I'll soon be 56. This is my progress so far. I am very close to my goal. I won't say it was the easiest thing I have ever done. But, it was so much easier than I thought it would be. And, it was easier than staying in pain and living like a hermit. Life has improved 100%!

Believe in yourself. You can do anything that you think you can. You can't do anything that you think you can't!
Good luck!

great...another amazing transformation

Hi, this is my first post. I'm 53 next week, 5'7" and 175lbs. It's great to see so many before and after pics, they keep me going. It's not so easy when you're getting on. The best thing is, once you start making progress you just don't feel so old anymore, never mind life begins at 40 or 50, it begins when you start to live it! Here's my before and during pics, I'm still overweight so I have a bit to go.

The before photos are from my holidays last year. I didn't start dieting and exercising (Power 90) until September when I weighed in at 230lbs.







Here's Day 1 of Power 90



Progress so far









I'm sorry there's so many pics, but I'm just so chuffed to have come this far. I hope this inspires others to try. It's never too late.

well you've defiantly inspired me...and boy am I getting my 48 year fella on the "power 90" thank you!!! you look great by the way well done

HI. I am not good at the pics and sizing but here they are. First one May, 2012 276 pounds, and the second one is March 9, 2013 when I was running my first 5k, 34:50 (Not bad for an old 50 year old, eh) at 190. I am 185 now. It hasn't been easy but not as hard as I thought it would be. I have 20/25 pounds to reach my goal weight but it IS POSSIBLE for people our age

Fantastic job!!! you look great ...this is inspiring me soooo much as I'm 46 years this June and keep thinking I'm too old to achieve my final target loss of 140lbs ...but I truly believe I'm going to do this time...thank you for sharing your journey :happy:

Thanks Helen. I hope you don't mind, but I looked at your profile, being a fellow Brit. I wish you all the best in everything that challenges you. Your attitude to life is also inspirational. Good luck.:bigsmile:

Well, I'm 49. Close enough? If I can do it, you certainly can.

The difference for me is a result of six months worth of hard work and eating more healthy ... still have a long way to go .... I'm 67 years old.
