It has probably something to do with diet.
Look at your diet carefully and see what
your eating. When you workout you better
work your legs. You better be working out
your whole body, because if you arent it
wont be doing much.

Diet and genetics.Look at your family,do a
lot of the women have cellulite?You can be
very thin and fit and still have
cellulite. .That's just how
woman are designed,we have a higher fat
percentage than men.I also know women who
are not thin and don't have it!I think
it's mostly genetic,but watching what you
eat is also important.Look at it this
way,if a food is creamy or rich,it will
end up on your thighs or butt.That
includes all cheese,fried foods,any cream
of whatever,alfredo sauces,gravies.I'm not
saying to not eat these things,but to do
it in moderation.Patty

The other thing is that once you gain fat
cells, you cannot get rid of them. They
just expand and shrink. Eating more fat
can create new fat cells. However
exercising only shrinks them and does not
get rid of them. Cellulite is a
condition where your fat cells clump
together. So anyone who has fat, even
just a little, and has the fun of having a
genetic tendoncy for fat cells to clump
together will show cellulite on their
thighs.

You need to loose body fat. Try drinking
a lot of water, and doing more aerobics as
well as some weight lifting.
Cellulite is difficult or sometimes
impossible to get rid of without
surgery.It is largely a genetic thing.
Both my babies were born with it. sorry. There are
lots of really thin people with it.
Sometimes building muscle in the areas
with it will help to hide it. Good luck
