What age would you choose? Mentally you still keep growing and you keep your normal life span. Also, what age are you currently?

    For me, I’d stay somewhere in my mid-30s. Not too young looking, but still able to do things. I’m currently in my mid-40s

      Same but 34 exactly, here. At 35 one of my wisdom teeth started acting up, and I didn’t even become any wiser.

        It’s not actively hurting me, but I don’t have full range of motion when grabbing things, my grip strength is way down, and it does hurt sometimes. It’s like an 80% it’s OK, 20% it sucks kinda bad type thing.

    About 28 or 29. I’m currently mid 30s and starting to have a bit less energy than I used to.

      Felt like sometime after turning 30, something changed like a switch was flipped. Suddenly started gaining weight out of nowhere. Lol

    Probably 36, best shape of my life. I’m 43 now and it’s not bad, gotta get back at it but I felt amazing in my body in my mid thirties.

    22, peak army physical fitness. After Iraq, my mental state made it very difficult to keep it up and that started the decline. I’m now 40, with back, feet, ankle and knee problems despite not being hugely overweight.

    I actually think it would be cool to be in your 70s - you can still do most things and can mostly think straight but other people think you cannot and so they don’t bother pestering you.

    I’d wanna go back to 22, currently almost 30. I developed a lot of health complications around 23-24, and 22 is the last time I remember my body not being in constant pain.

    Don’t need the whole body, just turn all my joints/cartilage/soft tissue back to 18 and I’ll just keep it moving (literally)

    32, just before my metabolism slowed down, my muscles gave up and waved a little white flag, and without any warning at all, I was suddenly a fat bastard.

    18 - I thought I was fat because waifs were in style, but my body was actually banging. I’m 72. I would most of all appreciate being arthritis free, with major organs all working at optimum.

    Look after your knees, people.

    26 was the last age I didn’t notice wrinkles and could grow a good beard. The beard keeps people from perceiving you as young.

    Off the top of my head? 30. I was fully transitioned but my chronic illness has not taken off yet.

    Currently 40
