Hello Julie, well you and I are both positive proof that middle age needn't be a deterrent to weight loss. Turning 50 was a HUGE factor for me, it's never too late to get the life you truly want. I too have a sort of vision board, and I read Vogue cover to cover every month, and watch my favourite designers' collections every season ( I devour every Fashion Week as if I were 20 years old again). It's so great that I can now actually wear a few really nice pret-a-porter items, though I can't afford many, I treasure the ones I do have
PS Julianne Moore is my inspiration, she's 53 and still looks great!
