    I'll be that dreaded 40 on new years day 2014! this year in November I will also become a grandma (I still think I'm way to young) I want to be that fab 40 yr old grandma! so hoping to get to my goal before all that.
    I have 6 children altogeather 4 birth children 20, 15, 7, 3 and 2 step-children 20 and 16, I am disabled so can't exercise as I would like so this is being done by diet alone, 20 pound down it's all going the right way :)

    I'm 43, not in the best shape of my life, but the best shape since I was a college athlete. After shoulder and then knee surgery in my late 30s (old injuries finally catching up with my body) I decieded it was time to get serious with the wieghts again. For me, my wife, who is a great looking 41 year old and for ,my kids. Weight is just a number and I have never gotten over 200#s but it was a very soft 200 pounds at 5'10". A few years later I still travel 175 plus days a year but have used this site and gym time when I am home to get to 180 pounds, and with a harder body, much better health could not be happier.

    Hi everyone, I'm 44 and mother to 2 teens - 17 and 18, and some days I'm sadly lacking in motivation!!! Happy to have lots of friends to keep me on the right track :smile:

    Honestly, I prefer my current age to any I've ever been! I am in love with everything. I wish I'd felt like this all my life and hope to for the rest of it! :heart:

    Let me tell you this woman is rocking it in her 40s. Definitely someone defying the numbers and looking 20-something!

    This sounds like the group for me. At 42, I am loving life and looking forward to getting into shape to feel my best. I just signed up today! I hope this tool will help me monitor my progress and connect with others like me who aspire to be healthier.

    I'm 48 and determined to get fit by 50 and beyond. I'd love more like minded friends. At the moment I'm doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and C25K in preparation for two 5K runs this fall.

    40 here. Most days I still feel like I am 26 - inside. Outside I feel 50! But, that is changing. :-)

    Isn't the Forties the new twenties?

    Pretty active on here and feel free to add.

    I concur!!! I feel better now than I did in my twenties!

    I totally agree with this comment, too. After a year of using this site, I am essentially maintaining now and would love to have more MFP friends in their 40s. Best of luck to everyone.

    tagging for later. i'm on the fence--i am 41 (to be 42 in sept) but have been having a rough year in terms of body changes and lifestyle changes. this is the heaviest i've been (not counting when i was pregnant). i had reached goal last spring, but like i said...this fall/winter things changed.

    anyway, liked seeing all the positive posts.

    I am 44 and the past year has been an amazing awakening for me in terms of fueling my body with healthy food (most of the time! :tongue: ) and starting running which I never thought I could do. Feel free to add me, always open for more support and friendship on this journey! :love: :love:
