    I’m 54 but feel 30something as I’m surrounded by people that age. It has an effect lol.
    I’m still working out lots but like you my kids are grown and almost all gone so it’s just me and the wife. Hopefully you’ll make friends on here to help with being alone .

    Honest @TheRoadDog LoL

    A month from today I will be 71 on Super Bowl Sunday. I know I feel better than when I weighed 376 in January 2013. Current Weight today was 178 at my WW meeting.

    Changed my Lifestyle and lost weight so I must feel younger I guess?

    You're amazing!!! You lost a whole other you + some!!! Well done! My Dad was a really big guy in all ways but because his belly was one of them we lost him a month after he turned 60....he would always say you don't see many heavy older people...I wish everyday he listened, glad you did!😘🤗 ....I hate to say my age but he was 10 yrs older than I and I'm gonna listen too😘

    I'm not 50 yet, but will hit that milestone this summer. I still have kids at home...the youngest is 9...so I guess that keeps me feeling younger (plus, trying to keep up with the other moms who are a decade or more younger than I am).

    I remember back when I was in my mid 20s, going to the gym and seeing women in their 40s working out, and wondering whether I would still be dragging my butt to the gym when I was there age. Now when I see women in their 60s or 70s at the gym I can't imagine that I won't be like them in a decade or two.
