12 weeks ago I embarked on a fitness challenge that changed my life. Approaching age 50 (June) I am determined to be healthy and physically fit for the first time in my life! I've made some notable progress (see photos)! I'm going to keep pushing to my final goal! I know that I can achieve it!lvgr9427gheu.jpeg

    Awwww that's SOO very kind of you! 50 is a big deal for me because I have siblings that I miss dearly that didn't reach this age (34 and 46 they passed away thanks to breast cancer and hypertension). I've gotta take care of me! I have 2 daughters 19 and 21 and an amazing husband that I can't imagine leaving right now! Thanks again!!

    I have a daughter your age and she asked the same question. LOL!!
    I followed a 12 week program on a website called bodybuilder.com there are tons of free programs there to choose from. It was really helpful!! Look it up and try one.

    I'm so incredibly humbled by all of the kind and encouraging comments! I'm wishing I could FaceTime each of you and personally thank you! I want to inspire and encourage others to live their best life, to defend their "personal time" to get healthier and to not be afraid of succeeding! Thanks again! I'm gonna keep pushing. I hope you will also!

    I turn the big 5-0 later this year too. Fantastic transformation. I agree with others you look much younger.
