The person who first answered this question was essentially right on the money:
however, i do know some home remedies. for the stretchmarks, apply cocoa butter religiously as often as possible, along with vitamin E

for the cellulite, rub used coffee grounds on you thighs. its rumoured by Brazilian women that this works (and look at THEM).

None that work.

The cellulite is, obviously, subcutaneous fat that can be seen through the skin. The only way to get rid of it is to burn it, which means working out. If you've lost weight without working out, I strongly suggest getting into a cardio and weight regimen. Otherwise, the weight will likely come back later and you will have no muscle mass, which isn't pretty, and the skin will sag. I'm not saying this to be mean, because I avoided this after losing almost 80 pounds by working out religiously.

As far as the stretch marks, once they're there you'll have to use something to make them appear less prominent, but nothing will get rid of them (unless you desire plastic surgery -- they can drastically improve the look of the marks). Bio Oil is a good product for reducing the prominence of stretch marks.
