I wish I had put more work into my physique when I was a younger. Gains would've been easier!!

    Not keeping fit past my 40's. I was in good shape back then, it's been a struggle to do it now. I'm getting there though. 15-20 pounds to go and feeling better than I have in years.

    I would say not being more open to try unfamiliar things from foods to adventures, I'm such a person of habit.

    Yup, true. The words "sheltered life" come to mind for me too

    That I got into fitness earlier. It turns out it's something I really enjoy.

    I wish I would have not always put myself last for so long. I also wish I would have dated more and not settled down so young.

    My biggest regret is that I started smoking when I was a young teen....kept poisoning myself until 11 years ago...TWENTY THREE years to regret. Word to nonsmokers and young people, DONT START!!!

    That I went to college right after high school instead of getting married and having my daughter. Feels like I'm missing out on her growing up because I work and go to school now. Oh well... live and learn.

    It's a toss up either starting smoking or not keeping up with a healthier lifestyle and exercise when I started grad school

    +1 Seriously, I am 41 and just last year FINALLY decided I was worth a degree. In the local college, couldn't be happier.

    However, I will say that I had a great stretch of time to raise my kids, and they are AMAZING, so the last 20 years was definitely not a waste.

    That's great! I went back when I was 35. I have one more year to go before I finish with my BA. I just wished I would have done it sooner. Also, I was always putting everyone else first that I didn't take time for me. Now, I take the 30 minutes to an hour everyday to workout. I realized it's okay to be selfish sometimes, but it took my 40 years to learn it.

    I regret not learning about financial things sooner. I'm 30 and there was so much that I was completely clueless about. I also wish I would have known what I wanted to major in while I was living at home. Unfortunately I didn't figure that out until a couple years ago and now I'm an 'adult' and this *kitten* is hard!

    Yup finances for me too, wish I'd planned ahead. Also wish I'd developed a skill e.g. martial art, art or something cool
