    I don't feel so alone now at all. Let's make our 40's great!

    Here is a question :

    Name one thing you want to do in your 40s (or I see one 50) that you were not fit enough to do in your 30s....


    I've got 2.5 years until the big 4.0. and that it is a goal of mine to be Foxy, fabulous, whatever you wanna call it at 40.

    Something I'd like to do in my 40s...finish a 5K in under 27 minutes!

    I'll be 41 on my next birthday, but it was turning 39 that got me going on getting fit. I still have a ways to go, but I feel much better at 40 than I have in years.

    I'm turning 39 four months from today and I'd love to double what I've lost so far. There's no way I'll be at my ideal weight by the big 4-0, but getting over halfway there would be a great accomplishment!

    How about fit and FIFTY!!

    I had a baby at 43, now I am 46 rapidly approaching the big 5 Ohhhhhh, and I am in as good of shape if not better than I was in high school.

    I do not weigh what I want, but physically and athletically I am prime!!

    Age is only a number not an excuse :)

    I turned 40 in December. And at my party I had a shirt made that said 40 & Fabulous!!!! I didnt reach my total fit goal before I hit 40 but I havent given up. Just trying to do this one day at a time. Feel free to add me as a friend, we can motivate and support one another on this journey.

    I too am looking to be fit by 40, I think we are close to the same time frame. I'll be 39 in October, so I am thinking I will accomplish this goal. Mainly because I hear it gets so much harder to lose after 40...

    I've got 10 years, but I would love to be fit and healthy by the time I hit 40.

    There is something about not being fat at forty.

    Oops too late for me :laugh:
    41 here, but better late than never! :embarassed:

    But seriously, OP - did you mean in terms of society and not being fat at forty or did you mean biologically/scientifically?

    I'll be 39 this June, 40 next year and definitely hoping to be at goal and maintaining by then. I've made a good start, but still a long way to go, just about to start C25K, and hopefully start swimming again, now that I can possibly get in the pool without starting a tidal wave! :laugh:

    Good luck to you all :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to be 40 in 3 days and I have just made a renewed vow to get fit and start using MFP again. I most certainly won't be fit by the time I get to 40, but I sure as hell know I will be fit for the next 40 years to come!
