what you're describing (cottage cheese/bumps) is called cellulite. that cottage cheese appearance is harmless and basically is caused by highly enlarged fat cells very near the surface of the skin. while there's no cure for cellulite (despite the many preparations creams and techniques touted to "rid you of cellulite forever! ") in general the appearance of these fats cells diminishes as you lose weight. your best bet to fight cellulite is to lose weight by eating a healthy balanced diet in the right proportions and to get some exercise. you can start off easy but simply walking for 10 minutes a day. gradually increase the time and intensity of your workout and you'll see the pounds melt away -- along with the appearance of that cellulite. check out webmd's diet community for tips and advice from experts and your peers to help you lose weight in a healthy way and keep it off for good! all the best to you!
