      I am 27 now, and I was "at my best" when I was 19 years old-playing College Basketball, and working out everyday.

      BUT...I am working hard THIS year to get myself in EVEN BETTER shape then I was back then. PLUS my eating habits are MUCH healthier than the college days too, lol. :smile:

      Current age is 49 and I am at my best now! I'm stronger and can run farther than I did at 18. Also had my first baby at 45, my 40's have been my best decade!

      I should add that I was a high school athlete in several sports.

      Prime age: birth. Weighed 7 pounds, perfect average weight.

      It all went downhill from there. I was a chubby baby and just kept getting chubbier until I was just an obese kid.

      I'm not at my very thinnest, but overall, I'm definitely at my "best", healthiest - most muscle, can run far longer than ever before. Hooray! :)

      That's awesome to hear!! I'm glad I waited until later to even think about having kids. Still not sure I would like to. But coming across people who have done it at a later age is always encouraging.

      Hi ... my name is crzysprstr
      My best weight ever was when I was still dancing at 119.

      I'm 40 and I was 28 when I was at my best shape and weight. I was running on a consistent basis. Although now that I think about it, I was running figuratively - pushing in extra projects or appointments on my schedule. It was always go, go, go and then I took a job that brought me less stress. The downside to that, of course, is I'm sitting at a computer all day. My calorie burn at work went from active to sedentary. I just can't accept sedentary!

      I'm 39.

      I expect I'll be at my best sometime over the next 10 years or so. Maybe later.

      I'm 22 and my best weight, sadly, was probably when I was 7 or 8. I was an active kid and traveled a lot in the summer to places that required physical activity from dawn til dusk. I was maybe 120, 140 at the very most.

      30 now and I was at my best at 22. I had a active physical job and I was in the best shape physically, then I had an minor accident which left me weak and anemic and side effects from a drug had me depressed for one whole year. I quite my physical side job and focused on school so I didn't regain my strength.... but watch out now I'm about to be in even better shape then I was then! NO DOUBT!
      It's so great when you REALLY realize what you can do and put it into action :happy:

      I'm almost 39, and I'm at my best right now. This is the strongest and fittest I've ever been. Oh, yeah. Looking forward to seeing what's to come.

      Wow, you are all very inspiring. I posted 34 as my previous best year but I'm hoping to make 43 and into 44 my best year. I had a couple of bad years with knee surgery, a badly broken collar bone, and an 8 month deployment in the military spanning age 40 to 42, I was at my worst shape and fitness, but I'm coming back. Set your goals; be it best physique, fastest run, highest place finish or PR in a race, or lowest healthiest weight; write down your goal and work to achieve that goal...you will never regret doing your best to achieve, you will forever regret not giving it a shot. Keep it up everyone, thanks.

      22 when I was 22 I was in incredable shape, I would unloud trucks faster then the guy's I worked with, I rode my bike to work and back, and I even went to the gym and weight lifted, I ate 5 servings of fruit a day, and I ate pretty well,

      I had just gotton a new 2007 corola and was pretty sure my boss who I loved loved me back,

      almost five years later turns out I was right lol we will be married five years this august, thank God I didn't marry a vain man and hasn't even noticed my weight gain,

      even though 22 was my best so far it won't be my last best

      I'm 29 and I think my best was 16-18 ... I worked out a lot, I was popular, I was smart, I hadn't been diagnosed bipolar and been hospitalized for it yet ...

      I'll be 42 on Thursday and I can honestly say I can do things right now I could never have done at any previous age.

      I am 36 years old and I am at my physical best today.
    • Posts: 277 Member
      I am currently 33

      I think I was at my best when I was 28. I was no longer bony skinny, had enough curves to turn heads and was traveling to different states to run half marathons.

      I am 31 and probably at my best now. I was lazy as a teenager / early 20-something. I also wore mens clothing a lot. Not sure what was up with that. So I'm in the best shape now, I dress much better, have better sex, make more money, have a wonderful family.... Yeah, definitely better than being a chubby poor 20 year old in mens clothing.
