Is it too late for me to have that body?

jajewel Posts: 107 Joined: 2004/10/31	2004/11/30, 09:17 AM Hi! I am here to shed about 40 pounds, already lost 40 since my baby was born on Sept. 4th 2004...I just started the FT...seems like the workouts designed for me and all the rest days won't help me much, are the rest days important? Today is my rest day, and I feel like I am missing out on doing something for this body of mine. I am 38 years old and have a newborn and a 16 and 13 year old, back when I had my first children, I lost 110 pounds by working out every day, no weight training,no treadmill or bike, just Slim Fast and aerobics every day, and walking everyday as well. I know my age is against me now..hope I am not too old to get the look I want...I don't have stretch marks, and my skin still seems tight,but more cellulite than I have ever had in the past...that needs to go, any advise?? I was thin then but I wasn't strong or defined really. Will these workouts make me look stronger and more defined? I am hoping by spring of 2005????Is this possible?

I am still in the losing game and so far, since mid-July, I've lost 30 lbs. My tummy is nearly gone; I don't know if it will ever go away fully. Anyhow, do make sure you do cardio if you have fat (cellulite) that you want to lose. Take up walking if you feel the need to "do something" on your days of rest, that way you'll still be doing something. I dont' know if these work outs will work; heck, i just come here for the first time today! Good Luck!
