In just over 30 days I'm about to turn 50! Determined to become a newer, better, more healthy version of myself! Living in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte. Always up for an extra walk or workout if you're interested!

    Just turned 50 and been at this for one month and 9lbs.
    In Florida so it would be a long drive! :)

    You're doing something right. Neither of you looks anywhere near 50!

    I recently turned 29 for the 21st time. The next is supposed to be the 1/2 century mark, but I will call it the new 30.

    Darn it! You beat me to it! I always tell people I'm celebrating the 23rd anniversary of my 29th birthday! :D I can honestly say I'm healthier now than when I was 29! When I was 29 I battled chronic pain and fatigue from fibromyalgia as well as a few other chronic conditions. Exercise was unknown. Now I run and lift and the chronic pain and tiredness only rear their ugly heads occasionally.

    OP, 50 isn't a bad age. I don't buy into that "50 is the new 30," 50 is 50 but like anything else, it's what you make of it! Happy early birthday OP!
