    I'm 40...getting ready to turn 41 in a couple months. I can definitely tell younger people that it's MUCH harder to lose weight at this age! The metabolism just isn't what it used to be!

    I get the same thing from my daughters friends. Even had one of my 19 yr old daughters ex-boyfriends ask me out. Now that was very awkward.

    Feel fee to add me I'm 41 going on 25.

    42 and feel great since I started to eat better and exercise again. I just graduated from nursing school and had not worked out for almost 4 years. Before nursing school I earned a black belt at age 37!!! Became a personal trainer then went to college. I believe you can do anything you set your mind to.
    I am currently earning a BSN then want to start a masters. Yes, I find it a bit more challenging to lose weight than when I was 30. When I was young I was quite chunky. I lost weight in high school but it has always been a battle. I never let it get out of hand so I catch if before its over ten lbs. almost back to my black belt weight. I don't do martial arts anymore but I am going to use 5k as a training goal. Good luck and never give up!

    I feel your pain! argh! It is sooooo much harder to get in shape now compared with even 5 or 6 years ago. I've been working out majorly since the beginning of 2012, and have managed to so far lose 13 pounds (in a YEAR!!!!! - WTF????). If I had worked out like this in my early 30s even, I would have been in top shape by now.

    My face & personality look younger than my age. I cannot believe in one year I'll be 40! I always thought 40 was so old...but I'm feeling like my life is truly just beginning. I'm just starting to do the things I love, so I definitely want to be in good shape and good health for the next however many years.

    I completely overhauled my diet this year. I upped my strength training and am now working out 7 hours per week, minimum. I'm quitting eating out as well. I totally quit for 3 weeks, then tried to eat out a couple times, and my tummy bloated out like I was six months' pregnant. So....yeah....no more eating out for me!

    Anyone can add me. I could use more friends my age!

    I'm 41 & most days feel like I'm still in my 20's. It's definately harder to lose & stay in shape these past few years but I feel like this is my year! Anyone can feel free to add me. I'd love some motivation & support from people my age.

    I'm 38, almost 39, and I feel like I am 25 lol. Of course, my body reminds me at times that I am indeed almost 40, but until it does that, I am always living young!

    This is my last year as in my 30's as I hit the big 40 in 2014 and want to be slim and healthy by then. Have definitely noticed it getting harder over the last few years. Would appreciate any friend adds to help motivate me.

    43 and I'm just getting started! I love how confident I've become. I no longer care what people think of me. Love me or leave me alone attitude and I love that I don't have the "fit in" pressure I had when I was in my 20's.

    I will turn 40 in September - everyone should feel free to add me! I lost about 45 or 50 pounds right before I turned 30 but, sadly, over 8 years or so, gained it all back plus 30 more pounds (sigh). So now I'm doing it again right before I turn 40. It's a very different experience in some ways - taking longer, etc. But I feel really good again and I'm happy to be feeling more fit and strong once again.
