cheap and easy to do. The true test will be trying on a swimsuit in a department store. Those florescent lit mirrors magnify bumps better than the Hubble Space Telesope!

Let me know if you see any improvement. Maybe together we can figure this out.
