    I'm 41 and even though I have been on and off a diet and a workout routine of some sort my entire adult life. I really hit it hard a month after I turned 40. I am now in the best shape of my life and about to run my second 1/2 marathon on Saturday. Please feel free to add me....I like having people my age as My Fitness Pals! :-)

    I am! I'll be 39 this year. By the time I hit my big 4-0 on July 4th, 2013, I wanna be rocking some major muscles and a flat tummy!

    I just turned 41 but my weight loss journey began at 40. 40 is that magical number when your body decides to go south, forever. All the things that used to be easy or you never suffered from decide to come full force. For me it was HBP and BP medication that blurred my vision!!! What, not my perfect 20/20 vision. I have always prided myself on my vision, hearing and memory. All 3 decided to take an extended lunch break from me! With BP medication being out of the question, losing weight and excercising was the only choice I had left. Then one morning, while looking at my side view in the mirror to see if I "looked slimmer", I noticed my saggy butt had a little bump to it. The same bump that made my size 8/9 jeans in HS look really cute!!! Wooohoooo, sexy at 40 here I come:bigsmile:

    My ultimate goal for this entire process is to be in the best shape of my life by the time I am 40. I will be 38 this year. I want to be fit, active, and be able to tackle anything the next 40 years has in store for me. I spent my first 37 years just sitting on the sidelines watching life go by....no more! :happy:

    Not as tight a timeline, however with the amount of weight I have to lose, it may as well be. Ill be 40 in August of 2013. I have about 160 more to lose give or take. :) Feel free to friend me.

    me, that's me. I've been working at it since I was 32 with a couple kids in between, but I am still working at it HARD. I have less than six months before I hit 40.

    That had been my goal too, but I fell off the wagon over the summer and missed it (40th birthday was last November)! Never mind, at least I got back on track 6 weeks before my birthday, and am now targeting hitting my goal whilst in my 40th year (currently shooting for June)!!

    Good luck everyone!!! :smile:

    I'm in the middle of forty. Feels like I'm in my twenties. Actually I'm more fit now than when I was in my twenties.

    I'm 37, 2 kids, a dog and a supportive hubby and I have decided to eat healthy and be active. I want to look good in my forties and beyond. Add me if you like! So far since I have started MFP, my start weight is 200 lbs and as of today I'm 158.2. No more excuses!

    I'm about ten years too late for this discussion, but I've got a similar goal.

    I turn 50 in September, and am trying to get down to my target weight (or close to it) by then. I'm planning on visiting the 50th state for my birthday, and really want to be able to go to the beach and not be embarrassed to take my shirt off in public.
