    You can do this guys. It's nearly 5 years since I had the same thought. I was 14 stone, 5 ft tall, on meds for high BP and cholesterol and generally feeling rubbish physically and emotionally. I decided to try and lose a bit of weight. I hadn't really acknowledged how much weight I'd gained ( I'd always been overweight) til hubby and were talking about 40 related things I could do and we jokingly said lose 40lbs. I immediately said if I lost that I'd be a stick, them if realized I would still be overweight, nearly obese! I lost that 40lbs, and since another 30. The woman who couldn't run 50 yards when late for schol pick up is doing a 10 k in a few weeks and aiming for 60mins.

    Good luck to you all.

    Turning 39 on Tuesday. My intention was to have a fancy dress party for my "not quite 40 yet" party and dress up as Conan. Not happening, but I am almost 6 months into my get fit and fab again journey and am sloooooowwwly getting there. So I think the party will have to happen maybe at 39.5!

    Happy to make more friends in the same age group! Seems like everyone on here is either younger or older!

    I turn 40 on Feb. 13th. Wow... 7 months and counting! I'd love to lose at least 40 lbs by then. Looking for some friends to help motivate me. Maybe do a Fitbit challenge or two. Anyone interested?
