[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is one thing to accept wrinkles and grey hair. It is quite another to stop exercising, eat junk food, and become a couch potato.[/quote]

Yes. I'm 70 and have embraced the gray hair, don't love the wrinkles, but I accept them, and am very active, healthy, fit, and 10 pounds over what I weighed at age 17.[/quote]

I want to be you. I'm 59, and getting heavier. I don't exercise enough, and keep gaining weight. Starting (slowly) to exercise more (just moving is something) and eating more salads and less carbs, ie restricting my caloric intake. I've always eaten healthy foods, taken supplements for years, GF for past 12 years. But when you get older, your metabolism slows, so you have to cut back on what you eat, and you feel hungry all the time!! It's torture!! But I hate being heavy, and I know how dangerous it is, especially as you get older.
I weighed 118 lbs when I was 17. I weight 175 pounds now. I don't think I'll ever weigh 128, but I'd be happy to be 160 and very fit, as I was before the pandemic. 
I don't do botox and will never do surgery, but I take care of my skin (no chemicals because I have severe allergies), never go in the sun (have not gone in the sun since my 20s), so I don't have any wrinkles. 
You're my inspiration, PP!! I dye my hair though because I'm job-hunting, and need to look late 40s. Gray hair makes you look 80!! [/quote]
