Pounds lost: 75

Turning point: My 'aha!' moment was about six years ago, when I was approaching my 49th birthday—crazy how that magical number 50 can make such a difference in your life. I realized that if I didn't make a lifestyle change now, I might never do it! I gave myself one year to find that person that was screaming inside to come out (I also have to admit that I looked forward to wearing something other than sweatshirts and sweatpants). I wanted my sexy back!

Weight-loss tip: It is never too late to be great! I am the poster girl for women over 50—I encourage every body I meet to make a change—NOW. This is your time.
