She looks really thin and fit! And yes, ladies, even super fit and thin women can get cellulite:

OMG, have you guys ever seen this women in a bikini? She has the blockiest torso ever, worse than Stephanie Pratt’s. Zero waist and nasty bolted on tits, it’s not pretty at ALL. And she posed for Playboy, I don’t know who on earth would pay to see her naked. I won’t even get into the cellulite (I know many will point it out) because LOTS of women have it so whatever. Sorry if this sounded harsh but her body is not nice lol.
wow first lol.and i don’t think super fit people can get celullite =/
she’s just really wrinkly!!! I don’t think she can help it now…maybe she shouldn’t have fake baked for years and she wouldn’t look like that…
p.s. wear s sports bra..please?
Oh dear! She looked decent, then I saw the back of her thigh!!!!
superfit people don`t have cellulite, I can assure you.
And she should not wear those clothes whilst jogging, not very old lady like.
Not to be creepy or anything, but does her right nipple seem unusually high up?
Sorry, but it’s the first thing I noticed…and I’ve also seen cellulite on slim people. It really robs you of any chance of looking fit though.
Super fit people CAN get cellulite. I know because I am one of them! I train for ski racing every single day, either fitness training or skiing and I have a little cellulite on my bum and upper thigh. Nothing like this woman though, however I still think she looks great!
That is a shame her face is pleasant. Hips narrow. Muscle above her knee is nice and shapely slim arms.
ANYONE can get cellulite. There are things you can actively do to hasten or camouflage it, but everyone is target.
She looks good…. don’t know much about her but I am assuming she is in her 40s, right?
she looks superfit to me. I’d love to have her slimmer hips, rather than my wider ones.
And as it’s been posted on here many times and as mentioned above, cellulite has a major genetic component, and superfit, slim, skinny people can get it, too. ANYONE can get it.
Yep, I’ve seen many distance runners, logging upwards of 70 mi/week running and they have cellulite. I think it’s about genetics.
She looks good for her ages
cellulites a bit dodgy but hey..
Just wondering you see those two horixontal lines on her arm just near her elbow- what are they?
Cellulite aside, not a nice body shape. Looks like a triangle.
*upside down triangle
I meant in the last picture on her forearms btw
Fit and think people CAN get cellulite.. I see it all the time at the gym. She looks good though for her age.. but she has no waist so her shoulders look really wide.
by waist i mean hips.
I can’t beleive that nobody thinks the cellulite has been photoshopped. The back of her left leg has a lot more cellulite than the right and I have never seen anyone in that good of shape have that much cellulite. In addition, if you watch her on the show, her legs look great from all angles.
i wont say yuk or anything like that,cause its normal.
any one could have cellulite!!
As a marathon runner and someone who works out with weights religiously, yes superfit/healthy people have cellulite. The problem in her pic is that her leg is bent and the running movement. In October during a race, I was behind a female 5′10″ and maybe 115-120 lbs with zero body fat. She had on little booty spandex shorts that had half of her butt cheeks hanging out. If she was standing still or walking, perfection (no cellulite). However, when she ran, because of the jostling she had some imperfections.
Her clothes are fine for going on a run. If you think that her attire is inappropriate, go check out some local races. You will see 60 – 80yr olds in spandex and men with big bellies in little short short running shorts and no shirt.
Personally, I’m 30 almost 31 and run with shorts and a sports bra unless it is below 50 outside. I’m not too concerned what my small town neighbors might think because 1. I look 100x better than them and 2. I can run circles around their lazy butts! A serious runner finds what feels the best for running long distances and sticks with what works.
She is built just like Terri Hatcher!
The first and third pictures look good. I agree that the second and fourth look photoshopped! Why do people add cellulite to celebs pictures?
i used to be a competitive runner and had some pretty awesome legs (*had*). occassionally i’d see action shots of behind the knee like that that’d make me faint. you’d be surprised how physics can screw you over.
that cellulite is vile and she has it because she’s old.
If Jamie Eason (google her) gets cellulite when she’s not at a competition/photoshoot body fat %, ANYONE regardless of fitness can get cellulite. It’s ridiculous to say otherwise.
As a serious runner myself, the first thing I noticed was the fact that her long-ass hair is down while she’s out for a jog. Seriously, maybe it doesn’t bug her, but it would definitely irritate me.
Otherwise…most people will be lucky to look that good at her age, so I have nothing critical to say of her body.
cellulite can appear on thin women but not “superfit” women just because someone is really thin and works out occasionally doesn’t mean she’s “superfit” usually means she just doesn’t eat very much. it appears that she was probably very fit at one point n her life but seems like now she probably just has a very strict diet, and just for the record i don’t think she looks bad at all, especially for someone her age, but was wearing shorts THAT short and tight really necessary??
Great shape other than the cellulite, and I hope for her sake that it is photoshop. I don’t like the fake boobs, but otherwise, her arms are fantastic and she has a nice athletic body. However, I hate all these ridiculous “Housewife” shows. (other than “Desperate Housewives” which is great fun!)
At least she exercises and stays fit. Cellulite is a sad part of life but she’s an inspiration by sticking with a workout program. Good for her!
She has a very awkward body and her tighs shouldn’t be so saggy, not good. How come she posed for that magazine for men? Photoshop…
here we go again..another “celeb” just trying to live her life by “exercising” with her bangles on, hair down, chains wrapped around her neck, and bra-less. Doesn’t scream attention whatsoever
my favorite………
Yikes!!! First of all I won’t get into the cellulite controvery and who gets it, etc, but she SHOULD NOT be wearing these shorts!! Capris or leggings would be much better!! Her nips showing is gross and vulgar. —Very Pamela Anderson…
Someone posted that she may not be “super fit” just because she is slim–I tend to agree. Who works out with their hair down and tons of (cheap) jewlery on?? This was a planned photo op, I’m sure…
wow-just goes to show cellulite is genetic. I run 7 miles a day and I have it. Granted, less than before I began running a year ago but in the sun You can see a little. I am a size 2 with 12% body fat. So yes, it is genetic.
anyone can get cellulite! its normal. great body especially for her age.
I’m pretty sure this image has been messed with…I’ve seen several candids of this woman other places and her legs always look much smoother!
na, you can tell shes not fit tbh,her proportions make her look odd. she looks naturally slim/surgcally enhanced. if she was a runner she wouldnt have cellulite
I’m a runner and I have cellulite. I just ran 10 miles yesterday – the cellulite is still there.
just because you run and excercise doesnt mean your fit…
She’s not nice on the Housewives show. But she needs to get over herself, put her ego aside and run in something that would look better on her – cover up what needs to be hidden. Everyone ages and at some point you just need to cover some things. No one should ever run without one, but she is definitely too old to go braless.
This woman is in amazing shape (overall) for her age, and kudos to her for being brave enough to bare her flaws while jogging and in Miami of all places. Also, glad to hear everyone admit to having cellulite; it happens, I work out two hours a day six days a week, and the dimples wont budge.
she might be fit, but she has very manly body (mid section).
To all you people who say “super fit people DON’T/CAN’T get cellulite,” sorry, but you’re wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. As others have said, you can run regularly, lift weights, do yoga, eat healthy, and still get cellulite. My mom ran several miles a day, did aerobics, and played racquetball when I was little and guess what?! Still has cellulite. It’s mostly a genetics thing, at the end of the day. Like my mom, I am extremely active and guess what?! I still have some cellulite. To be fair, Kelly B. is also in her 40s I do believe, and age does take a toll on the amount of collagen in the skin, as well as the elasticity and the connective fibers that prevent or cause cellulite. But, as previously stated, if you insist on believing that fit people are exempt from cellulite, you are setting yourself up from some major disappointment.
Cellulite is all about genes,or you have it or you dont;) For example,my mother has some extra pounds on herself but she doesent have cellulite at all and my skinny friend has some(I,of course dont have,thanks to my mom!:)
It makes me CRAZY to see pics of celebs running with their hair all pretty. I am a runner and real runners do not do their hair before they work out. I think it is such a publicity stunt when I see that. Put it in a ponytail already.
Well, I don’t know how old she is, but I’m assuming she’s pretty old. For younger people, I thought (maybe I’m wrong) one of the most common causes of out of control cellulite is starvation diets. i.e., trying to lose a lot of weight really quickly by not eating, as opposed to eating better and doing cardio + strength training. I didn’t know cellulite could get that bad for people under 60, though. I guess it’s nice that she still has the confidence to wear whatever she wants, though, instead of being obsessed about people’s reactions, as I/many others would be.
I think she looks great! So what if she has cellulite? There’s nothing you can do.
I’m not a fan, she’s good for a woman of her age but not really fit.
I agree with others about how annoying it would be to have your hair out while running, this had to be a photo op. When I was running, my hair was up in a bun. The last thing you want is hair flying in your face, it’s bad enough when you have to slap bugs away.
She has a great body besides the cellulite lol.
put a damn ponytail in that mop! Oh wait she’s only pretending to work-out. Never mind then, keep posing for the paps with your cottage cheese.
I think she looks great. The whole cellulite question is interesting. I’ve seen a few cases. Personally I started to developed it when I was 23 after I had gained 40 lbs. I had it on my legs and even my arms!!! However, I’ve now lost the weight and all of my cellulite has disappeared! Imagine that?! But, I saw my friend’s sisters legs when she was 19 and they were terrible. She was a normal weight, active and the back of her legs were covered in cellulite. So, I guess it just happens.
This woman looks hawrrible and has the personality to match. She should never show those nasty legs.
Yep, skinny people can have cellulite…but if you saw that on the back of your legs in the mirror before you left the house wouldn’t you change clothes??
Why are there still debates about cellulite going on? To the stubborn, ignorant people who claim it’s about fitness & nothing else-EDUCATE yourself before speaking nonsense.
Cellulite is genetic and no amount of exercise/weight loss can get read of it.
I was told this by a (very active) college biology teacher.
her boobs are scary o_0
Cellulite is more about the skin quality rather than the fat percentage. She couldn’t have less body fat if she tried…..she looks awful IMO. She is way too old to be able to pull off this look and still look youthful. If she gained weight she would look younger and more attractive.
i agree with @ellie about the hair!
and isnt that necklace smacking her in a chin with every step?! who can run this way?
She’s fit but GAWD her body is shaped so atrociously. I’ve never seen anything so awkward. Poor thing! The halved orange titties don’t help.
i agree with supergirl.. she’s obviously not out to really get a good work-out. otherwise she would’ve bothered to put up her hair in a ponytail (sweaty hair in sweaty neck.. yuck!) and actually wear a (sports-)bra.
and furthermore.. i don’t think her body shape looks that great either.
they probably gave her a big boobs-thin waist-cellulite free behind edit..
@ Jade: u do realise they photoshop everything in the playboy too right?
Very, very bad boob job. I don’t understand why some women destroy their nice, natural small boobs to have disgusting looking robot parts. As for the cellulite: It can happen to anyone. There are Olympic athletes who have cellulite. It’s largely genetic. Many celebrities have the money to constanly get cellulite-reduction treatments, but they naturally have cellulite. Guess what they look like when they miss a couple of months of treatment. Trust me. And she who judges others’ cellulite is destined to have it worse than anyone!
I LOVE my cellulite!!!
I take issue that she is a “serious” runner. As others have pointed out, no one I know runs with their hair down, or with this type of jewelry, not to mention braless. Even small chested women need support. And there are running shorts that are just as comfortable that would cover up the cellulite. This screams photo op-I think the new episodes start this week of that show she’s on.
For being in her 40’s she looks great. I’m about 20 years younger than her and I wouldn’t be caught dead running in spandex shorts. Jarring movement does not do pretty things for the thighs & butt! That’s why her cellulite looks so bad; if she was standing still you probably would see very little.
Everyone — go strip down to your underwear and jump up and down in front of a mirror.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I think she looks like she’s in great shape!! A lot of older women have cellulite, even if they do work out a lot; me included. I run and lift weights almost every day, and I still have cellulite.
I’m going to disagree with some people and say she looks really good for a 40 year old wearing that type of outfit. She looks better than some 20 year olds running in that get-up. Cellulite IS totally genetic. I think being fit probably helps, but it doesn’t keep you from getting it. I know super thin people with cellulite, while some bigger girls have very little of it.
I don’t quite understand why she is wearing the outfit-the top and the shorts do not flatter. Cellulite can happen to the best of people and I am not being picky about that..but those shorts are way too short and she needs a bra. I dislike all “housewives” shows…well except I do watch Desperate Housewives sometime.
Re: cellulite:
I get that it’s mostly genetic, but there are a lot of genetic things that we can still influence w/ our lifestyle.
I know that cellulite is caused by structural weaknesses in collagen, and collagen is broken down by smoking and excess blood sugar, so I’m sure that smoking and eating sugary junk at least CONTRIBUTE to cellulite, if not cause it per se.
I know that a lot of runners don’t necessarily eat very healthy – many run precisely so that they can indulge. So maybe exercising and being thin isn’t enough to stave off cellulite if you still eat crap?
Does anybody know someone who is slim, exercises a decent amount, AND eats super-healthy (avoids dessert/fatty foods) and STILL has cellulite?
As for the picture of the woman above — a large part of her cellulite is caused by the way her knee is bent. If she had a straight leg, I’m sure it wouldn’t look anything like that. Whenever you see pictures of celebrities getting into a car with their legs bent like that, you almost always see a ton of cellulite (I can remember a picture of Rihanna that looked just like the one above).
These photos made me really happy. Something about seeing someone who obviously takes care of themselves and is beautiful not showing one sign of shame about her body’s “flaws”. She has a beautiful smile. I’ve never watched the show, so I can’t say anything about her personality, but people should really quit with rude remarks. YOU’RE NOT PERFECT EITHER.
No serious runner wears their hair down and 10 necklaces when they run. She’s pathetic
sushi, no I didn’t know that, but I should have assumed they would alter her photos. I guess pretty much any magazine does that stuff, which seems so pointless but oh well lol. ^_^
I wonder what some of you mean by ‘fit’. I’m 42 years old, I run for an hour every day and if need be I could run for several more but I do have cellulite. In fact, I think a even had it as a tween. Does this mean that I’ve never been fit in my life?
@Katy, To me this woman is by no means ‘old’. Aging is not some sort of disease, it’s a privilege. I have lost too many people in my life who would have loved to grow old(er). Life is not all about looks, personality can make for a beautiful person too. At no matter what age.
I think she’s pretty but I can’t stand the look of breast implants!
Cellulite is like diabietes, once you get it it’s impossible or hella hard to get rid off. I know nothing about this lady but I’m guessing she’s a smoker?
don’t want to say anything too negative, so i’ll say something nice: great arms.
She has a great figure for a woman of any age. anyone who thinks they can escape cellulite is sadly deluded.
I think these have been edited. Regardless she looks fabulous other than the cellulite! Gorgeous hair!
Why won’t people understand that action shots =/= reality.
If you take a picture of ANYONE as they are MOVING, their legs will look a million times worse.
We are not made of marble, stuff shakes around, these are photography artifacts, not some epidemics of bad cellulite.
I think she looks happy and as if she’s trying to stay healthy.
Can’t really critisize her for having cellulite, we’re all human after all.
Shes not old and even if she was that is no excuse for cellulite, its genetic. My mom is 52 and has not one drop of cellulite and she doesnt even exercise. Sorry but her cellulite grosses me out!!!
She is extremely masculine looking. Her shoulders are so wide, and her face looks less than pretty. That cellulite is scary. But all said it is her horrible personality that just turns me off completely. She thinks she is so gorgeous and so all that. Hey Kelly, your so not!
I wonder what she’s going to do when she sees these photos? Wear long jogging bottoms in the future? Have a caffeine wrap? Consider lipo?
I’m not too sure that the appearance of cellulite can’t be diminished by diet, I mean, I watch a lot of Asian cinema and I am yet to see any of their leading ladies with cellulite. I’m sure you could work the genetic angle into that but I’ve seen plenty of Asians in the West who eat the Western diet and have cellulite.
Not to mention that when you see those old black and white pictures of women in bathing suits even if they are heavier there doesn’t seem to be the degree of cellulite that even tiny women seem to have now.
I think it was too late, she starts to run after celulitte
umm, is she wearing a bra? maybe she should get a better one. no one needs to see your nipples while you’re working out.
She is very fit, and glad you posted these pics. She is a real woman, and despite being fit has faults and cannot escape celluite.
Thanks for posting.
Not only is cellulite something you get regardless of fitness, nutrition, weight etc… it is also really not that bad in her case.
I think people are underestimating the influence of light, angles and the fact that she is photographed while RUNNING.
Please.
I know many people who have terrible diets & don’t exercise,that don’t have any cellulite at all. For the people who claim that cellulite is caused by bad nutrition/laziness then that argument gets thrown out the window.
Jane, to answer your question in your 4th paragraph, the answer is YES. How many different ways & by how many different posters do some of you need to understand that it is mainly genetics.
@mickey Von Dutch, i agree, the paparazzi are just been mean to take that picture, having said that, wrong outfit, not many people can pull that off, unless you are in the olympic team.
It looks more like saggy skin than cellulite, but I’m bot sure. Either way her body is not pretty and don’t get me started on her awful plastic breast.
Mickey von Dutch, I just fell in love with you for this: “Aging is not some sort of disease, it’s a privilege. I have lost too many people in my life who would have loved to grow old(er). Life is not all about looks, personality can make for a beautiful person too. At no matter what age.”
She has a great body for HER AGE (minus the cellulite,of course) I don’t know if i’m the only one, but I really really don’t like the show. I find the women annoying, nasal, aggressive, attention seeking, rude and dominating.
Don’t have an issue with someone who thinks otherwise.
That’s just my opinion though!
Cellulite is a tricky subject. There are 250lb women with no cellulite and 120lb women with sh*t loads. Even with a low body fat percentage, the legs are often the last place to lean out and this means…you guessed it….CELLULITE.
Anyway I think she looks good, plus when the camera catches a person’s flesh in motion it can distort how things look. In real life her legs will not look nearly half as bad.
She looks good. She has thin legs, nice chest, toned arms, and she’ll be flaunting her stomach after a couple more workouts. So jealous of the tropical sunshine!!!
Wow! I really think Kelly is one of the best looking women on the NY Real House Wives. That said, I’m disappointed to see that she doesn’t have a better shape in these candid pics. Certainly pulled the wool over my eyes!
She’s 40 something and had a rocking body when she was modeling. AGE happens to the best of us. By the way, cellulite can be reduced by healthy eating & working out but it is hereditary. You can be skinny and have more cellulite than a heavier person. Your genetics unfortunately determine where it will show up. And ladies, lipo doesn’t get rid of it. Your best bet (if you don’t want to exercise & eat right) is lazer treatments.
For her age she appears to be in great shape (I say appear because technically being in good shape has more to do with cardio fitness and not weight/body…you can be thin but not in good shape). Anyway, and she’s in her 40’s, has poor skin elasticity because of the sun damage, so yeah cellulite will be there. Also To the people who say super fit women can’t get cellutie, uh: WRONG. As some one who competed cross country/track in college, and now beyond that, I can attest to the fact that plenty have at least some cellulite and some have a lot. And most of us run 70 miles a week and 85-90 when we’re more serious, with poly- drills and weights…and yup there is still cellulite, we joke thats why we run so fast in those little bun huggers: the fast we run then maybe people won’t see the bits of cellulite!
She looks like she has had lipo all over her body. No curves (fake boobs don’t count). Gross and fake.
She has said she’s run a marathon. So I would think she must be a ’serious’ enough runner.
I cannot stand this woman….she is such an obnoxious snot on the RH of NYC. She is dumb, no sense of humor, dumb, ill-mannered, dumb, insensative, dumb, confrontational, dumb, arrogant, dumb…..you get the picture.
Actually ALL of the HWs of the RH of NYC are the same as her, so I guess she is in good company.
I really do not understand why all these reality stars are now stars in their own right? What do they do to deserve the fame, money, recognition, etc. Not much…..
Oh…could really care less about her bod…..and I agree with everyone…such a photo op. A runner with crazy hair, crazy jewelry and no jogging bra….just like RH of NYC: NOT REALITY!
I think the cellulite is gravity pulling any loose skin down. I bet she dosen’t have it all the time, the pict was taken at the wrong time in her jog. SHe looks great but the outfit makes he look like she’s out for a photo op. If she was really running for fitness she would wear a sports bra and not be waving to the photographers. But Oh well….
