Ok, I see all the threads for hott guys and girls in their 20's or for people in their 30's, what about those of us in our 40's? I for one am 41 but do not feel or act like it! Most people have a hard time believing I'm in my 40's with a son that is 15! I am here to lose weight, get healthy and am always looking for motivation and inspiration and would love to see some more mfp members in there 40's!!

    Just turned 45 in June. Losing weight is hard work but worth the effort, I just wish the weight would come off like it did when I was 25....much easier.
    :happy:

    I'm 44 and will be 45 in November! I'm in the best shape of my life and can out work my 17 year old son in any P90X workout!! And he's a distance runner!! Love that I'm not alone out there.

    @tina....thanks and you do not look like your anywhere close to turning 40!
    @dfiumano you look great for 43!
    @jakern I am right there with you! In my 20's I could drop a dress size in less than a week! It's such a struggle in my 40's, but so worth it!!

    I don't know what 40's are supposed to look like. I am 44 and want to feel better and have more energy so cleaning up my diet and exercising. It seems like diet and exercise are the first line of defense against most medical problems.

    I know what you mean! I am 47 and people are shocked when they find out. When I have my grandsons out people look shocked when they call me Nana :happy:

    My goal is to be a healthier and fit before I turn 48.

    That is my goal by the time I turn 43! I've got 23 months to get there!!

    Hi stpetegirl!
    I am 45, will be 46 in August. It is nice to talk with 40 something people! It is harder to lose now. Like you I don't act my age! My kids are always reminding me of that!

    I'm 40 and people always express shock over that fact. They always think I'm younger. So far, my 40s have been fabulous!!

    Haha! Thats awesome! I figure if I don't get this under control now, once I am in my 50's I'll really regret it!

    Feel like I'm 20, look like I'm 60, but really 43 here...and finally moving on to the things I should have done as a kid, like that mud run at the Rose Bowl in Oct! Thanks to MFP, I'm getting more fit than I've been in many, many years

    43 here. Been working on getting down into the 170's after having been up as high as 220. Sitting at 185 right now and feeling so much better than I did last November. And just starting week 3 of P90X.

    I am hoping to start the p90x next month once I get a little more weight off so I can avoid an injury! Just 11lbs down and I already feel so much better!! It's amazing what eating healthy can do!
