I recently turned 39 and would like to enter my 40s with a healthy body and mind. I've been up and down the scale over the past 20 years and want to establish a long-term pattern of eating right and exercising regularly...and would like to drop 20+ lbs in the process. I''m looking for friends in similar situations to share info, experiences and support.

Hi,
I am 39 years old and 4 weeks ago I have decided to change my life. I had 128 kg (282 pounds). I started going to gym 5 times per week, and I stopped eating sweets and carbs in the afternoon. I started logging my food and exercises with myfitnesspal because this is the only way for me to have control of my food limits.
4 weeks passed and I am 9 kg (20 pounds) lighter. My goal is to drop to 90 kg (200 pounds). So long way to go. I will be happy to support you and I would like if someone supports me.0 -
Wow, 20 lbs in 4 weeks is amazing...you're obviously on the right track. Congrats!0

I am an experienced with the 40's, as I am now 48. I am looking to enter my fifties feeling better than I ever did in my 40's. I have lost 22 pounds and have about 25 left to go. I wish you much success in your journey!!! Feel free to add me if you like. :flowerforyou:0

Hi there!
I am turning 40 in November...I am about half way to my goal. I am always looking for friends who are active on here. Sending friend request. Anyone else who is looking for active members for support/motivation, please feel free to add me.0 -

40 is the new 20
feel free to add0 -
I am 45, and I actually found the 40´s to be a bit easier than the 30s. My body and metabolism changed a lot around 29-33, which took a lot of getting used to, like no longer just being able to eat whatever I wanted. I went up as high as 250lbs, but am now back to around 210-220, which is still a bit heavy for my height.
So the good news is, starting your 40s, your body isn´t going to change as much as it did when you hit your 30s..
Also, to you and everyone else, feel free to add me. I am new here!0 -
I'm a bit a head of you. I did start this around 45 but now I'm squeaking closer to 50 and feel the same way. Want to keep doing better and better!
feel free to friend me.

I turn 39 next month and made the 40 promise to myself as well lol. I'm pretty active Logging, Liking, and Commenting...Feel free to add me0

Will be 42 this year. Trying to lose that last stubborn 20 lbs. Feel free to add me.0

Me too. Turning 40 tomorrow and 21.5 pounds to go to get to goal. I was never more than 40 pounds from goal even when pregnant for 3 kids so I sometimes have trouble being motivated, because I am 'not that bad' compared to others...
But that was not helpful thinking, comparing myself to others. I want to get healthy for me, the kids, husband and the long haul.0 -
Staring at forty as well..... Did not think we would live this long.0

40's are going to be great for you! All are welcome to friend me0

Over 40, down over 100lbs. Here for the long haul. Feel free to add me, if you think you'll do this and be active. Love to see us get there!0
