Will you look this good at 76? And by "you," I mean "me". LOL

Ms. Shepherd says: "Hello friends. Welcome to my fan page. I am glad that you found me here and I do hope that my page will keep you inspired to be determined, dedicated and disciplined to be fit!
I have a 1,700 calories a day, mostly comprised of boiled egg whites, chicken, vegetables and a liquid egg white drink.

I have been married for 53 years and grandmother to a 13-year-old. I am exactly where I want to be."

    Awesome, what an inspiration. I think the secret to staying young mentally and physically is to stay active. If you dont use it you lose it

    one of my heroes for a long time now. and since she runs 10 miles a day, she's proof that lifting and extended cardio are counterproductive

    OMG, thank you for posting this. I just started lifting tonight, before I saw this, and at 56 was wondering if it was even worth it! But she is incredible! Thanks again!

    Oh wow she doesn't look 76. For me, she look like 40 something with a hair dye.

    That's actually my long term goal.... to still look hot at 70 or 80 something.

    By the way this is so inspiring especially to people who are in the 40's & above & even for someone in the 30's like me.

    Thanks for sharing. This is very encouraging. I am 52... That means if she can be in that good of shape at 76, there is hope for me as well... awesome!

    She's 76? WOW. My mother is 56 and she looks young for her age, but Ernestine still looks younger and fitter than her. I am utterly amazed, she must be the coolest grandma ever!

    Oh, I just thought of this - I am so showing this to my mom who says lifting heavy weights gives you wrinkles.
