I'm ashamed of what I did to my body and self esteem but I have to own it don't I? I'm 43 and got into the worst shape ever when I turned 40. I really started to feel like the best years had passed me by. Thankfully I found an awesome trainer and have turned things around. I've lost 15 kg and am half way to where I want to be - then I can seriously start building some muscle. I continue to be amazed by what the body and mind can achieve.

I just turned 48 in July of this year, currently weigh around 187lbs. I started MFP Feb. 14th 2015 at 305+ lbs. I have not done a comparison pic yet this year (I'm not much of a selfie person), but left was right before I started MFP in January of 2015, and right was going into late fall 2016 after I had reached my goal weight for a few months. I was at somewhere around 11-12% body fat then around 180ish pounds. I did a slight bulk this last winter (about 10-12 lbs worth) and am now cutting a bit here and there trying to get back down to 10-11% body fat, currently at 13%-ish around 187 lbs. I'll probably do another comparison pic late fall again.

@Sumiblue I can't decide what's better - the awesome definition in your back and shoulders, your outfit or your haircut! I want them all! Total inspiration
44 and 18 pounds down but still another 20 to go - plus a lot of weights. Then I'll be back here to post some pics myself!4 -

I am 43 and in the best shape of my life, my hubby is soon to be 49. We both still have a bit more to lose/gain! I've lost 49lbs and he has now lost 75lbs. We both feel better than when we were in our 20's!!

I'm 41 and approaching 42 here soon. Took 6 years off after we had kids. Bad mistake but it is what it is. Last two months I dropped 22lbs. So glad I still have dedication.
I still have another 22lbs to go. The journey is part of the fun.18 -

It's easy to give up because lots of people around you tell you it's impossible to achieve a slim, fit body once you hit middle age. Some people say even if it's possible it's not worth it because you're still not going to look good in your 40's. Prove them wrong! Share your success stories with pictures of your beautiful self in your 40's! I really need the motivation!
I absolutely hate the defeatism of people in regard to age. So many people just throw in the towel in their late 30s - 40s and just resign themselves to physical irrelevancy, it is tragic. I am in better shape than at any time in my life post-military, my nutrition and exercise programs are worlds better than the ones I practiced in my 20s.
You can use age as a motivator or as an excuse, choose wisely!21 -
