    me, that's me. I've been working at it since I was 32 with a couple kids in between, but I am still working at it HARD. I have less than six months before I hit 40.

    That had been my goal too, but I fell off the wagon over the summer and missed it (40th birthday was last November)! Never mind, at least I got back on track 6 weeks before my birthday, and am now targeting hitting my goal whilst in my 40th year (currently shooting for June)!!

    Good luck everyone!!! :smile:

    I'm in the middle of forty. Feels like I'm in my twenties. Actually I'm more fit now than when I was in my twenties.

    I'm 37, 2 kids, a dog and a supportive hubby and I have decided to eat healthy and be active. I want to look good in my forties and beyond. Add me if you like! So far since I have started MFP, my start weight is 200 lbs and as of today I'm 158.2. No more excuses!

    I'm about ten years too late for this discussion, but I've got a similar goal.

    I turn 50 in September, and am trying to get down to my target weight (or close to it) by then. I'm planning on visiting the 50th state for my birthday, and really want to be able to go to the beach and not be embarrassed to take my shirt off in public.

    Being fit by 40 was my goal! I met (actually exceeded) the goal last September! :bigsmile:

    Yep! 40 is just under 2 years away for me and a real marker in the sand for getting my body and fitness back after a child rearing 30's.

    Turning 40 this summer on July 6! I'm tired of being tired and pudgy! Working on eating better and exercising more. I do not want to look the same way I did on my birthday last summer!

    My wife and I are 39 with the Big 4-0 birthday this summer. We are working hard to be close to or at our goals weights by our birthdays.

    I'll be 39 in June and hope to be at my goal weight by the time I turn 40. My headline on my profile says, "50 before 40," so I have 33 pounds to go until goal. I think I can, I think I can... :laugh:

    I started my journey when I turned 39 wanted to be fit at 40, but my 40th year was actually a very stressful year and it didn't happen as planned, but I am still in my 40th year. 41 in May. I am on the right path now and looking forward to the future. Being fit, healthy and happy. I don't look nor do I act like I am 40. So I am here to motivate and need motivation, so please feel free to add me if you would like.

    I've wasted almost 7 years with this added weight. Vowed to myself to be in shape when I hit 40--just turned 42 this month and it FINALLY hit home. So all you soon to be 40 somethings...do it now, no more wasting precious time feeling the way you are. Besides the weight factor, being in the 40's is pretty darn good!! :wink:

    I just turned 40 in Dec and am probably more fit now than I've ever been in my life. I was bummed I didn't reach my goal before my 40th. But I try not to dwell.

    Hi! Just signed up to this site yesterday and need buddies! I turn 39 this December and like you said, 40 is right around the corner. I need to lose about 100 lbs and get back in shape. My husband and I want children and I am in no shape for that right now. I know my clock is ticking too, so gotta get a move on.
