Seeking Success Stories of People 60+ to Inspire My Dad

AyaRowan

Hi there!

Ever since I've started on my journey to a healthier lifestyle, I've wished my dad would follow suit and do the same. It hurts my heart to see him feel miserable every day, and I want him to be around for much longer.

He's 64 with heart issues, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, arthritis, etc. He's finally showing interest in eating healthier so I would like to find some individuals around his age who have had great success and improved health after changing their lifestyles. Picture posts would be especially helpful. I feel if he can see that healthy eating and calorie counting isn't just for young people and that people his age can do it too that he'll be more likely to believe in himself.

Is anyone willing to share their successes or does anyone have a link to another post or gallery of success pictures of that age range? I tried searching the forum, but I couldn't find a search term that actually returned the type of posts I had in mind of older individuals.

I searched for "over 60". There are several threads in the results that I think speak to your need.
