    Yes! You can't change the date on your birth certificate but you can change how old you feel. And that's what matters.

    I am 48 and turn 50 a year in January. I am determined to be fit at fifty so have given myself plenty of time to lose weight. I need to lose 2 stone so i am aiming to lose 1lb a week so it shouldn't be hard to do if I do it slowly. Hope you can do it too.:happy:

    I turned 40 in Januray and the last 3 years I have gained 40lbs. I have asked my dr and he says it is age and slow metabolism. I refuse to believe that. I keep trying and I can't lose but I am not going to give up. I will not be this heavy at age 41. :cry:

    37 here...want to say I'm feeling 25 these days, but my twenties were a complete fat-addled mess. :|

    Let's just say I'm feeling awesome. :) almost 50 down, another 50 to go.

    You can do this!

    Yep...just about 50 so far. :)

    Suggestions and 'secrets' forthcoming...I think the biggest secret is that it really isn't all that hard. :)

    I'll be there with you in 10 short days! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    I started the year with a particular goal, but refined that goal when I had a health issue early in the year. But I'm very happy with where I'm at and where I'm continuing to head towards. No time like the present! :)

    Best of luck with your goals.

    Because I turned forty this year, I decided to get fabulous (AKA healthy) this year as well! Since starting in January, I have dropped 78 pounds. I would like to lose another 30 or so. Please feel free to add me. After all, fabulous is more fun with friends! :)

    Rolling up on 42....took the fitness seriously as I approached 40 myself. Didn't have a ton of weight to lose, but I lost it. I went from non-athlete non-exercising to training for my first full marathon (after I hit the big 4-2). So far, 40's have been awesome. :-)
