My mom is at the healthiest weight of her life. As a result, she’s no longer insecure, tired, and stressed. But it hasn’t always been that way.

My mom didn’t decide to take charge of her health until she was in her late fifties. Before then, she was overeating constantly to deal with the stress in her life, especially as she juggled her career as a nurse practitioner, family, and her doctoral coursework.

But once she decided something needed to change (with a little help from her daughter!), within a year she had lost thirty pounds and 12 inches off of her waist!

She’s proof that it’s never too late to lose weight and take charge of your health.

The Healthy blog recently featured her weight loss success story along with ten others who decided to get fit later in life.

One thing that my mom emphasized in her journey to get fit was the importance of braking bad habits and replacing them with good ones. “The most important thing was changing my habits and mindset, Mimi said, “I had to address the zillions of excuses that used to rule my life and derail my attempts to get and stay healthy.”

Mimi’s story as well as the other stories featured in this article are truly inspiring. People reported amazing life changes once they determined to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Checkout just a few of these testimonials:

“I lost 219 pounds and no longer have diabetes.”

“I lost over 100 pounds and got off pain pills.”

“My husband and I can now do ten-mile bike rides every day.”
