Not sure how this happened ... Ok so I do know how it happened but I find myself at 50 with 50 lbs to lose ... I need encouragement as I am sure many others need to have the same encouragement

    I lost 55lbs from the age of 47 to just before 48
    I got more active, got fit and lifted heavy stuff and regained the body I had in my 20s, before kids...actually my body is tighter now than it ever was

    Eat at a calorie defecit
    Move more
    Follow a progressive resistance programme

    I now have a BF % of 23%, a BMI of 24 and a resting heart rate that puts me into athlete category (for a 20 something)

    If loves my food, couch potato, asthmatic middle aged, full time working mum of 2 me could do it...anyone can

    Hello! I am 51 and have recently achieved my goal weight by losing 50lbs. My journey is not yet over as I now need to learn how to stay at this healthy weight.
    If I can do it, you can too!

    Good luck on your journey of lifestyle changes!
