I ran across this board last night but had problems logging in but I found it again this morning so it must be meant for me to be here...LOL.


Oh how badly I wanted to hit the "getting fit in your.....30's......" but seeing as I'm 39, I figured I should go ahead and hit the 40's group since I'm closer to 40.


I am currently overweight and am trying to lose weight on my own. I can tell from the posts here

Good morning and welcome to the FOF board......yup you are close to that 40 mark. When do you turn 40, if I may ask? I thought I was going to hate being in my 40's but I will say my life has changed so much in the last 8 years I would not trade them. I became a smarter, kinder, outgoing person then I was way back when. Unfortunatly loosing weight once we hit our 40's is definatly more difficult but it is doable. Especially if you commit yourself to trying and hang around here. It is not an easy journey but it is an interesting one. Start with baby steps with water, food and exercises........sometimes we try to do too much at once and we set ourselves up for failure. Stick around you are more then welcome to join our "merry" group. Heck even our CL has been 39 for ......................8 years now. How she does it we don't know. She won't share her secret.
