    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! :-)

    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.

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

    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.

    ME! I turn 40 this July and was hard core trying to get fit before then. I have been sidelined for the past month as I recover from knee surgery but am getting back in the swing of things....

    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:

    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...

    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.

    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)!
