Getting fit and starting to feel more confident buying new clothes. I’m 37 and I just want to loss this weight before 40! My kids are adults now and it’s time I put my energy into myself. Been doing good so far but it’s nice to have like minded people

    Good luck! I got really focused at your age too and wanted to lose about 40lbs before turning 40 and I did it! I turned 40 in May and now I’m trying to lose the last 10.

    My kids are still young, but it took a switch in my mentality that allowed me to give some attention to myself and not give everything to the kids. Good luck in your journey!

    I don't have kids, but I felt the same about the impending 40's (I started my weight loss at 36 years old, last year).
    I thought I'd have a better chance at avoiding loose skin now :grimace:

    I've lost 44lbs so far. I don't know how much you're intending to lose, but I wish you success! :+1:
