    Hi. I'm 10 years older but would also like to develop a healthy approach to living. I just started my diet and walking routine last week. Would love to add you as a friend.

    I started losing weight and getting more fit when I was 38, was happier and much healthier when I hit the big 40. I have loved my 40s so far. I am definitely in better shape now than I was when I was 30. Fee free to add me.

    I started this journey within a couple of weeks of 39 and the fear of turning 40 was a big motivator, that was 4 years and about 60 pounds ago. Feel free to send a friend request!

    Turning 40 was part of my inspiration to start this journey a few months ago. Open to any friend requests. Mutual support is part of the benefit of this great site.

    At 40 I was disappointed with my figure and decided to do something about it. I'm now 41 and 7lbs away from my goal. Happy to provide support to anyone who needs it :)

    Wow! Great support on here. I turn 40 in December and am looking to go into that a healthier me. I started using this website and it has been hugely helpful. I also joined a challenge at a local gym which is helping. I just needed that boost to get going and that accountability piece. I am open to suggestions and look forward to being motivated on here:)

    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.

    Happy Birthday and good luck with those last few lbs :)

    Thanks everyone! It's good to know there are others out there who are in similar situations. I've got 352 days to finish the first leg of my journey. Looking forward to entering my 40s feeling fit and fabulous!
