    Hi Pam. I totally agree with you. I'm 43 and I need to lose a total of 60lbs. Seeing and reading these stories I know I can do it and so can you. 😉

    Before: 209 lbs. After: 166 lbs.
    Started out obese, living a completely sedentary lifestyle. Over 10 months lost 43 lbs and started exercising regularly for the first time in my life. I was able to reverse the health conditions that were occurring as a direct result of obesity and found my passion which is trail running! No special diet, just ate less of whatever food I wanted, I even eat fast food quite a few times per week, I just make better choices than I used to. All the “after” pics are from this past year, I am 44 years old and have maintained my goal weight for the past 5 years. If I can do it, truly anyone can, it’s never too late to start!

    @pam46815 and @JJAustin It's good to see others in the same place I am and just as good to see others who have been successful! I am 47 and need to lose 60 pounds. We can do this!

    Amazing job! I had that same moment of clarity where I realized I either do something now or descend into poor health as I get older, possibly shortening my lifespan.
    You look 10 years younger and I’m sure feel it too.
