I was running 5 miles 4 x/week and then running up to 12 miles on the weekend. I worked out with a trainer and was doing chip-ups and one-arm push-ups. I also wasn't dating anyone, so that was pretty much my social life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life/page/2#post-210924 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:31:11 +0000 Meridian 210924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Summer of 2004 when I was 24! I actually ENJOYED working out 4-5x a week and ate pretty healthy. That only lasted about a year and then I met my DH and started gaining weight... Happy weight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life/page/2#post-210915 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:00:23 +0000 pastemoo 210915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was at my heaviest (and definitely carrying too much weight)--I was also a really great athlete, in grad school and on a competitive ultimate disc team, ran a marathon, and placed in my age group twice in 5ks. Let say-- fall of 2007</p> <p>Before I was pregnant, I was slower running, but thinner and happier with myself.</p> <p>And... I was a gymnast in high school and college. Pretty much always been in shape. I even taught a TRX class at 39 weeks pregnant. Now, 6weeks pp, I feel quite lazy and out of shape. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210896 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:06:02 +0000 erwoo 210896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twelve years ago when I trained to run a half-marathon. Now that I'm done with kids I'd like to train to run a couple of marathons if my body and my schedule allows me to! I'm 25 lbs heavier than I'd like but it's not too bad considering that I've had two kids. It really helped to not gain too much with my pregnancies. And both times I didn't make any efforts not to gain too much weight. Just worked out that way, thankfully! I miss not being self conscious of my flabby arms! I have flabby arms gene not matter how in shape I am! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210845 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:03:49 +0000 Freckles 210845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the few months prior to getting pregnant. I was working out 6-7x a week and my running pace was the fastest it had ever been. Even though i was skinniest at 25, i was much fitter at 30. My resting heart rate was even lower than my husband's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210839 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:54:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 210839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been really slender (except now lol), but I was super toned with super flat abs when I was 25-26. I worked out with a personal trainer 3x a week, and worked out in total 5-6 days a week (both cardio and weights) and looked and felt awesome. </p> <p>My metabolism slowed once I hit 30, and post-baby I'm heavier than I've ever been, and very, very soft and squishy. Maybe I'll ask my husband for a personal trainer for my birthday if I don't lose the weight by then!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210836 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:45:55 +0000 Boogs 210836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably when I was 14-15, ahh the good ol days of being tiny and tan... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210826 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:36:54 +0000 MsMamaBear 210826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>College. Worked out all the time, I was FINE! I miss that body.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210823 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:34:30 +0000 Periwinkle 210823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was the thinnest (and felt like I was in the best shape!) during college, but I probably wasn't taking the best care of myself then! Best shape overall was probably leading up to our wedding, almost 5 years ago. I felt strong and confident and that made me happy :) I'd like to get there again after baby!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210821 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:30:12 +0000 heffalump 210821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school. I played tuba so I marched around carrying a fifty pound instrument for practice two days a week, games on Friday nights, and sometimes weekends for competitions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-210794 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:52:16 +0000 Teachermama 210794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I was pregnant...now I feel the body aches, and I am so out of shape, no time to do anything with baby, I tried to do excercises with him, squats, crunches, but hard to make that time. Just started to go back to running, and body just feels so weak, amazing how body changes after pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-207012 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 19:12:39 +0000 mrs. wagon 207012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been really in shape because I hate exercise. But right before our wedding I was working out about 3 times a week, so I was pretty toned. But after the wedding, I lost 25 lbs and went from size 10 to size 6. So I was smaller, but still pretty flabby, when I lost weight (on Weight Watchers) after the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-206744 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:43:19 +0000 chopsuey 206744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably at 21.

We ate McDonald's like 3 times a week but I didn't gain an ounce! I looked amazing, sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-206651 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:29:21 +0000 banana 206651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely high school.

I was also taking pilates and dance classes, so I was lean but defined. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-in-the-best-shape-of-your-life#post-206503 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:56:13 +0000 Sophia 206503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say senior year of high school until I was 21.
