    Well I passed the 40 mark and now working on the fit at 41 (in August). I had to radiate my thyroid 2 years ago and let me tell ya that has been a struggle and a half. I am bound and determined to get FIT and stay that way no matter the cost.

    How about fit and FIFTY!!

    I had a baby at 43, now I am 46 rapidly approaching the big 5 Ohhhhhh, and I am in as good of shape if not better than I was in high school.

    I do not weigh what I want, but physically and athletically I am prime!!

    Age is only a number not an excuse :)

    I agree.... age is only a number. Exercise is the fountain of youth.

    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?

    It's never too late :-) Great job in embarking on the journey of fitness. Can you imagine how thankful your body will be? your body will speak to you. saying thank you - Let's go biking, hiking, rowing, running and so much more. your body will never get tired of telling you thank you. And. You will know because you will be able to be part of so many activities out there that will help you reach your goal ! Congrats!

    To the OP, I actually turn 40 in May of 2013 too! This is my first post here. I lost 60 pounds 3 yrs ago but have gained almost all of it back. Starting again. I swear, keeping weight off is harder than losing it!

    I am. I decided I didn't have a choice in getting older but that I can at least look good while doing it.

    Hello I'm 44, most people say I look like I'm in my late 20's or early 30's which I find funny because some days I feel 90. Someday I want someone to say wow look at that beautiful woman, instead of "you have such pretty eyes". Trying to follow suit and get fit over 40!

    I turned 40 this past Dec. and I started around Sept./Oct. on my journey to lose 25 lbs. Well, I did not make it because I wasn't consistent with eating right and working out...so no surprise there. And, my b-day came and went and I still wasn't back down 2 my "fighting weight." Then, I saw the pix from my40th b-day party and I was like "who is that fat chick...she cute, but she looks plump in that outfit." Then I realized it was ME!!! And that was the beginning of my journey with MFP; I started on Jan. 5 and now I am determined to be 41 and fabulous! I have lost 11 lbs. and I've got 19 lbs. to go! Friend me and we can keep each other motivated...good luck on your journey!
