I am looking back at photos, and I have to say my age was 23, my body was in the best shape. If you could go back in time or ?? not, what age would you go back to? Or , could be a future age?

    Personally I'm looking forward to 31 (next year) I'm not one you yearn for the past, besides, I intend to be in proper form so that I could kick my own @$$ at 18.

    I am at the best.....right now (45). Why? Cause I finally got myself going in the right direction (health wise). Would I want to go back to being 27? At times, but only if I know then what I know now. :happy:

    38! That wasn't too long ago, but I have noticed more skin changes as I get older. It'd be nice to have younger skin, I think. I'm waiting for a great cream to be invented :)

    Before I was in my 30's I never really did enough work with weights for my abs, so that's why earlier years don't compare.

    I turned 30 this year and love it. More confidence and I finally feel like I have my *kitten* together. My twenties were awesome, but I am much more secure with my decisions now.

    Best age for me is now. I'm fitter than I have ever been, even in my teens. I am stronger, can do more & my body looks damn good (IMHO) now at this age.

    So I guess my best age is 38.

    From 30 on. I am more confident in my skin now and I'm honestly aging really well. I am constantly told that I am better looking now, than I was in my early 20s....and I don't think I was horrible. Not to mention my ED was fully raging in my 20s and I didn't have a handle on my Celiac...so yes, definitely now, all around!

    Thinking mainly of weight/body appearance:

    Age 14-15. I was around 180 lb and looked very average, even at that weight. I was already grown woman sized at 5'8" and a 38D bra.

    Also around age 24 I was doing pretty well. I only made it down to 227 lb (previous adult low weight 'til MFP) and in some ways I had a better body then, firmer upper arms especially...although I'd have to say my legs are better now.

    I am 37 now and 206 lb. Third best shape of my life probably, and feeling the most confident and comfortable I have in my own skin since age 14.

    Late 20s, early 30s, I was HOT. Know it now, didn't know it then, I ignored flawless skin and long legs and moaned that I was a 36C and wanted bigger boobs, never measured up to hubby's "Playboy" busty blondes. Stupid. I look back at photos from that time and say to myself, "You were a fool".

    Health-wise it would be age 18, only because that was before I had a really bad accident that did permanent damage to my body. If I could go back and change anything about my life it would be that.

    Mentally - Now.

    I was really cute at 3. I have a picture of me pouting because I had a grape in my hand when I wanted candy. Completely adorable.

    22 – my last year of college. I had a blast and ZERO responsibility. I drank, partied and just had a good time.

    Physically, so far I'd say 21, but I'm planning on squashing that with 32, this time next year.

    In May, weighing in at 266, I would've said August 2007. I was 210, confident and turning heads (Or, as a guy, I like to think :) )

    However, now weighing 210 again, with serious aspirations to get to my GW of 196, I have to say right here right now!!!!

    My best age is the age I am now. I've been dramatically thinner than I am now, it was when I was in my early 30s, but it was mainly because I was depressed/unhappy. So I'll take my current proportions over that rail-thin version of myself. Most people thought I looked unhealthy back then anyway. And I'm currently at the weight I was in high school, which for an old hag like me ain't doin' too bad. :bigsmile:
