Hi all!! New to MFP. But I'm sure, like most of you, I'm not new to losing weight. I've done it many, many times. This time is a total lifestyle change. So far, so good. I've always had a knack for helping others, even when I couldn't (wouldn't!!) help myself. Feel free to add me.

Hi! I'm 41 and I realize that if I don't get this weight off soon I could very well be stuck with it for the rest of my life and I don't want that. I used to be in really good shape, but having an abusive husband, I turned to wine and food for comfort! Ugh! So, I am past 40 and pushing myself to change too!0

I totally understand! I had a similar experience with my ex-husband. I'm now newly re-married, have two fantastic sons, and life should be great....except I feel like total crap!! haha. I've just had enough. It look me a LONG time to get here. I'm one of those people who has to be completely committed to something to make it work. And for the first time, I can truly say that I'm committed to ME. It feels great.0

I'm knocking on 40's door myself... Next May I will turn 40 and I don't want to take this extra 30 pounds with me... We can do this!!! Add me if you like!0

I'll be 40 in April!! And I'm determined to be as fabulous on the outside as I am on the inside! We CAN and WILL do this! 0

40 was one of the best years of my life because I lived it healthy, fit and strong.
Life just feels better when you're better equipped to live it to its fullest
Best of luck to you.

Hi I have been using MFP for over 30 days and lost 15 pounds. I did have a camping week end and gained 3 pounds but I,m back on track and have lost two since then. Yea!0

I'm turning 40 on Saturday. I decided a few months it was probably now or never - I'm looking forward to seeing how my fitness and health improves in the first year of my 40s (and beyond!).
Very best of luck to you! 0 -

That's fantastic! We're all going to have "cheat" moments, days, weekends! It's part of the process.

I keep telling everyone that I'm 6 months from the 1st anniversary of my 39th birthday! 0 -
After 40 it's not all downhill I started getting serious about losing weight and getting healthy when I was 40 (almost 41). I'm 43 now and down 80 lbs. When I started I couldn't run to the end of my driveway. Now I'm training for my 2nd half marathon. I still have about 10 to 15 lbs to lose and they are being very very stubborn but I know that I will eventually get there. And so what if I never get to that "magic" number. I'm healthier than I've ever been and loving life.
With dedication, hardwork and a little self-forgiveness it really can be done. Everyone on here has already made the 1st step. MFP is a great too and there are some really motivating people on here. I wish everyone the best of luck and I know that all y'all will be successful in achieving your goals!!!
Feel free to add me. Somedays I really need the motivation and accountability that my MFP friends can give!0 -
I am 42 and can tell you that after turning 40, I couldn't just eat what I wanted any longer without extra excercise! Our bodies do change so its awesome that you are committed and ready to get in shape !
Good Luck to you and feel free to add me as a friend. I log in daily

Just turned 41 and trying to get healthy. It's a long and bumpy road with a lot of detours, but overall I'm heading in the right direction. :happy:0

I'm past 40 and knocking on 50's door, and I, like the rest of you have tried to lose weight in the past! Sometimes successfully and sometimes not, but now I'm on the right track and pushing forward!
If you like, you can add me!
Best of luck to you and everyone else!0 -
I started on here just before my 39th and have lost all (and a bit more) weight than I wanted to, have actual muscles in my arms (!) and my current goal is to sort my butt and thighs in the next 6 months (before the birthday of which I dare not speak in April ...) - and then keep up this level of health and fitness well into my 50s and beyond! I've never felt better about my body than I do now Good luck to you ! 0

I turn 40 in March. I have mostly positive feelings -- I have a happy family and my health is improving daily! I'm getting to be in better shape than I was at 30 so who cares about age.0
