Is it even possible to lose love handles after 45?

vinlop

I just finished a hard weight training day with a 15 minute ab workout at the end. I'm fairly new here, only been a member for about 1 1/2 months, and since that time, I have lost about 1.5 pounds/week putting me almost half way to my goal. This is definitely working for me, I really love everything about mfp.

My concern is I'm beginning to think that because of my age, I will never lose my love handles that I have had all my life. I am 45 and have been working out with P90X for the last 8 weeks. I have been extremely pleased with the overall results, even my stomach has become very less obtrusive, but I really want those love handles gone. I would like to be able to go to the beach or pool, take my shirt off and be confident with the way I look. I don't feel like I'm anywhere close to that now.

Has anyone had success at doing this in their 40's? If so, HOW???

Thanks,
Vince
