I just finally realized life is to short and if I dont do this now I will never do it. . Now I eat to live.. not live to eat... I realize I have a purpose and its to be around a long time to bug my friends and family...lol

I have my 40th birthday coming up in NOV and I know I will get no where close to where I want to be by then ... BUT I think 35 pounds is reasonable.. I want to go out and get a beautiful dress and look alll sexxxxxxy..... to look in the mirror and go MEOW you look hooott...lol THIS can BE done........ Right?? reasonable goal?? I have a lot more to lose in time...

I just want to have a wonderful birthday and really celebrate being alive :)

Anyone looking at the same goal around the same time frame? motivation .. motivation :)

    You can definately do that with hard work and determination. I just had my 40th in March, so far so good, loving my 40s. Good Luck!

    Me Too! I just had my 39th birthday and I've been dreading 40 for over a year already. I figured if I started early enough, I could be fab enough by 40 that it doesn't seem so much like a 'sentence' as a 'renewal'. Hopefully looking and feeling better than I have in 15 years will make 40 seem like not such a scary hurdle to jump.

    Good Luck!

    Has anyone else noticed that there seem to be a LOT of gals in their late 40's on here or is it just that I notice cuz we're the same age? I think we're all in the same boat - the one that brainwashes us to think that 40 is scary! I guess if that's true, we've all been scared into kicking 40's *kitten* with our fabulousness!

    Love it!! :bigsmile:

    I have a similar goal: I want to kick off my 40s next year with a bang!! I have seen so many incredible transformations and read so many inspiring stories that I've decided: me too!!! I didn't think it could be done, but with the help of all the available information and support on mfp, I have turned back the clock on my figure: I look almost the same as before I had my five children!
    If I can do it, so can you!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:
