40!!! omg....I need help!!!

I was being sooo lacadaisical about my loss after I reached the 20 lbs mark...I have 33 left to go to be to my goal...and while I know I won't hit that by October 6th...or D DAY lol....I would love to at least get close.....

I think 20 lbs by then (2 mths) is reasonable...maybe 15 is better LOL....sigh...I think it just hit me yesterday that my 4-0 was approaching....I want to be in better shape by then I really do!

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 :heart:

okay thanks my sweet family!!! love you guys!:flowerforyou:
hugs!
Ali.....ps...why does it feel like I'm only 21 in my mind??? :laugh: :ohwell:

    I'd go ali! Course I'm only like 35 miles away...:tongue:

    Maybe I'll bike there. Through roxbury, that'll keep me riding hard!
  • 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!!!

    :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    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! :tongue: :tongue:

    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!!

Get yourself a new outift and work it girl!!! I never would have guessed 40 for you, except by your wisdom. Have a great one!

    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

    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 :heart:

    okay thanks my sweet family!!! love you guys!:flowerforyou:

    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!! :heart: :heart: :love: :love: :love:

    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:
