    Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You are worth it and you owe it to yourself . Take one day at a time. Not everyday will be perfect but every day you try will make you healthier and proud of yourself.

    Are you kidding me?! My parents are in the best shape of their lives in their 60's. They didn't start getting fit until their 40's You can do this!

    Hehe ... I was going to comment that you're not too old, but a ton of people beat me to it.

    Maybe you can set goals along the way ... like getting new ink every time you hit a goal! Now that I think about it, maybe I will do that too!

    I'm 48, so feel free to friend me. We can compare stats and ink!

    I turn 50 next month and I'm in the best shape I've been in in years! I've had amazing results since starting my "fit at 50" campaign in November. So no -- it's never too late! And think about it... if you don't do anything, things will get worse, but if you do something/anything at all at any age, it can only get better! Feel free to friend me if you want support from someone firmly in middle age -- and kind of loving it!

    No: I was a senior when you were a sophomore. You can do it. I'm rooting for you.

    Never too late. Set reasonable goals, keep a food record, and exercise. I'm 62 and recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as a result of pancreatitus. Takes discipline.

    You aren't too old until you're dead. I'm 49 and just started this yr. Hit my goal (33 pounds) in about 7 1/2 months and feel better than I have felt in years!!

    My step dad is in his mid 70's and he has lost over 60 pounds this year using MFP. There is no age limit to get fit. If you are on this side of the dirt, getting fit is always a possibility.

    STOP WITH THE EXCUSES!!!

    i was too old, too fat, to sick, too tired, blah blah.

    If you think you are too old, read my profile. I am 35, obese, ive had two strokes from blood clots in the brain, i have fibromyalgia and COPD just to name a few.

    PLEASE! You are far from too old! YOU CAN DO THIS! Promise yourself 66 days. You will MOVE for 66 days. It takes 66 days for something to become a habit!

    KICK BUTT!! :heart:
