in Introduce Yourself
So, I decided that I can't say that I am fat because I just had a baby...she's 13 now (smile). I'm actually a Mom of 4 teenagers and I work full-time and up until last year, was going to school part time. I turned 40 and decided that I needed to do something about my weight. I've been going to the gym since January and hae lost 20 pounds, so am very excited, to continue and to join this new group.

    40 is right around the corner for me...one month from today. I am already more fit now than I have been in about 5 years, but I want to be fit, not just fit for 40. This is a journey you will find many of us on and will gain so much support. Good luck and I hope you meet your goals.

    I have to admit to being over 40 now, since my 7yr old realized I am no longer 28 ;)
    Welcome, you will love it here! Feel free to friend me.

    I'm with all you fabulous girls... I'm 39 and am going to be fabulous before I'm 40!!!! In fact, I'm running my first half marathon this September, and if all goes as planned, another just after I turn 40 and then a 25k (15.5 miles) a couple weeks after that!!!!!

    I'm unstoppable... and 40 is going to be fabulous!!!!

    Here's to 40! I am tackling it in 12 days (I still don't believe I'm 20 :noway: )! I was hoping to be under 140 by 40, but I have about 7 more pounds to lose. It's going to happen by then, but it WILL happen sooner or later.

    Nikstergirl, my sister ran her first 1/2 marathon when she was 40...I'm still thinking about it. She is 46 and just ran her personal best!

    :drinker: Cheers to all of us :drinker:

    I started running last year when I turned 40 in March and ran my first half marthon that September. It was time to feel good about myself and do something that was for me. I was tired of feeling blah, and being single and feeling blah didn't help. Now I'm working on some big goals and don't care that I'm single anymore. I'm having a fun and getting fit. It's MY turn now! I have big plans this year, and I'm running all the way through them.
