From 203 soft pounds down to 174 lean pounds, age 60

My son Sebastian approached me at the age of 57 and put forth a challenge to me, to do a 12 week physique transformation and get in better shape than had been experienced in several years. I accepted the challenge and began by checking my weight and body fat etc.

I adhered to a diet and exercise regimen that Sebastian monitored and oversaw. Together, the exercise and diet work very effectively. I didn't realize that diet, including the number of meals (6 per day), was such an important part of developing lean muscle mass. Formerly I would have resorted to more rigorous exercise in order to improve the overall physique, without taking diet too seriously.

At first, I remember thinking that I felt better, stronger and more fiter, but was unable to see any obvious physical changes. However, after a few weeks, I could see the transformation almost over night. I was encouraged to say the least

I recognized clearly at that point how much diet and the number of meals per day played into producing the necessary results. I lost 30 pound during the 12-week challenge. I was so encouraged by the results that I accepted my sons next challenge, proposing I do an actual bodybuilding competition at 60 years of age.

After training and dieting hard, I felt that just being on that stage with competitors 15 to 20 years my junior was trophy enough. I knew at that point that, even at 60, one can come up with the results to compete in a bodybuilding show. Belief, consistency and hard work finally paid off, as I managed to walk away with a second and a third place trophy in two categories. It was good to have some hardware.

As a result of this experience I expect to be competing into my late 60's and 70's. In fact I am presently preparing for another bodybuilding competition, now at age 61.

May you find the same sense of accomplishment to become a reality for you.

	Lorna My name is Lorna and I would like to share with you my experience with the Inches Weight Loss program. When I joined, I was 158lbs and my size 14 clothes were too tight. Eight weeks later, I reached my goal weight of 135. It is now 7 months later and my weight remains between 133 and 135. I have lost 21.5 inches and wear a size 5.

	Beverly Losing weight, hmmm, where do I begin.well let's start at the beginning! My struggle with weight started in my early 20's. I was in extreme denial that I even had a weight problem until one day after Christmas, when I was looking at some pictures and I didn't know who the fat girl was in one of the photos, until I looked real close and realized it was me!!! That started the journey.

	Sarah After having my second child in July I was determined that I would lose all the baby fat that I had kept on from my first pregnancy. I wanted to fit into my pre-baby jeans again.

	Margaret Inches Weight-Loss, what can I say about this diet. First thing, it is not a diet. Inches encourages you and puts you on the road to healthy eating. All the meals are well proportioned, if anything there is more than you want to eat.

	Danyel In a time long, long ago, in a land far, far away, I was thin. But then I hit my twenties and it went downhill from there. I was the type of person who avoided exercise like the plague and my food groups were fat, chocolate, salt, and sugar.

	Margot I've always had a weight problem. Over the years, I've watched my jean size go from an 8 to a 12, and my scale weight rise from 133 lbs to 158 lbs. I am 5"1, so this weight range is very unhealthy for a woman of my stature.

	Glen Dunlop I had been going to Andy Young's Muay Thai class for a few weeks and walked past the Inches office three times a week. The reason I had joined the club in the first place was I had pretty much hit rock bottom fitness-wise. I had always struggled with fitness and was the poster-boy for the "roller-coaster" that most people who have struggled with it will understand.

	Deborah Savage Thanks to Inches Weight Loss fitness bootcamps for getting and keeping me off my "fence"! We've all been there and so many people still are when it comes to self improvement. Sitting atop our self-made "fences" daydreaming of how in-shape we once were and where we should be or could be, if only the fence top wasn't so easy to stay on.
