in Introduce Yourself
Hi there everyone,

I told myself that I wasn't going to be fat when I reach 40 cuz I wanted to be 40 and fabulous. Well 40 came around and I'm still over weight. If I use the BMI chart I am considered obese which blew me away. I use to be a fitness addict and now here I am living a life on the couch. I don't get out much. I feel like I'm killing myself slowly. I am aging faster than ever or it just feels like it. I'm so angry with myself that I have let this get this far. IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! That is why I am here joining myfitnesspal. I am looking for inspiration and motivation and other ideas on how I can get my life back on track. I look forward to reading your success, your struggles, recipes and exercises and tricks if you have any. Looking for friends of encouragement.

    Welcome, and good luck. Ive been here for 2 weeks, going strong. I'm actually getting a bit obsessed with hanging on here reading peoples stories, but I guess thats better then sitting and snacking on the couch! I sent you a friend request.

    OMGOSH! That was so me! I say was because when I hit 40 I still didn't care. Now I'm 43 and finally doing something. I'm pretty addicted to this site. You can add me and encourage each other. Oh and I have an open diary but it's kind of boring. Hahaha :-)
    Actually anyone can add me.

    Similar. I turned 40 last month and thought by now I would have it all together. No milestone has been enough to change me, except for my daughter's graduation in 2012. Then we moved and as soon as my life gets a little unstable, food is the go-to.

    39 here and my turning 40 next March is looming large so my mantra is to be fit at 40. Considering I have more than 100lbs to drop I won't be at the finish line by then but I can damn well be closing in on it! :) I'm about 17 lbs into my journey to take care of me. You are not alone!

    I'm looking to add friends too so send a request!

    I'll send you a friend request - I turn 40 in June and it's one of the main reasons that I am on here - I really don't want to be unhappy with the way I feel at 40 - fat and forty is not what I am looking for! Got around 50 lbs to lose for my first goal - will see how I feel after that! Good luck!
