I posted in this thread 3 years ago and am happy to report that I’m still in maintenance, which makes it 7+ years since I lost 43 lbs and went from obese and sedentary to fit and active.
Loving my 40’s!!!
Before I carried a lot of weight around my middle, after losing I got my waist back...
My true passion is trail running...
Celebrating my 46th birthday at the beach...

I was on dialysis for three years and gained 75 lbs. After my kidney/pancreas transplant in 2009, I lost 93 pounds by lifting weights and walking. I was 47 when I started. It isn't impossible but you have to be intelligent about it. Start small and build up to avoid injuries.22

I started in the gym at 52. Did my first triathlon at 54. Loved how toned I looked. Got off track so starting again at 56 with the hope of getting fit enough to do a triathlon but not doing the day. I love the training. But unless I can take a kids doughnut and floaties I am not doing that swim again lol. Was convinced I was going to drown and could taste sea water for days after. Wasn't a pleasant experience. Lol7

Daaaaaammmmn, thanks everyone for sharing! I've got just a little over two years to go before the midlife crisis level, but you guys (and gals), give me so much hope that it can be done. Thank you!0

ThanksI run without shoes whenever I can, I prefer it that way! But when it isn’t ideal (for example due to temperatures, terrain or debris) then I wear very thin flexible 4mm diy sandals that are tied to my foot with a single lace, it’s the next best thing to going barefoot. I ran a fantastic 10K just this morning to get out before the ground gets too hot since it’s now in the 90’s where I live

The first is me at 21, when I thought my body was in it's prime and I wanted to get back to it (within reason) one day.
The 2nd is me now, 23 years later.

I went kinda soft during the pandemic after a year without strength training at the gym. Lost some definition. But I've managed to piece together some equipment at home, so I'm starting to get back at it. Patience...
