    I have no idea how to post pics in here but am 53 and have lost 40lbs just by counting calories and exercising a couple of times a week. It goes to show this can be done without spending half your life in a gym!!

    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

    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.

    Looking VERY good. Well done.

    Oh I wish I had some pics, but at my worst I was shy of the camera. I now wish I had taken a candid one June 2012 at 197 lbs. I am 5ft 5ins and I am 63. I am now 157 lbs. - 40 lbs lost! It feels so good! I have about 10 more lbs to lose and then I will have a careful look at myself to see if I should lose a bit more. It will be so good to be in the normal BMI. I had such a shock when I saw Obese written on my doctor's computer. I am going soon to have my blood pressure checked to see if I need medication still. I do an hour on machines every day, yoga once a week, and have just started face exercises for saggy bits and light weights for bingo wings. My health and mobility has improved out of all recognition. The new jeans I bought myself are now way too big! I am so going to enjoy this summer without puffing and sweating and thighs rubbing together. My feet used to be shot as well so I could never wear sandals. This year I can get my feet out. Nail varnish counter here I come!

    I don't have before and after pictures YET - but today is my first day back and I am ready to beat this weight thing in spite of myself. I am almost 60 and need to get some of this weight off.

    I'm only approaching 38 and thought it was too late for me to bother losing weight. I appreciate everyone on this thread for inspiring me to stick with it. You are all awesome!

    Especially Gnasher who said, "never mind life begins at 40 or 50, it begins when you start to live it! " Words to remember!

    It's never to late to bother. I do wish I had started earlier though! This years holiday is the first without the kids, just when I'm getting fit enough to whup my son at tennis. That would have felt sooo good.
