Who is working to be fit at fourty

todaystuesday

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?

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.

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!

I restarted this healthy journey four months AFTER I turned 40 !! What a great time for a new beginning

I wish you luck on your goal !!

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!

Yes! I am forty now that decided it was time to get into shape.

I turned 39 in December and said the same thing my primary goal by my 40th birthday is to be under 200 pounds, as of my last weigh in I have 31 pounds to go to be 199lbs by my birthday I am working to be less then 199 lbs. Good luck too you and let's be friends.

good luck.

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!
