After a loss of 53 lbs, my BMI is under 30 for the first time in 10 years. I’ve never let my weight hold me back, but it’s almost impossible to describe how great I feel now. I’ve exercised as well as I could for years, but my fitness now exceeds anything I had in my 30’s. I’m 53, and looking forward to many more “younger years!” (I love success stories, so I’m throwing mine in the pot!)

    You look amazing! I can't wait to get to the point where I feel confident wearing a belt.

    frida001 yes! It’s the first belt I’ve owned in a very long time, may have to get another, ha! It really didn’t take that long once I set my mind to it, and so worth the new lifestyle! Good luck!

    Love this! I am in my fifties as well and you just gave me hope that it's not to late to look amazing. You look at least 10 years younger!

    Thanks tensquaredlives! I was inspired by a woman I know who recently lost 60+. I seriously would not have thought it was possible for her to look as great as she does now, I figured that ship had sailed, then I see her truly looking 10 years younger and just as cute as her old self! Made me think more was possible for myself than I realized, if I could just quit losing the same 20 lbs over and over and actually make some new headway! Now I know that you can do it too! I just wish I had believed it sooner

    I think I lost my reply to Kathryn247, thank you! I’m still amazed how much easier it is to have a “good hair day” when my hair is sitting on top of a more slender face, ha.
