40 is oh so close!

Hello! Im going to be 40 in September and could use new friends to help along this path. I find I make so many excuses for not staying on track, it would be nice to see what others do to stay positive!

    I am 42. After I had my children I put on 20 pounds. I am trying to get back to before children weight. I have 9 pounds to go. Just remember we all slip up and keep you goals in the front of your mind. I have lost a total of 26 pounds. I started before I learned about MFP. Each pound is one step closer. I do little things like parking farther from the door so I have to walk or taking the long route to the bathroom at work. I also have a pedometer and keep track each day. If I had a bad one, I try to make up the next day. Good luck!!!

    I hear you - 40 is right around the corner for me too (in October). Yikes. I wish I could say it kept me motivated every day, but it doesn't.
