I was pretty fit in my late 20s too, biking, swimming and running. Now that I have kids, my body is ok, but I'm just not fit anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak/page/2#post-1493387 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:03:07 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1493387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't got there yet.

So I knew I looked great...it was more for my own self confidence...not to get him back or anything ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak/page/2#post-1493364 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:04:32 +0000 mrbee 1493364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Wow, what did your ex say?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak/page/2#post-1493363 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:02:50 +0000 sandy 1493363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other than high school, I think it was when I was 26 - I worked out daily to get fit for my friend's wedding bc my ex was going to be there too. I looked awesome ;) . I lost a ton of weight and got skinny for my wedding when I was 28 but it was skinny-fat...I basically lost my appetite and didn't eat much while wedding planning...so even though I looked great in clothes I wasn't physically fit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak/page/2#post-1493359 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 00:58:40 +0000 Corduroy 1493359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was fittest 28-30. Then I got pregnant. I was still very fit during pregnancy but pp we moved away from the gym I loved and I have no time. We just bought a rower though so things are looking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak/page/2#post-1493227 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:08:59 +0000 BoogieBea 1493227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The year before and the year after our wedding. We just had so much time to workout back then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1493203 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:52:11 +0000 sarac 1493203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't hit it yet. I'm in the best shape of my life, but I have 20 more pounds to lose from my big gain after high school. The best is yet to come, for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492905 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:52:20 +0000 Meridian 1492905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Midway though 2004 when I was 24, and it lasted less than a year, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492897 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:50:08 +0000 Trailmix 1492897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In 2010, when I ran the Boston Marathon in 3:12!

I have the same body but just a little softer. Ain't nobody got time to 2-a-days a the gym with a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492887 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:45:12 +0000 PurplePumps 1492887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 23 and unemployed for almost a year. I had all the time in the world to hit the gym 4-5x a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492854 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:28:24 +0000 indi 1492854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18. College cheerleading was far more intense than the stuff I was doing in high school, and I was eating well and had all that time between classes to hit the gym. Man, if I could only find that body back. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492781 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:57:33 +0000 allison 1492781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. I kind of think I'm at my peak now! I'm a little too thin, I guess, from breastfeeding, but I'm stronger than I have ever been because I tote a 25 lb human around everywhere. And it's very hilly where I live, so pushing a double stroller around the neighborhood takes a lot of oomph. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492762 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:46:39 +0000 MsMamaBear 1492762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now at 32! I run now, was never a fan til last year! Running 4 miles without stooping is big for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492738 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:32:18 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1492738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: The best is yet to come ;-)</p> <p>Probably high school for me -- I played sports and was my thinnest but also had the most muscle tone. Although summer before I got pregnant I did a coupe of triathlons (including an Olympic distance) so I was in pretty good shape, just didn't look great hahahah. Maybe I'll be motivated after LO arrives to get back into fighting shape and bust out that Half Ironman I've always wanted to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492683 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:07:24 +0000 MrsH 1492683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping I haven't hit it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492677 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:06:21 +0000 Running Elley 1492677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The year prior to my wedding for sure! I had lost a lot of weight, was running very regularly and racing and I just felt really great about my body!!!</p> <p>I'm hoping to have another peak in the next couple of years while I take a break from being pregnant ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492606 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:47:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1492606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say age 25-26... I was more comfortable in my own skin and my identity more than I was when I was in college, I was running half marathons all the time and doing bikram yoga, finally making a decent salary above entry level... was in love with my now husband, friends hadn't scattered all over the place yet and we were all still in the same life stage. Life was carefree and fun!</p> <p>Eta: Oops I misread your question... but even just counting the physical peak I'd say 25-26! The freshmen 15 was long gone by then, thank goodness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492603 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:46:23 +0000 MediaNaranja 1492603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in the peace corps, so 2008-2010. I walked everywhere, ate only fresh fruits and veggies and pretty much stopped eating meat, and I worked in a small community that was a three-hour one-way hike up and over two mountains twice a week. I also was on the municipal basketball team, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492587 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:42:10 +0000 Greentea 1492587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like age 14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492257 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:04:49 +0000 plantains 1492257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never? High school maybe? I played basketball. I was pretty thin for most of my life until I had DD but I never really worked out. Now I work out about 3-4 times a week, but I still need to eat properly and stop drinking so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492249 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:00:50 +0000 heartonastring 1492249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spring/summer of 2012...right when I got pregnant! I was going to CF 3-4x/week and walking 5k twice a week. I hope I can get back there sometime in the next 6-12 months.</p> <p>Eta: I was 30 at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492248 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:00:48 +0000 blackbird 1492248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in great shape in high school. I played a bunch of sports and was in amazing cardio shape! But I can lift more now than I ever could, so...it's a trade off. But I've never been super lean--not cut or ripped or anything like that. I'm slowly working my way there, though. </p> <p>I definitely take care of my body better now, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492216 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:50:33 +0000 mrsjazz 1492216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. As of right now it was high school. I was a sprinter, worked out 4-5 days a week, including lifting. I had buns and abs of steels and my legs were so cut.</p> <p>But I'm hoping to have another peak. As soon as I stop eating these French fries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492199 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:43:01 +0000 chopsuey 1492199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20-21 and 29-30<br /> hoping to peak again sometime soon. HAHA. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-physical-peak#post-1492191 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:40:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1492191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I don't feel like I've ever really had a peak. </p>
