Hi When I was 61 I weighed 304 I have lost over 120 lbs. I am 65 now, and feel great and quite rambunctious. I have 30 more to go. I know I'll accomplish it, because, the Lord willing, I'm NOT going to give up.

    Age IS a barrier and that's why your accomplishment is Olympian size! What determination and focus! I'm 65 and having trouble losing 30 lb so I'm glad I saw your post. I would LOVE to know your exercise tips! Thanks!

    Fantastic! I am 60 and was just wondering if I could really do this. Thanks for sharing as it has given me hope and belief that "Yes, I can and yes, I will."

    That's wonderful - you look wonderful. I'm 64 and have been wondering if I've left it too late to get my fitness back. 190 lbs before Christmas, 195 after - I found the app for my phone on 26 December and joined the site two days ago. You're the inspiration I need.
