I'm not saying 40 is old, but its a milestone....its an age when you say it people are like oh 40:ohwell: ....I want them to be like WOW 40?!!!:bigsmile: .........well at the very least I want to feel like that LMBO
okay so I am asking my dear family here to please help by naggin...I mean "reminding" me I need to stay on track....I'm vowing to myself to record every morsel I eat....(sometimes I get lazy at night and guesstimate...not good:noway: )....and do rev up that exercise....running club if I don't post....please kick my butt! lol...
anyway wish me luck and any words of wisdom or encouragement will be sooooooooo appreciated! lol...plus I need to get my energy up to the level of my darling son's....he's amazing and he deserves my all....since of course he is my all...and my
okay thanks my sweet family!!! love you guys!:flowerforyou:

I'd go ali! Course I'm only like 35 miles away...
Maybe I'll bike there. Through roxbury, that'll keep me riding hard!0 -
I am 41 and I just reached my goal! I am actually smaller than I was in my 20's - but now it's about how I feel and it makes all the difference. I feel better about myself now - just because I accomplished this goal. Age is all about how you feel! BESIDES - 40 is FABULOUS!!!

YOU CAN DO IT ALI !!!!

Just do what you can. Just because your b-day is coming up, doesn't mean you have to be at that goal weight by then. Just keep going! You are so beautiful anyway!!!
It's just a numba!
Yesterday I was told I looked 10 Years Younger! woo hoo!
Went to a party where I haven't seen anyone in a long time, and they asked how I did it, their first question was "Weight Watchers?" NOPE, The Jennifer Bar..... Diet!
And my girlfriends Aunty said, as she was leaving, I'm leaving here and going on the Jennifer Diet and next time I see you I'm gonna look like you!
Yikes, that's the second person (be it, they are older) that have said that to me. THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SAID TO ME.... EVER!!! Very exciting.
Okay, enough about me, now, what was I saying,
oh yeah,
YOU CAN DO IT ALI!!

*insert one of shannons/soups numerous butt kicking emicons here... coz i dont know how to*:frown:
by the way, you're the second person i know thats born on the 6th of Oct (the best month ever:smokin: )0 -
aahhh..geez....I REALLY shouldn't mention this.....I mean he told me in confidence one morning, but.....Tom Brady has a really big (BIG :bigsmile: ) surprise for you if you hit your goal. I feel like such a heel for even mentioning it.
And if you don't, we'll (probably) still luv ya anyway. :smooched:
(pssssstttt...I'm gonna sic the entire running club on ya too!)0 -
I hope you've gotten it through your head what a wonderful, fabulous, breathtaking lady you are (lady in the broadest sense of the word, what with your pit and stash of lotion and beef jerky!!), BUT, you get my meaning!
Just know you are wonderful now and anything you want to do, you CAN do it and you have a huge support here to help you along on your journey.
We all love you so much girl!!0 -
wow, 40...honestly...?
sorry, i just don't believe that at all...stop lying to me...it's 2am here and i am quite tired, i will believe almost anything, but 40...nope, i wont fall for something that ridiculous.0 -
Ali,
You look great now, but if you put your mind to it you can get close to your goal by Oct. My goal for my 40th in March was to be at 200, I missed it by a few pounds, but still looked and felt better than I did in a looooooong time. I was not looking forward to my 40th either, but now I am embracing being 40 & I know you will too.
Keep going and just keep saying what I do, I may be 40 but I feel like I'm 20 again!!
Keep up the great work girl!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
You know you are hot now and you will be hotter when you are in your 40's...it is just a number, trust me!!!! I am there!!! With your beautiful personality, great smile, cutie pie self everyone WILL be saying "OMG, you are 40????? No way!! :noway: " Hugs!!!0
