in Success Stories
I knew I could do it ... I knew that it wouldn't be easy ... I knew it would take patience, consistency, and determination. It takes a lot to reverse the results eating too much, old joints, and gravity ... but I'm beginning to see a difference. My goal is to change the shape of my body. The weight is not a concern as it will disappear as a by product. This is my nine month progress on MFP. The first picture was taken a year ago. It was my catalyst. The other pictures were taken today ... my nine month MFP anniversay. I still have a good way to go ... still have layers of fat in my mid section ... but my butt is firm ... just need to have the same success with my tummy area. I began lifting heavy about six weeks ago ... that is when I turned a corner. LOVE ... LOVE ... LOVE lifting heavy. I get a lot of strange looks at the gym ... all my time is spent in the weight area ... just me and the boys. They walk away with a smile on their face though when they learn I'm 67!

    Awesome!!! You look great. Congratulations to you - I just joined a gym this weekend and am wondering what your workout schedule looks like. Do you lift and do cardio every day? Just curious.

    WOW!WOW!WOW! - - you do not look that age at all. your body looks fantastic.....very inspirational. i have an on-off again relationship with kettlebells (the only kind of lifting i've done so far in my journey), but i think this is going to inspire me to start doing it more regularly now.

    I see so many posts on here from folks over 50, who say they are just too old or their body just can't change any more ( I am 51 btw). Anyway, they should all read this post!!! Amazing!!!

    Goodferyou girl, it IS so much harder when you get to a certain age! :drinker:

    Interested - what is it that lifting weights does for you which other workouts don't?
