It is wonderful and commendable that you want to get fit at any age. Coming from the advanced (!) age of 52, please remember that 40 is only a number. A goal is a necessary thing to work toward but sometimes I think we concentrate so much on the "event" that we set ourselves up for failure. I don't mean to put a damper on your efforts; perhaps it was inappropriate for me to respond to this topic. Best of luck to you all at any age! :-)0

I turned 40 last November. I didn't hit my goal but started doing lots of exercise and eating more clean foods. I'm motiviated to drop some pounds before swimsuit season hits this year. Please feel free to add me.0

I'll be 40 in June. I'm looking forward to being the youngest in my age group in races instead of the oldest.0

Hi I will be 39 in March. I defintely want to be fit and trim before forty. Its hard to count calories and I don't know what to eat. Trying to eat healthier. My family don't like most food so its hard to keep everybody happy. Add me if you like.0

I'll be 40 in September, please add me too! I definitely need all the support and encouragement I can get!0

For me age is only a number, however, I will be 41 in May. Although I am probablly less fit & healthy than I was when I was younger. I actually feel younger now. than I did when I was in my 30's Since I am not getting any younger and I am at high risk for diabetes, I decided to get healthy!. Having a nice, lean, toned body is an added bonus. :happy:0

Just turned fourty this month, mindset.....an awkward teenager, not young but not old. But my body feels 80
i need to change. I have 2 grandkids 5yr & 1 yr and another's on the way in August, want to get fit for myself and them. I think friends could really help keep me on track. 0 -
I am hoping to stay motivated this time around. I want my 40's to be way better than my 30's. Fit, active and healthy.
^^^This is me... all the way...0 -
I am 4 months away from 40 and I am committed to being fit and healthy. I have joined Tough Mudder and work out 6 times a week... I need to loose 60 lbs... wish me luck!0

My 40th birthday is looming around the corner. 39 this May and by next May... the big 40.
There is something about not being fat at forty. Is there anyone on this same journey with a pretty tight timeline?
I'm not pushing 40....I'm dragging it!
Turning 41 this year and started this lifestyle change right after I hit 40, last August.0 -
Great, I am working to be fit at 70. Age is all in our head. We can look good fell good and be fit at any age.:-)0

I'm right there with you. I'll be 39 in June. I'm using 40 as a major motivation, but I have been mourning the loss of my 20s and 30s a lot lately. I wouldn't feel so bad if I had filled those two decades with wonderful memories and adventures, but the weight has held me back from really living. Here's to making our 40s the best decade of our lives (so far)!0

Just wanted to say that WOW!! This is the best looking group of 40's I have ever seen! You all are fabulous and not one of you looks 40!0
-
39 in November 2012 and 40 the following year. I will turn 40 in the best shape of my life!!0
-
Well, i missed "fit by forty" and "fabulous by fifty", so i'm working toward "sexy by sixty." LOL!
You all have the right idea, the sooner the better to be getting all this nonsense under control. i've had issues that have gotten in the way of getting this show on the road, but MFP is the thing that has FINALLY given me the help i need to support the changes i'm trying to make!0 -
I'm 42 but it's my dream to be fit by 43.0
-
Me..i'll also be 39 this may & 40 next yr....still got 95lb to lose!!0
-
42 here! I'd love to hit my goal weight by 43 which gives me 291 days to get there.
It would be great to give and get support from people in the same boat, so please feel free to send me an add request! :-)0 -

Funny I just come across this thread when I was just talking with my hubby about meeting my first goal of 140 pounds by our June vacation and I had decided that I was gonna push myself a little more and try to meet a goal of 130 by my 40th birthday in Nov! I'm 5'2" and a half..yes, I count that half..LOL..and my SW was 163.4 and I'm currently 153.4 so I'm slowly but surely getting there! I started about 6 weeks ago to give me enough time to meet the 140 goal by mid June..fingers crossed I can do it! 0
