In 2019, Susan Guidi was not putting herself first. She wasn’t taking care of herself physically, she wasn’t mindful about what she was eating, and she wasn’t thinking kind thoughts about herself. Now, Susan is a 64-year-old grandmother who is leg pressing 305 pounds. Beyond her impressive physical transformation, Susan has gained newfound confidence, motivation, and a palpable excitement for life. She wakes up grateful everyday and deeply believes that her possibilities are infinite. She hit the reset button on her life in her 60s and now she inspires other women, shows up for her loved ones in a new way, and, most importantly, shows up for herself. She did it with “no pills, no crazy cosmetic procedures, just determination, grit, and mindset!”

“Life is hard, so choose your hard.”
“I want to be vital for my grandbabies. I want them to say, ’This is my grandma, look what she can do! Can your grandma do that?’ ”
“How would you treat a baby? You would nurture them, love them, and feed them the most delicious things so they would be healthy. So I incorporated all of those things towards myself.”
“The cool thing is, once you love yourself, it’s so much easier to love other people.”

I am 75 years old and heavier now than I have ever been in my entire life. My numbers are good “except” for cholesterol; the doctor and I have a discussion every year after my annual physical, they push/encourage a statin to lower the number. I actually did try the prescription method once, but had side affects which I do not want to experience again.
My clothes don’t fit, I am tired and crave certain foods (sweets) that are not healthy. I am hoping that by joining the AGEIST Movement I can lose weight, reduce the unhealthy number, increase my energy and feel better.
Thank you for allowing me to join your movement.
Ms. Susan Guidi is great. I love how beautiful her physique photos are.
