    I turned 39 last month and decided to get rid of the weight I put on since I moved in with my boyfriend (who loves to cook)! Not a fan of kids tbh.

    Only 8 kg to lose but they all gather stubbornly around my middle. :angry:

    I'm a 38 year old SAHM of four (ages 13-21) Two of my children live on their own, my second youngest, lives with dad. My youngest lives at home with me and my husband. My eldest is about to make me a grandmother in February. I started losing weight July 2013 at 265lbs and today I am currently at 189.3lbs. I want to be fit and fabulous when I hit forty. Add me.... the more the merrier!

    Hi there, My good friend SJ is posting this for me as for some reason I can't create any messages (a problem myfitnesspal are aware of).

    My Name is Teresa Turnbull, I'm a 38 year old mother of 2 young boys and 2 teenage stepkids.

    I am looking for support and encouragement to help me shift this weight once and for all. I have over 100lbs to lose, my weight ballooning after having my boys, although if i'm honest i've struggled with my weight all my life.

    I have recently been through the worst time in my life and turned to food to comfort me. I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer, just 6 weeks after diagnosis, on September 14th 2014. My wee dad couldn't cope and died just 17 hours after her, on September 15th, heart attack.

    I made a promise to my mum that I would lose this weight and get healthy for my boys, their 'golden boys' as they called them.

    This is one promise I fully intend to keep but I need support.

    In my first 2 weeks i have lost 10lbs.
    teresaturnbull1976 is my username.

    I am 39 and will be 40 this March. I am currently separated from my husband an a mom of 3 ages are 21, 19 and 9. I have a min of 40lbs to lose. I want to lose it before I turn 40 and would like to be able to get back into a bathing suit and feel good about it by next summer.

    I have just joined a Gym and a boxing club as well as a personal training studio I am working out twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening for and 1 hour at a time. I am trying my hardest to eat clean an stay focused with what I want.

    I have find it really hard to put myself first in the past but I am determined to do that now I do not want to let myself sit on that couch and let another year pass by being unhappy with my weight.

    I am taking it one day at a time but when I say I want to be in shape I mean in fitness competition shape. That is one of my all time goals I have all this knowledge in my head but I have noticed over the years that I have lacked the focus and determination it took to change myself.

    My 30's were not the best but I am determined to make my 40's the best time of my life. I don't have many friends on this journey as I am in a new state and don't know many people so please feel free to send me a friend request because I could use the encouragement and don't mind supporting others in the journey as well.

    43, part time work with a 7 year old son. Have done well tracking and upping my movement in the past couple of months but some days it's hard to keep the motivation going so I'm always looking for 40ish women for support. Have another 10-15 lbs. to go.

    I'm turning 38 next week with no kids by choice and I can say that I don't mind getting older. I'm in the best shape of my life and I feel so amazing! Not to mention I still get carded occasionally. :)

    I used to eat whatever I want, whenever I wanted and wasn't active. Once I hit my mid-30's and became obese I knew it was time to do something about my health.

    A few years later I'm now at a healthy weight and I take care of myself such as working out daily, don't smoke or drink, I drink a lot of water, and I take preventative anti-aging steps like drinking green tea daily, putting superfoods in my smoothies like collagen and wheat germ and I use a high quality cream for my eyes, neck and hands everyday.

    It's never, ever too late to turn your life around and get healthy. :)
