    I will turn 40 in February and turning 39 was a real wake up call. I quit smoking first and then started eating right and exercising in Sept. I have lost 14 pounds so far this year with 20-25 to go by my birthday I hope! We got this!

    I'll be 40 in 10 days. (gulp) I work from home, (working now, shame on me) Have a 4 y/o son at home, Have 3 grown kids, & 3 grandkids. I'm On my second marriage. (saved the best for last lol) I still have over 70 lbs to lose, but can honestly say I'm healthier than I was in my 30's. I feel like I don't belong in most categories. Most friends my age, have kids already grown/mostly grown, but no grandkids. So my friends with Grandkids are usually way older, and my friends with Preschoolers are way younger

    I may be 'too old' 48.... going on 49 but feel 40? I have two kids that are 5 and 7 and I work and have a business. I feel more people 'my age' are grandparents vs parents... so I keep up with younger friends.
    Well I'm both LOLOL. But I KNOW what you mean! I don't fit ANYWHERE

    Almost 39 and a working mom of 3 girls (1, 7 and 11). I just recently took a break from a full-time college education as well because I thought I had a little too much on my plate (well... okay... a lot too much on my plate!!!). I was on my way to getting back in good shape after joining WW earlier this year but I've let everything slip and now I'm trying to get back on the wagon. Feel free to add me :smiley:

    Is anyone doing strength training? I just gained back the weight I lost while pregnant, and am now focused on fixing the *soft* and getting back my stamina and strength. Two babies in two years, I'm weak and I hate it! I'm struggling to get my cals and macros right so I don't backslide and lose more...

    I do crossfit 3 times a week, boot camp once a week and on the 5th day I work out with a couple of girls from the gym, doing circuit training, kind of like our own little boot camp. In March of this year my bodyfat was at 31% and I had it last checked a month ago it is at 22%. I would suggest google crossfit and see if there is one in your area. I will be 42 in a couple of months and I am in the best shape I have every been in. I haven't reached my goal yet but I am very close to it. I also work with the nutritionist at the gym.

    39 & pear-shaped here, with a 5th grader and toddler. I'm trying to get fit, for my health... and also so I can feel pretty at my hubby's holiday party and of course look fantastic for my 40th in July! I'm down 48 and would like to lose another 50 or more.

    I'm doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution for the 2nd time. It's addicting. It's 4 high intensity circuit training routines and 2 cardio days per week for 3 months. Every two weeks the workouts change so you don't get bored. I've gained more strength from this program than anything I've ever done. Highly recommend. You could sub lower intensity cardio (or not do any) on the 2 cardio days if you are worried about losing weight.

    I did the same thing! Quit smoking now looking to lose a ton of weight. Good luck and great job on quitting.

    38. Trying to finally get serious about losing 10 lbs. And had a long talk with a fitness expert all about this critical moment right before 40. So this subject line caught my eye! Feel free to add me!
