Okay, I will try and answer your questions as best I can.

1st - How I found your site. I was on the beachbody.com web site and saw something about cowgirl and loosing so much weight/testimonial. Anyhow, I saw your thread of unbelief. Anyhow...here I am.

For starters all of my cellulite problems are in my thighs. Thanks to heredity, I have big thighs - at least to me. The rest of my body looks great, but over the past 5 years cellulite has taken a hold of my thighs and won't let go.

2nd - Exercise. Mon, Tue, Wed - I walk apx. 3 miles in the mall (45 min) with my friend at lunch. Very very brisk walking. Trust me - I sweat!

Mon, Wed, Fri Evenings - I do Tony Little's Target Training Video for legs, thighs, and butts. I started doing this a week ago and I thought I would die. The squats made the front of my legs so sore I could hardly walk and I did the beginner. Okay...so you know now I am not in shape.

Tues, Thurs, Evening - I pull out a video among my vast collection. I become bored very easily, so I rotate what I do. One night I will do belly dancing, Richard Simmons, etc. You name it - I have it. These last about 30 minutes. As I already have big thighs, I do not want to do any strength training that will make them look bigger. I like the all over body fitness stuff.

Sunday & Sunday, my family and I go hiking in the mountains. We usually will walk between 2 & 4 miles. If it rains, I will get on the treadmill.

Mon - Fri, I get up at 5am, because I have an hour drive to work. I cannot get up any earlier to exercise in the mornings.

I think I am in very good shape with what I do, but even when I did karate for nearly two years - the cellulite was still there! UGG!

3rd - I follow the Weight Watchers Meal Plan. I never go over 23 points per day and never cheat. I am very committed. They require 2 servings of milk per day, 6 servings of fruits and veggies, 8 glasses of water per day, etc. So, I think I eat very good.

4th - Supplements. I don't take them. I don't like them. I swear, they make me gain weight. I am on birth control pills and I swear they have made me gain weight too. I have talked to my doc, and this will be the last month I take them.

5th - Body Fat Assessmet - My BMI is 23.3. Other than that, I have had nothing. I would be too humilitated to let anyone see me! Can I do this the B.F.A. myself?

I closing, I am a wife and mother of 2. My long drives to and from work prevent me from having much time to myself. So, I count it a blessing to get in 30 minutes of exercise any day. AND... I don't like squats or anything like it. I simply will not stick to any routine that has them.

Thank you so much for your time.
