Life begins at 40

My aim was to reach my target by the time I reached 40, well I've been maintaining for about 8 weeks now without tracking. I've just finished a week in Rhodes and turned 40, and have put the obligatory couple of pounds on, but that will soon shift.

Couldn't have done it without MfP !

    This is so great to hear! So glad you've been able to maintain for 8 weeks...I'm sort of in that "maintaining...what do I do now" sort of stage and it can be rough! Happy 40th too! :)

    You actually look 10 yrs younger and your starting pics made you look much more middle-aged than late 30s.

    You should be really proud of your achievements! :bigsmile:

    Congratulations on your success. I'm intending to lose all my weight in my 40's and I think with MFP's help i can finally do it!

    Congratulations! You look amazing - Happy Birthday to you!

    That was the trigger that started my loss on here as well - I'll be turning 40 in August. It is a great motivator!! :smile:
