Hey All! I'm 41 and have about 15 to get to "pre-baby" weight but want to lose 25. I am having a very hard time finding the time to exercise. I'm up at 5:00 to get to work on time and my day finally ends around 7:30. By this time I'm done with dinner, the baby and getting my husband off to work, I'm exhausted!!! How don't find the motivation when my body is telling me to finally sit down?!0

I'm 43 and would be happy with losing 30+lbs. If I lose more, then great, but 30 would be a great start. I really didn't want to put a number out there ~ I just know I want to feel better. I want to have more energy to keep up with my stressful full time job and three kids! Plus my dad just had a stroke, so I definitely want to be healthier! I'm just struggling with changing 30+ years of bad habits ~ working 30 hours a week during high school and not eating well, working my way through college and not eating (or drinking) well, working two jobs to pay off school loans and move out while not eating well, juggling full time employment (at a desk all day) and three children while not eating well, etc. It is a worthwhile struggle!0

I am 42 and after the birth of my first baby (yup birthed at 41) I have 30 pounds to lose. I was 9 pounds from my goal weight before I got pregnant and then ate whatever I wanted for the last year. I could use support and friends. I love my baby but never been this overweight. Finding that fatigue and a slow to recover birth are not great fitness partners.0

I am almost 44 with 20-25 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me!0

Dominique - You just have to make time for you. Ask your husband to help you out. I too get up at 5:00am with a 60 minute commute round trip. I do not have children to care for, but I do have 4 horses to feed, a dozen chickens, eggs to gather, 2 dogs to walk, a nutty cat.... and oh yeah... I have a darling husband and an aging mother to cook dinner for each night. We all have thing in our lives that could side track us.
Thankfully, my family is very supportive of me and they pitch in to allow me to make time to workout.
I will also tell you that my husband has always fixed his own lunches for work. As I have said before... I'm a pretty blunt cowgirl so I made it perfectly clear to my husband over 20 years ago that he's a grown a#% man and he could fix his own lunch. There is no getting my husband off to work in our relationship.
The only advice I can give you, is that you have to make the time, even if it is a 20 minute walk.
Like everyone on the thread, you are over 40 and although I can't speak for everyone here but I expect many would say the same thing. My body is telling me you have to get this weight off. Not later. Not next week. Not when I find the time. Now. I'm tired of my back hurting. My knee hurting, My shoulders hurting. I'm tired of lousy sleep. I'm tired of taking so long to heal from injury. I'm just sick and tired. I tell myself everyday, suck it up buttercup and everyday I feel better and better.
