[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run almost every day, and I've also recently added light weights.  I don't see much difference at 37 and I love how toned my legs and butt are from running.

37 lol get back to us when you're 57--I did all of what you are doing and more through my 40s. At 55 I developed arthritic knees that mock "what is important to me". I do believe that hitting the weights is the key though. But [b]you have no idea how much harder it is [/b]in your 50s.[/quote]

OP, I am struggling with the same thing at 49.   Now my lower abdominal skin is sagging to the point that pants fit differently  :shock:   (that area that gets stretched out if you have big babies and you have Anglo skin).   No amount of exhilarating exercise euphoria will change the fact that I have a dangling pannus which precludes any pants other than Mom Jeans.

My pre-baby-, 30-mile-a-week running self from my 30s didn't understand why any sentient woman would [u]ever[/u] choose to wear Mom Jeans when duh, lower-rise pants were in style.   Now, I get it.
