About a year ago I came upon this page and did the test. I was devastated with the results, which put me at 10%+ over my real age.

After 4 months of MFP..changing my eating habits, adding exercise, lowering my cholesteral and no longer taking crestor, my Real Age has gone done 10 years!

Who would have thought making such changes as adding fruits and veggies could make such a huge difference.

So now I am more commited than ever to a healthier lifestyle!

    My calender age is 45.7 and my REALAGE is 41.1, so yay me!!

    Interesting.

    A couple 23 year olds recently asked me how old I was, and my response was "How old do I look and act?".
    They replied "36-37."

    Preen, preen.... :heart:

    I've been around the sun 26 times.

    But my real age is 24. I'm extremely overweight but I think - not smoking and drinking helps take care of my body. Plus of course, what I'm doing for it now.

    I really do believe my body is a temple - its just those darn baked goods ...they get me everytime!:grumble:

    I am telling y'all. I was floored when I put all my info in last year and it told me my 'real' age was 55...I was only 46!

    As I have changed my habits it has reduced and I am sure the 22 pounds shed from my body has a great deal to do with my new 'real' age of 43.9!!!

    This is true. However, Dr. Oz does this test and he thinks everyone should drink a glass of wine or something like that a day. He believes it is healthier and de-toxifying (I believe is the word).

    It had my age as healthy too because of exercise even though I am still so overweight.

    I have always had a problem with Dr Oz because of this. I come from a long line of alcoholics, so a glass of wine is deadly in my family. My mom died of cirhosis of the liver.
    So if he deducted from me for that-poo on him I am still 42!! haha

    If you look there is a section that tells you what you can do to lower your real age. Some of mine were impossible-like cancer in the family. But some made a real difference like adding vitamins and calcium, and more veggies

    My RealAge
    Calendar Age 38.6
    Difference +1.4
    RealAge 40.0

    My slacking off at the gym along with the stress in my life right now, and the smoking I do - I know these are the reasons for my results. But the good news is that the stress is starting to go away and I will quit smoking by the end of the year. And the gym...well, I'm back at it 100% tomorrow. That should make a big difference.

    Yeah...I'm fortunate to have good health and good genetics. But should change some of my diet habits. Don't think the red meat once a week is gonna happen! But could try to get more veggies in!
