    I'm 47 and I've lost 50 lbs, dropped 6 inches in the waist, and my strength & endurance have increased significantly. You can absolutely do this.

    I'm 45, and so far I have lost 88 pounds, a total of 59 inches, and my body fat has dropped 13% points. I also have hypothyroidism. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, if you really want to do it!

    Never to late to start ANYTHING in this life! I started scuba diving when I was 49 and got married for the first time last year!

    I'm 55 in 2 weeks time and managed to lose 30lbs by a combination of the 5:2 diet and just upping my exercise. Get yourself a fitbit tracker or a pedometer and set yourself daily goals - they don't have to be high... just a bit more that you do normally and you will find the weight goes. The most important thing for me has been portion sizes and becoming food aware... READ the labels on what you are eating - just because it it low fat doesn't mean it is low sugar - a little pot of "low fat" yoghurt can have 3 or more teaspoons of sugar! scary! Also buy a smaller plate to eat your meals from and eat slowly and don't do anything apart from talk to your family when you eat - no reading no TV no phone, if you are aware of your food then it registers with your brain that you are eating and you don't eat as much... works for me anyway...

    Go girl... you can do it!
