I have great legs and better than average skin tone for a woman who is almost 50 yrs old. No saddle bags at all. But before you blow raspberries at me you need to keep reading.
I am a classic apple shape. No matter my weight my hips, waist and bust do not differ by more than 2 inches from each other. I have a number of problems associated with metabolic syndrome. From fertility issues to HBP and Cholesterol. I have no lifestyle habits that contribute to my health issues. My body type is my only indicator. I have been in hypertensive crisis twice but the only evidence is damage in my eyes. Because of my lifestyle, I show no plaque build up even though my HDL is extremely low and my LDL is fairly high without meds.
I had oily skin until a few years ago. Does wonders for retaining good skin tone but is a big pain in every other way. Another MS issue.

Women with shapely hips often want my secret for eliminating saddle bags. I have to inform them that I have never had them in the first place, point out my less than desirable mid-section and then tell them how blessed they are to have the healthier shape.

From my observation, most women get either good legs or good stomachs but few get both. Those that do work for VS.
