Quote from: Lew on May 15, 2017, 06:54:28 AMThirty is still very young. As others have mentioned, you still have time to do plenty of things you wished you would have done sooner. I remember my thirties well, because I used to be morbidly obese (260 plus pounds) and lost 115 pounds in the span of seven months. At 34 my hair had completely thinned out and two years later I spent the next 15 years going to Hair Club as I helplessly drowned in the sea of hair loss denial. I am now in my fifties and having the time of my life. No, I'm not having a midlife crisis, because crisis implies conflict. I'm having a midlife clarity. I'm enjoying my 50s more than my 30s or even my 40s. My point is not to worry about turning thirty. Make choices that you feel good about and at the end of the day your age is irrelevant. Enjoy, endure, and embrace your life!Well you definitely don't look like you are in your 50's, Lew! Living a happy and honest life must be some of the reasons you have aged well. "Enjoy, endure, and embrace your life!", I love it! I appreciate the words of wisdom!Oh yeah, how did you loose 115 pounds in seven months?? That's amazing!

You know you made my day when you said that I don't look like I'm in my 50s; it has been a great decade for me so far.I lost 115 pounds by eating roughly 500 calories a day and exercising between 3.5 to 4 hours daily as well. I wouldn't recommend it, but I've kept most of my weight off for 18 years!
