It seems that more and more, the newbies here at MFP are low 20's. Yay for you all, and welcome aboard! But damn, I feel old! lol

    In some circles, I'm considered old. I'm 35. But yeah I've seen a lot of younger folks here. I'm glad though that they're taking the initiative now to be healthier vs waiting till their 30's....cuz omg its so much harder now.

    38, but am always told I look about 28. I act at least that young when I can. :-)
  • I feel even older since my son #1 has turned 20 ...

    But on the other hand 41 isn't THAT old, is it? ;-))))

    Women are hot...period (please no TOM discussions). Regardless of age. Especially my girlfriend.

    The previous was a perfect example of the exact opposite of a run-on sentence.

    I feel the same way when I read some of the comments. I think, "How old is this person"? Then realize they're much younger than I, and although 44 isn't "old", I have realized how much we mature as we age.

    I'm in my 20's and I feel old. It's all relative.
  • I'm 27, but the older I get, the more immature I feel -- not sure about that one :drinker:

    Age really is just a number. We are as old as we act and/or feel! I'm 42 and my eldest is 21 and the youngest 5. People are surprised when they see her or hear me talk about her. I still feel like I'm in my 20's!! :bigsmile:

    I hope when I lose all my weight, it won't "age" me like I see it do to some others (i.e. my brother had surgery, lost like 80 lbs and looked about 20 years older!!)

    I am 23 and teach a theology group, one of my college students sent me this because my google + account had captain planet as the picture

    "Haha your old, Captain Planet came out the year before I was born. Do you remember the first season of this? Was Reagan in office when you were born? Think about this, when Carly, Maura, JP, Nick, and Mike where born, the Soviet Union didn't exist.

    Just a list of things that might make you feel old"

    Gotta love 'em haha
  • I am 31 and feel a lot better about where I am in my life NOW than I ever did in my 20's. Frankly, I thought the 30's were going to kill me, but I have to look at it this way:

    My son is in Kindergarten.
    I have an amazing career
    I am solid in my faith
    I have a good car
    I have friends that love me for who I really am
    I finally know WHO I really am!

    I'm thinking I prefer this age to that one. I'm glad that the younger crowd is taking responsibility for their health now, but I love where I am in life to not want to go back there.

    I'm 57 and I'm pretty sure I'm old. I must be because my "baby" is 25! Seems only few years ago when I was 25. I can't wait unitl l reach 60 though. At my church 60 is a senior citizen and every week there is a new senior citizen of the week. The senior citizen of the week gets a candy bar and people send cards to them. Ok, the candy bar isn't healthy but once in a while for a special occasion is okay. :bigsmile: I can't wait to be senior citizen of the week. :bigsmile:

    Old is as old as you feel!

    I'm younger than my children and their ages are 19, 18, 16 and 11.

    That's cruel. I voted for Reagan when I was 18.

    You are only as old as you feel. I am 31 but feel 18! SO maybe we should change our age to how we feel?

    The definition of "old" changes every year for me, since I can't seem to stop aging and I am definitely not old! lol

    Honestly, I never thought of anyone younger than my grandparents as old, and they're 87 and 95.

    Being young doesn't necessarily equate immaturity. Neither does being old make you mature.
