I'm 49 and most days feel better then I did in my 20's and 30's. I do have my days though and I'm having more of those days lately because of a bad knee!

I am 40 and I guess I look about 30.. When I tell people I have three teens they tell me either I started out young having kids (I was almost 23), or they flat out tell me I am lying about my age.. UMMM I would then tell you I was 30 not 40... Any how I feel ancient sometimes. But most of the time I feel just about 40.. Great thread.

I'm 61 and mostly feel every year of it! But I keep busy and Thank the Lord for every day I have.

Lying that you are older than you are?

Now, that's funny.

I am 40. Feel like early 30's. Wondering how I can possibly be 40

momof42003: I actually hear you about that. I'm blonde with gray in my hair, but for some reason people think I'm about 40 when I'm 52. I don't get it. I guess the gray just doesn't show that much yet. I've been told I act younger too. I think that just means I have more enthusiasm than a lot of people?

I guess I'm one of the older ones.
I'm 65 and most days feel about 45.
I'm healthy and in pretty good shape, so that helps.

I'm 62. People guess my age at early 50s. I took an age quiz today, and it put me at 57 (based on lifestyle and medical history. But I don't mind 62. The years have been good to me overall; I am comfortable, have loving people around me, have lots of fun and activities. I have some wrinkles, which I don't mind, and my hair is a natural platinum gray (I just let it go out of curiosity to see what color it really was....lol!). I weigh more now than I did when I was young.... and I'm working on it, but my pounds love me. I am much more confidant in my own skin now than when I was younger. I know what works for me.... and what doesn't. I know my boundaries, and values, and standards, and I don't mind standing up for these things. I've learned to accept me for who I am, and to forgive myself. I've learned that God is a force that I want in my life, and I'm trying to learn more about Him. So overall, 62 is OK.... and the Social Security check doesn't hurt a bit!

But what age do I feel that I am? Hard question. This is the first time I've been 62, and I rather like it. So I guess it doesn't hurt to say that I feel like I'm 62.

75. I feel great most of the time. The last 25 or so years have been the best time of my life, so I wouldn't want to feel any younger than 50! My daughters are both in their 50's and I hope it keeps getting better for them, too.
