    Feel free to add me anyone! I am 47, work full time as a nurse and I am in grad school also! I have been working out pretty regularly, but I just now downloaded a C25K app and I am determined to start running!. My body is willing....my brain is still stuck in the "you are too fat to run" mentality....hopefully my body will win!

    I'm in my 40s with about 15-20 to lose. A mommy and absolutely NOT a runner! I don't think I'd run if I were being chased by a crazy person w/a knife!! =)

    I'm also 46, a busy wife and mom, so I only post sporadically. My fitness pal has become part of my daily life and I hope it can become something you do JUST FOR YOU!! Don't make it something you squeeze into a busy day. Best wishes on your life changing journey.

    Hi - I started this month as well. I am 40 and a mom of 3. Really hoping it would go faster, but progress is progress. Super busy so not a frequent poster :) I don't expect much, either. My workouts are totally varied - Jillian M. 30 day shred, Slim in 6, jogging, walking, tennis, ski, horseback... my goal is just to be active every day. I also just started using a Bodymedia Fit. GL! Feel free to add me :)

    Thanks, everybody! I look forward to responding to my box of friend requests. I have an online class tonight through my health plan about healthy eating and exercising, and pretty much just got home. Oh, and I'll check out that 40s group, too, later this week. Thanks for the tip. I'm really glad I heard about this site! It keeps me accountable, and it's a great opportunity to validate other busy people trying to beat stress and keep healthy. So, a big cheer, for all!:happy:
