Fit in your 40's (with Pics)

swebb1103 · October 2017

I don't know how to post pictures here, but last year at age 44 I ran my first 5k after a lifetime of inactivity. This weekend I am running my second half marathon and in April, I am running my first full marathon. I look better than I have at any other age (plus I have that 40+ female don't give a damn attitude!) Seriously, my 40s have been my best years.

I am 5'7" tall. During my adult life, my weight climbed to 235lbs. I finally lost 45 lbs in 2011 and have kept it off for 6 years. This past spring, I dropped another 12lbs to help me get leaner and faster in races. My current weight is 178lbs and I have a resting HR of 42 bpm.

This year, I completed a number of races including the Shamrock marathon, the Patriot Half Iron distance triathlon and the Ironman 70.3 Lake Placid race. Next year, I'm going to step it up a bit, since I'm registered for the full distance Ironman race in Lake Placid next July. This will be my first full Ironman distance race. I should also admit that I don't quite qualify as a fit 40 year old, since next month I will turn 60.

Not sure if this pic will work - it is my profile picture. The two pictures were taken almost exactly a year apart. The before picture is me with my husband on vacation. The after is me and my best friend/mentor/workout buddy after a 10k run. I didn't realize how heavy I was until I found the picture and realized the dates on them.....

You guys, I'm so glad I started this thread! You all look so amazing! It's great to see how vital, energetic, and (if I may say this in a way that isn't creepy) sexy you all look at 40+! I'm getting back on the wagon after an injury 18 months ago and my weight creeping back up. It really motivates me to see what one can accomplish! Thanks for sharing!

At present the only pics I can post are from my icon, but 40 is the new awesome. (I'm 43. HW 387, CW 147-152).

As someone who will be in this age group very soon (I can't write the number...or even say it...it's an issue), seeing these pics helps me realize that people over 39 can still be hot.
I mean, i knew this, but years ago, the idea was that you couldnt be hot in your 30's (and i wasnt, for the majority of them)

I do love your shoulders @quiksylver296. I mean I do love the whole of you, but I am a shoulder drooler, and your are wonderful.

Cheers, h.

Oh don't worry about it, being in your forties only lasts about ten years.

Im fixing to turn 42. These pictures are 1 year apart. I’ve lost 57 pounds during that time with walking, jogging and recently workouts at the gym. Still on a mission to slow down or even stop the clock on aging..Lol.

Btw I had eight kids with that body with oldest being 28 and youngest being 5 so plastic surgery did help me a little

Congrats on a great journey.

Wow great thread and so many amazing transformations! I think these progress, success, pages are one of the best areas to hang out in on the forum. So much great inspiration and motivation.

Just goes to show age doesn't matter!

I'm 45 years old. Started out on Feb 2nd 2018 at 274 lbs. Today I am 183 lbs. 91 lbs lost so far. I'm not quite where I want to be yet but I'm getting there.

The first photo was 4 years ago, at 37. The second was today, at 41...

I was with a group of 20-somethings. When we walked up the headland, I had time to post smug statuses to two different websites while I waited at the top for the second person to catch up

Discovering that I can be the fittest person in a group - and that’s a group that includes runners - has blown my mind completely.
