I'm so glad to read all this stories and see the terrific results!
I'm 58, and I lost 50 pounds in these past 6 months, without exercise.
You can see my pictures on my profile.
I have 100 pounds to go, but one can still see an improvement.

I have 3 inspirations:
1) My 60th birthday is in 2 years.
2) Type II diabetes and its 20 years of ill effects need to be improved.
3) I want to have a long, healthy life with my younger fiancé.

Best wishes, everyone!

I am 56 and have lost half my weight over the past year and a half. I went from morbidly obese to overweight, still working my way down to "normal". I don't think there is any age limit on regaining our health, it's amazing how forgiving our bodies are. I no longer have sleep apnea or high blood pressure. I feel better than I have in decades!

I've got links to my stories on my profile page, here are a few pictures...




Best wishes to everyone, we can do this! :flowerforyou:

Since I am way over 50 ... I'm 67 ... I guess I can share my success with you in this thread. I became serious about getting back into shape when I saw this first photo of myself. I began to walk and exercise on a regular basis. I found MFP on January 3rd. I have been going at it strong since then and have included clean eating ... for the most part ... and calorie counting to my efforts ... in addition to a lot of cardio, kettlebells, and now strength training. I do not really have a weight goal in mind. My goal is to be fit ... feel better, look better and get back into a smaller size of clothing. The first photo was prior to attending a roaring 20s party. I couldn't find anything to fit so I had to make something. I cringe when I look at this photo. The second photo was taken this past Monday, March 18, 2013. I haven't yet reached my goal size, but I know that I will sometime this year. It has been a great deal of fun and I feel sooooo much better! You can do it too! Never give up ... never accept defeat ... never let yourself get down ... no one can do this for you ... only you ... and you are the best!
