Needing Inspiration for 35+

As I laid in bed last night it hit me. I will never look like I did when I was 17. I have had 5 kids and lots of stretchmarks, loose skin and a bunch more flab. The flab I am working to fix, but the skin will never be taught like it was before kids. Even my legs are no longer smooth... I still want to look "hot" for my age though. What can I achieve? Show me your results! Do I hang up the bikini forever or is there really hope? Post your successful bikini bods here please!!!
