The 5 questions you’re still answering
A few months ago we launched The Women at Forty Five Questions Challenge. We asked women at 40 to answer 5 questions that would help tell us about regrets, plans for our 40th and more. The catch – you had to answer in 3 words or less. The questions are:
- Most exciting thing you did/plan to do at forty?
- Biggest regret?
- The thing(s) you’re most proud of?
- The monkey on your back you can’t shake?
- Finish this sentence (ok, so technically it’s not a question) – If Three 6 Mafia can win an Oscar, I can…
And we’ve received dozen of answers ranging from “skydive naked” to “who the heck is Three 6 Mafia?” It’s been a while since we posted your responses. So here are a few of the most recent…

Theresa
Most exciting thing you did/plan to do at forty? I plan on graduating with my Master’s degree in my cap and gown.
Biggest regret? I actually don’t have any.
The thing(s) you’re most proud of? I am a self-made woman. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and joined the Navy when I was 17 years old and found a wonderful career in the government. I am successful and respected in my field. It is my hard work and persistence that has paved the way for my success. I also lost 40 pounds last year and I am back at 125 lbs and looking fantastic.
The monkey on your back you can’t shake? I get depression and sometimes have low self esteem.
