Friends over 40?
Replies

Hi, I'm 40. Need a lot of motivation. Seems like when I get going, I make that initial water weight loss, then....nothing. After that, I get discouraged and fall off the wagon.
I'm starting over as my son is back in school and I've got some time during the day to work out.
Ready to hit it hard....again...for the 100th or so time...
I'd like to be on here daily to keep myself honest. Anyone and everyone is welcome to add me and nag me along!0 -
"Just turned 49--yikes! Used to be really fit, until two years ago when I changed careers, then it was less time in the gym and more time on my butt. But, we're never too old to pursue fitness, so here I am. Looking for all the support I can get from the over 40 crowd. "
OMG! I CAN TOTALLY RELATE!!0 -
Hi All.. I'll be blowing out 41 candles next month! I am also new here to these message boards. At home I'm among people who are constantly sabotaging my weight loss attempts. They don't do it on purpose, or maliciously. They just "forget" and well.. they just aren't too supportive in this weight loss journey I'm on. So, I'm looking to friend anyone who can be supportive, and give advice. I am willing to do the same. Add me.0

I'm 41 and finally have the schedule to accommodate working out. I am doing much better with that than the eating. I am currently in the final weeks of the Couch25K program. My goal is to run a 5K in October. Looking for fun people to share the ups and downs of the battle of the bulge. I have a little one and an awesome husband! I would love to see them at the finish line! Also, I want to set a great example for my little girl!0

I'm 45 but 35 in my head. I have two more days of Couch 2 5k and I love to do YouTube hip hop and Bollywood style Zumba but don't know if my knees are going to let me keep that up much longer0

I'm 49, and cant believe the self-loathing I see in this thread. Age has nothing to do with anything. It isn't harder, it's the exact same. The math is the exact same as it was before. Please do not friend me. I'll stick with friends from all ages that don't fall back on excuses and just work hard everyday. Cheers.
Actually, it seems as though there are many contributors to the thread who simply want to reach out to one another and not necessarily "self loathing". Some people feel more comfortable associating with others who are at a particular stage in their lives and there are huge differences in the lifestyles of 20 year olds versus 40 year olds. There are physiological and psychological differences and anyone who does not agree with attempting to identify with like minded people can just go on to another forum.
No need to lash out unnecessarily dude! Maybe it is time that you do your own little inventory about what you want to get out of this site and follow that path, but don't tag along on perfectly good thread biting at other people's heels!0
