    Your 'prime' is right now! Take it from me, someone who is only 'middle-aged' if I get to be 106!

    No way! I'm 41 and I'm feeling better than ever. I'm not as little as I was in my 20's but I'm in much better shape and have a lot more muscle tone now than I ever have. And I just started working out hard core about a year ago. Once I set my mind to it and really started counting calories and working out the weight really begin to drop quickly.

    I just turned 60 and no ................ too old sounds like an excuse to me. Get it together and move it. If I looked at the fridge and it had that on.....that would turn me off.....maybe your negative fridge.......needs to be changed to Hey.....move it beautiful....You can do this....just saying my 2cents worth. Change the negative to positive thoughts and see what happens...add exercise and healthy eating and you are not be too old to lose weight. GO for it!! Good luck

    I hope not - if you are at 44, what hope is there for me at 63?

    When I opened your profile I was expecting that you would be 70+ years. Is there really a time when "we are too old" for anything? NO not in my opinion, there is a time when it's too late but that only arrives the day they put you in a box, and leading a healthy lifestyle will hopefully ensure that, that day will be a long time coming.

    LOL I sincerely hope not! I'm a decade older than you and I think it's working pretty well! Good luck. You can do it.

    Lol I agree :)

    Too old to lose weight? There is no such thing. I lost 27 lbs last year when I was 50. I completed the C25k and a 2 hr Zumbathon this year at 51.

    All you need to do is start. Eat healthy food most of the time and save the junk you love for occasional treats. Do what you can for exercise. Start slow, but push yourself so that over time what you can do becomes what you need to do to stay fit.

    No way - and I am the proof! I am 56 and from April last year until early May this year I lost 97lbs and have maintained my weight since then. There is no excuse to not get in there right now and make your life more healthy. I am nothing special - so you certainly can manage it! Go for it - start now!!!

    No Way!!!!
    I am a young 64 power walk around 15 miles most normal days.Hike through the hills and dales,climb trees and saw them down.MY children are in their 40s....Dont keep giving yourself permission to stay overweight,change 1 small thing for the good everyday.Throw a wobbly when you fall off your wagon which you will surely do but dont stay off pick your heavy butt up and get straight back on track again..You are worth it and you can do it if YOU WANT TO.
