Hi Laura if removing the popcorn doesn't work out you might consider just covering them up. You can purchase Styrofoam ceiling tiles now that weigh almost nothing that you can just glue up and paint afterwards as well. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/floors-ceilings/covering-up-a-very-ugly-ceiling-with-styrofoam-ceiling-tiles-29254181

Have you considered covering them instead of removing them? Here's an example of some tin tiles you could use to cover. Or go for the less expensive cardboard option and spray paint them with metallic paint. http://entriwp.com/2015/02/05/tin-ceiling-tiles-reflect-light-brighten-a-room/

Saturate with water first, then use the scraper. Make sure to protect yourself and walls & floors. This makes a big mess, no matter what method you use.
