See photos of 80yr old female bodybuilder who says 'age is nothing but just a number'

After being named the oldest female body builder by the Guinness
Book of World Records in 2010 and 2011, Ernestine Shepherd, now
80, says staying out of shape at old age is merely an option, not a
mandate. Posting on her Facebook page on Friday which was her
birthday she said;

'Hello everyone! Happy Birthday to me! Thank you all for
your kind words, notes, cards, emails and phone calls. I
appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I've been so busy
enjoying my birthday that I forgot to post a birthday
message to myself. I am 80 years young today and I thank
God for bringing me this far.'

'I'm still determined, I'm still dedicated and I'm still
disciplined to be fit! I look forward to all that God has in
store because I'm just getting started. :) I love you all and
God bless. Love'
