Turning 40 this spring! Need some MFPs for support

Options
I will be turning 40 this April and am really wanting to shed these extra pounds quickly and then keep them off! (Can read my blog if want more info on who I am and how I got to this place.) I am needing some friends on here that can relate to the age changes and help hold me accountable. I need friends who aren't afraid to kick me in the butt when they see I am not tracking my food and exercise. I don't need any more enablers or soft friends got plenty of those :smile: ! Looking forward to meeting you!

    You can friend me if you would like. I don't talk / text too much, but I will remind you to log in or exercise if I don't see any activity.

    Hi, I must admit I've never been on a fitness forum before. So here it goes. I need to lose at least 30 lbs. I'll be 40 next month and I must start taking time for me, invest in myself. I've tried losing weight before but lose my focus easily. I know what to do (reduce calories, exercise) but I just don't do it. I need a group of MFP friends to keep me accountable for my laziness.

    Happy 40th almost! I LOVED TURNING 40! It was a turning point in my life! I divorced and decided it was time for me! I am now 43 in a HEALTHY HAPPY LOVING ROCKING relationship (with a younger guy! He's got one more year til he's 40!!) I am finally happy with everything except my weight. I have about 40 lbs to lose and I am ready to finally tackle this! Its fun too because my sig other loves me the way I am but gives 100% support in whatever I want to do. So he joined the gym with me and he is also going to lose some! Please dont read all this wrong.. I am not some pollyanna or someone who i just too friggin upbeat and happy! LOL i have my days! But I spent too many years of my life miserable, unhappy and when I turned 40 I realized LIFE IS TOO SHORT and I deserve to get everything out of it i want!!

    So last saturday Matt and I started a c25K and Monday I joined MFP. I feel so much better this week! So much more energy and I feel as though my skin looks better! May be just in my head.. but oh well! Keeps me motivated!

    So all of you turning 40 soon! EMBRASE IT AND BE YOU ! BE THE YOU THAT YOU WANT TO BE! Corny I know! But it is an awesome way to live!

    Have a great day all!

    I turned 40 in October and reached my goal. I am focusing on improving my running and getting healthier by the day. I'm good with the exercise but being a healthy eater is a daily struggle. :) Add me if you like. 40 is great so far.

    I am 43, not sure when that happened! I am one daily and share my food diary to my friends I also exercise six days a week. I am a good motivator and I am always looking for others to keep me motivated.

    You can friend me for sure. I turned 40 in August and decided not to be overweight anymore! I started MFP about a month ago and just updated my profile.

    Feel free to add me if you like. Just getting back publicly on MFP. Am 44 and spent the last year working off 60 lbs that snuck right up on me as I headed into my 40's and hung around until I decided enough was enough. You can do it and I'd be glad to support.
