Ms. Ernestine Shepherd, who next to my mother is such an inspiration for me & is a living testimony that it's never to late to lose weight, get fit or even become a body builder. At age 56 & 57 she & her sister looked at themselves as they tried on swim suits 4 a party & knew they had work to do :-) I hear so often from people that they're to old or it's to late to try & it's not. Ms. Ernestine & her sister found that all U have to do is get started. They started w/ aerobics classes & then moved to weight lifting to sculpt their bodies. As Ms. Ernestine made excellent progress she decided to participate in competitions which led her to a diet that required high protein. She shared that she drinks liquid egg whites, three times a day & runs at least 10 miles a day. Last month a week before she turned 75, she was in another national competition showing what the article calls, her signature span of chiseled abs! Go Ms. Ernie GO!
