in Introduce Yourself
I will be 40 in January (nine months minus 3 days to be exact... and yes, I'm counting) I am determined to get FIT before I hit 40. I will say, for me personally, every year that passes seems to make it just a little bit harder.... not impossible, just a wee bit more difficult. I have 20 more pounds to lose to be at my goal and I would be thrilled if I can get there before I get to the big 4-0! ;)

This has been a tough year for me... my "baby" started kindergarten so I have been struggling with this new phase of life having no little ones at home... my dad also passed away about 6 weeks ago which really has made me reevaluate what is important in life. Having said that, I am more committed than ever to truly LIVE and be healthy!

If any one wants/needs friends please feel free to add me! I am very active on the site (login almost every day) Nothing against the 18 year olds and 20 somethings on this site, but I just feel like I have more in common with people near the same age and would love to have more friends AND especially support/encouragement!


Send me a friend request and... Let's do this!!!

    Already in my 40's and commend you for aiming to get fit beforehand! You can do this! I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and saying a prayer for your family.

    I turned 43 just more than a week ago. My body was much more forgiving of my lapses when I was younger. It was a lot easier to get back into shape after I'd slacked off.

    Keep pushing. It's worth it.

    Cheers,
    Daryle

    I think early 40's means 45 haha....anyway, I've been on this site for a while as well. I joined a year or so ago after looking for an app for my sister-in-law. I'm a big proponent of running....been doing it for a while...still do 3-4 half-marathons a year. I'm currently training for the Buffalo Half and my target time is 1:40. You can definitely do anything you put your mind to just keep at it!
