Beware… you might get inspired by this post!

This FAF reader is looking red hot at age 42! Read on to find out how...

Hi ladies,
I lost 23 lbs, four years ago and at 42 years old I am in the best shape of my life. I keep fit by eating a healthy diet consisting of lean protein, lots of veggies, whole wheat grains and nuts. On weekends I eat and drink whatever I want.

My quest for fitness started after reading a great book titled, Body for Life by Bill Phillips. It was then that I started eating healthy. and implementing an exercise program incorporating weight training for the first time in my life. Weight training is very important for us over 40 girls. It sculpts your body like nothing else, revs up metabolism and helps with bone density health.

My workout consists of weight training twice a week, kickboxing classes and gym or outdoor cardiovascular activity five times a week.

Thanks for a wonderful informative website, keep up the good work!

Thanks Sandy, you have certainly inspired us, wow, your body looks absolutely terrific!!!

After reading your letter, I (JoJami) called a girlfriend and sent her your story and photo and she flipped. So now, we have a date to go to the gym on Thursday to start our first weight training workout. She has “the book” and did Fit for Life about 4 years ago with great results and is ready to get back on the program again! I do not need to loose weight, but I am looking forward to toning up and eating better!

I hope I can post a photo like yours one of these days!
