    Hi, well done to you - I sent you a friend request, have just turned 40 and it has taken me a little longer to get my butt in to gear - but I have found having a goal to work towards has helped greatly - also setting smaller individual goals are good and i have photo's of me looking fat on the fridge to stop me eating too much and one that inspires me next to my bed when I wake up in the morning its the first thing I see.

    Good luck you can do it x

    Hi. I started losing weight a couple of months before my 40th. I was over 14 stone, on medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol and having anxiety issues, and struggling to keep up with my 7 year old son. He has autism and needs to be kept active, and we were talking about adopting another child. I joined Slimming World, aiming to lose 40lbs. I lost that in 5 months, and have lost more since, happily maintained and discovered I actually really enjoy exercise. I feel so much better at 42 than I did at 32 - best thing I ever did (and we are about to get that second child). I keep this picture to remind me of why I did it, and why the choices I make about food are still important.

    Good luck - you can do it!

    I'm just about to turn 37, so I have a few more years to go, but I share that sentiment.

    Brummig - You look great! :)

    When I turned 36 last year I said the same thing and have lost 80 lbs since. It hasn't been bad for me in terms of going back to my old ways. I still have treats (I work it into my calories) and I workout a lot (which I now enjoy), so I have made it into a lifestyle for myself and in the best shape of my life.

    I look at old pics and I have kept some of my big clothes to remind myself how far I've come and I keep telling myself I am NOT going back there.

    You can do this!!

    Hi! Fell free to add me as afriend... I am a 1974 baby ;)... My goal is to change my body ...mi children are now 6 and 4 and I want to be fit.... I have been devoted of study, of traveling, of working, of being a mom... But there is always this shadow of being overweighted... More after babies... So for me it is enough! It is time to take care of my body and to be a healthy sexy mom at 40!!! :)

    Feel free to add me, I turn 40 next April. I've about 30 lb to go. My figuring is if I can lose 10-15 between now and christmas I stand a chance of hitting goal. My goal is somewhat flexible. I want to be healthy and I think about 130lb will be healthy for my height. I may go further, but really I get my body fat measured regularly and I'd be more interested in these figures. For now they're still way off, so I'm just using the weight as a measure.

    I'm 46. On March 13, I weighed 183. This morning 147. I did the 24-day Challenge by Advocare and lost 14 pounds in 10 days - 16 pounds overall - and it kickstarted my new way of living. I love that product. It helped me. If anyone would like info on what I ate and i what I did, feel free to write me. This is coming from someone who sits at work all day long and likes pizza and ice cream!

    I have two kids one 5 years old one 21 months old, they keep me young.

    Time is of the essence. Health is a lifestyle. Happiness is a mind set!
