I am 41 years old and just started bodybuilding in February of this year(08). I have always dreamed of being a competitive bodybuilder so May 09′ I will make this dream come true. It seems that for many years I lacked the discipline to stick to training and dieting or maybe other things in life became more important like raising 3 children. All 3 children are now grown with the exception of my daughter who thinks she is grown LOL! So far it has been a tough row to hoe because in August of last year(07) I weighed over 245lbs with approx. 34% BF so I had alot of fat to lose just to see where I was. It came off quickly because by December of 07 I had lost 52lbs and OMG there was muscle under that fat and that is what started me on the road to making my lifelong dream come true. I have had tremendous support form the O35 board and a vast amount of knowledge abides there and alot of BS too. Also the support that I have gotten from my bodyspace friends has been overwhelming.
