So here I am, 45 years old. They say the 40's are the new 30's but the way I feel lately is more like 70's. I wake up in the morning, my back hurts, my knees hurt & my ankles hurt. No more! Time to take charge of my life again and start acting as young as I feel on the inside!
So glad I found this site! Looks like its the perfect tool for keeping on track & reaching my goals!
Good luck to you all...

    Ugh, I know exactly how you feel. It annoys me that my body is defying me at the tender young age of 44. However, I continue to push on and this site is a great place to stay accountable and motivated. Good luck to you.

    Oh my! That is EXACTLY why I'm here too!
    I'm 44, and it struck me a few months ago that I felt like I was 80. I was tired of being tired, and hurting, and unmotivated.....

    Just 13lbs later, and with a new exercise program in place, I feel like I'm 40 again...and working towards feeling BETTER than I did when I was 30 :)

    (If you're interested, the Couch-2-5K is a FANTASTIC program to follow!) :)

    I will be 49 later this month and my goal a year ago was to be fitter by 50 than I was at 30. A year to go and I'm already there!

    I'm 47 and feel wonderful since I've started my journey to a healthier me. Best wishes for your journey and remember, it is a journey not a sprint. Plan ahead. Plan everything. When you will exercise, what you'll eat, plan, plan, plan.

    Your title sounds like the goal I have set for myself. I am on a life changing journey too. Good luck to you.

    Physically, I feel fine. It makes me happy to see that I can follow the 30 year olds at the gym in Circuit training. At 44, I feel better than I did two years ago. My main goal is to tone up what gravity wants to pull down, what energy pre-menopause and low thyroid is trying to take away from me! lol

    You can do this! The biggest step is doing something about it.
