I am 61-years-old and was 5'1" and weighed 232 pounds. I am 93 pounds lighter now. It has taken a lot of hard work and a total lifestyle change to get to where I am at today. I haven't reached my goal yet, but I WILL. It is hard to share these "Before" pictures, but I want everyone to know it CAN be done, especially my fellow seniors. There was no magic, no surgery. I made a lifestyle change and a commitment to be the best I can be.

Thank you to all my pals here on MFP for encouraging me on this last leg of my journey.

    Definitely gives me hope as I turn 55 in a few months. Every day I deal with doubts that I can succeed at my age so your story is one I need to hear.
