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!

Valerie Bertinelli, 48, is on the cover of People Magazine and looking Age-MAZING!
It’s exciting to see that with some willpower, a good diet and lots of exercise, you can get your bod back even after 40! Of course, she’s been paid to do this, but still, it is inspiring!
On her blog at Jenny Craig, Valerie attests to feeling better than ever about herself, and obviously looks very healthy.
Have any of you had this type of success?
We want to hear your story! What diet and fitness tips can you pass on that can help us all look fabulous after 40?
If you are over 40 want to look good in your clothes, the first thing you need to make sure is that you’re eating healthy.
We came across this list today, of the 10 top worst foods.
I (JoJami) was shocked to learn that, even though I think I’m a pretty healthy eater, I’ve been making some bad choices.
On the list was Progresso soup, which I do enjoy and eat once in a while, and came to find out is extremely high in salt
Worst of all, my favorite night time snacks, buttered microwave popcorn, was on the “bad” list too.
SHOOT..I love buttered popcorn!
Now that I know this, I can start to try make better choices.
Let us know how you’re making better choices and if it’s worth it!
Who wouldn’t love to lose at least 5 pounds?
We’ve found one very cool and easy product that just might really help you make it happen. It’s a hypnosis CD that inspires you to make healthy eating choices and keeps you on track staying on any diet.
When we first heard about this we were a little skeptical. Hypnosis for weight loss? -sounded kind of whoo, whoo-out there, but we had a listen and we were impressed.
We learned that hypnosis is nothing freaky. It’s just focused attention (Like that state you are in when you are watching TV and your husband tries to talk to you and you don’t even hear him because you are so immersed in your show).
Well, apparently when you are in this state you are more open to suggestion – ie: Suggestions to eat healthy and stay on your diet.
The Enjoying Weight Loss cds are hosted by Dr. Roberta Temes, a very likeable, easy to listen to N.Y. hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, who is considered the top in her field.
We tried it out on a client of ours and she says that although she had her doubts since she had tried every way in the book to lose weight, she did find that this made it easier for her to stay focused and seemed to curb her cravings. She dropped 3 pounds in the first week and plans to keep using it.
Not only that, Health and Wellness magazine just did an independent study and it had a 92%, “Wow, It really works!”, rating.
No more dreaming… now you can just sit back and get motivated.
