    Hi ladies, I just turned 40 in December. I went out with a couple of friends and saw the picture (profile pic) and decided I needed to make a change. I'm tired of being tired all the time. :)

    I am on day 2 of the Supreme 90 day video series that I bought almost 2 years ago and it has collected dust ever since I got it in the mail. So far, I feel better and do have more energy.

    Feel free to add me as a friend, we are all in this together and if we can encourage each other, we all succeed!!!!

    Nice to read all about the fabulous ladies in this topic!

    I'm following the glycemic index diet. It is all about healthy eating. I am counting calories and eating foods low in the glycemic index. I have already collected a few recipes like diet ice cream, apple pie and salads. So anytime you need help with ideas for food I am learning to cook healthy, interesting food. My daughter is 17 and she seems to enjoy the food I'm cooking.

    I had to reply because our names are so similar- not too often I see "Connie" spelled like ours. Joined today, will be 48 this year. Seems like to more I run on the treadmill, the more weight my HUSBAND loses. Hope this works.

    I'm 44. I feel great when I'm working out. I've been using Turbo Jam & love it. I get a good calorie burn. I've been working on building muscle. I could use all the calorie burn I can get!

    Feel free to add me. I need more, active friends.

    I credit it to MFP the way it tracks my food & exercise and the wonderful women also over 40 who have been a great support system.. Welcome and feel free to add me as a friend

    Just turned 48. Age is just a number! Yes, the bigger the number is the harder it seems to lose weight. Stick to this site, it will motivate you! Keep track of what you are eating, working out, etc. Be reasonable! My first week I went nuts and injured myself, so the diet recommendations are more important than ever. Have fun, ask questions and be accountable. You can do this. Just look at each new day. Look back,only to learn what you might want to do differently.

    Welcome! I just turned 42 and kick myself for wasting so much time at this weight--definitely not going to be this size by Christmas. Try to stay positive & focused, no negative self-talk...feed your body healthy nutritious food, workout, and you'll be on your way to a new n' slimmer you! :flowerforyou:
