    If Luke Skywalker wasn't too old to begin his Jedi training, you aren't too old for this!

    What? No way! I'm 47. You are never to old to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

    I felt the same way for a long time, and then my mother died of cancer at 63. Her lifetime of bad habits surely hastened her death. I looked in the mirror and said to myself if you are "too old to try".....then you'll be "too young to die" in a few more years.

    There are no guarantees in life, but I'll be damned if I'm going to open the door and invite the reaper in for tea any sooner than I have too! It starts in your mind. Every small step towards better health leads to more small steps. One day you wake up and realize you've climbed a mountain. Start with logging everything. Then start tweaking things, little by little.

    Hi Mandy, your are not to old. There are a lot of us "older folk" on here. I am 54 & started this in May of 2012. I have never been one to exercise but have come to love it. Just start somewhere, I chose to walk because it is free & I set my pace. I sent you a friend request if you don't mind an "old" friend.

    You are still a kid. I am 70 years old with a 21 year old attitude and still kicking. (I used 21 so that I can drink legally) Don't give up.

    Nah, there's lots of 40 something's here. A lot of people don't post in the forums so it might appear otherwise. I'm 48 and don't feel too old to be here. I feel too old when I have to ice my knees after exercise :laugh:

    I'll be 49 in 6 weeks and have more determination in my middle years than I ever had in my younger years....that's why I'm here NOW and wasn't then!!!

    Live the life you want! Don't let age define it. Or anything else for that matter.

    Well, I am in my 60's. Having been slender all my life except after menopause, I am doing this to be in better health,better shape,and into my skinnies! I think it is never too late to take charge of your health. and being healthier usually makes people look better- not only less fat,but less flabby and more toned. better energy, sharper focus. did you ever notice that even a bigger woman looks more attractive when she is energetic and fit? I am not all about size - I am about vitality.

    To old, or not to old. That is the question.
