    I fit this category, although I've been told I have the maturity of a much younger man :wink:

    Just turned 40 here *eep*

    Still mentally freaked out by that, since mentally I'm stuck on about 25.....and coming to terms with a couple of facts:
    1) A 40 yr old me doesn't lose weight like the 25 year old me did
    2) A 40 year old me with a 1 hr commute each way, just doesn't have the 2+ hrs a day to spend at a gym like the 25 yr old me did
    3) A 40 year old me can't eat the same way I did at 25.....(meaning pretty much the exact sames foods daily for every meal, the husband would rebel at unseasoned skinless boneless chicken, steamed veg, and a couple of baby reds for dinner every night of the week).


    feel free to add :) Always looking for additional motivators, and motivatees.

    I'm 42 with the sense of humour of a 10 year old, does that count?

    Me five months into my 40s: http://youtu.be/hnaZQpeVaYY

    I've also been known to do this sort of thing recently:

    So I feel pretty youthful generally.

    I say "generally" because today was heavy compound day so right now I'm walking around like a 110 year old. :bigsmile:

    Edit: I really ought to get a video of me doing front levers and campus board stuff.

    Recently someone thought I was my son's girlfriend. He's 19, I'm 42. When I meet new people they are always shocked to hear that I have three sons (13, 15, and 19). I workout every day, and am coming up on my one year anniversary on MFP. Feel free to friend me.

    Lol, will be 43 day after tomorrow. I try to behave mature though - well, just beat my 11 year old kid in climbing a tree to get at a geocache, that must truly be a proof of maturity ;) Feel free to add me!

    I'm 45, not sure what that should look or feel like, but I'm totally enjoying it!

    Ok not enjoying that losing weight is harder than in my 30's, but hey gotta enjoy this thing called life right. Feel free to add me, we can encourage each other to stay fab in our 40's!

    39 is looming, but I totally forget my age! I don't feel it, look it or act it! I am good Canadian mom looking for a few more MFP buds for motivation!
