    You're not a collection of numbers, my dear. I didn't start losing until after I had both of my children. I'm 41 now, and I'm near the end of my weight loss journey -- it's gotten harder, but you just have to get tougher to compensate.

    I personally LOVE being in my 40s. Less fretting over what others think, more freedom to follow my own dreams.

    Just go for it!

    Welcome Kelly... this is a great site. You will love it here. People are so supportive. I'm 59, and in a race to get healthy before my 50th birthday. Let's be friends and encourage each other along the way.

    Question: How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

    I am over forty, need to lose over 100 pounds but my journey is not about those numbers as much as I feel like an 80 year old. I can't walk stairs, I can's walk around the park with my kids, I can't sleep well or enjoy myself at a party without comparing myself to others.

    I have decided to live today, asking if I feel better than yesterday and doing the things that will allow me to feel younger tomorrow.

    Welcome, let's travel this road to recovering the feeling of youth while being comfortable in my body and age.
