Wow! Y'all are certainly living life to the fullest. I did step out of my comfort zone and did something crazy for my "50th" birthday! I lost a bet with my 19 yr old "adrenaline junkie" daughter and the wager was to go sky diving. Well, this chic is afraid of heights and would not normally go seeking this kind of thing out. Needless to say, I was true to my word (even though once there, signed in and waiting for our turn, my daughter gave me a free pass), I stuck to my guns and did it! It was exhilarating..... to say the least, however I am still ambivalent on whether or not I would do it again. I really loved reading all of your stories and y'all have certainly inspired me to get back out there, try new activities and to start living "la vida loca".

FYI, all newbies like me to skydiving have to jump with a tandem diver.1

Found my peeps, I turned 50 in June, I'm looking to do a body building show in Dec. The inspiration came from a TED talk, a 98-year-old man started competing at 80. Let me just say it's nice being sexy and sophisticated.5

@HeatherCSamps17 What a great way to celebrate your birthday. Thanks for the pics.
I like your starting living 'la vida loca'.
It will make your fitness goals so much easier to achieve.
I was thinking the other day, my 64th is upcoming, that I still had 26 years before I reached my mum's age of 90 (still independent) That is a heck of a lot of living to do, and I want to live life; not observe it passing me by.
Cheers, h.
And yes we go share a name.3 -
By getting out there and challenging yourselves, you have all given me much needed inspiration and of course my "mojo" back! ❤️ My sincere gratitude goes out to all of you! The spark ⚡️ has rekindled the fire1

Just turned 51, and feel great since joining MFP. Best thing I ever did for myself. I've lost 35 lbs. Wish I had done it years ago!3
