Mine's pretty good at the moment.
Gave up smoking last August.breathing, taste everything improved but I gained a stone in weight which apparently is due to the fact that I'm not kicking out as much adrenalin as I did when smoking. Each cigarette is a precursor for a small amount of Adrenalin, so my Doc tells me....
The bain of my life is facial dermatitis. Small dry inflamed patches on my either side of my face and forehead that can feel really iratable and look (in my eyes) a bit like leprosy. I used to think that it was psroiosis but a skin specialist told me it was dermatitis caused by using to strong an acne cream in my youth. Should have used Oxy 5 not 10....Ah well.
I get bad earache sometimes, but rarely headaches.
Bowel movements are regular. twice sometimes three times a day.
Eyesite is A1.
I go to the gym 3 times a week and work out hard.
I drink in moderation. No more than 2 bottles of wine in a week with maybe 3 brandys thrown in for good measure.
I've got athletes foot but it's only a problem in the summer.
Anything else? no not really. Besides that I've been lucky. No operations except when I was a little kid for tonsillitis. No cancers, lumps, nothing.
The going so far at the age of 37 is good. Hope it carries on that way....

You sound as though you're on your last legs mate! 
30 years old, reasonably fit, stopped smoking Sunday, reduced the amount of alcohol I drink (was a bottle of wine a night - now 1 glass), mountain biking again, going to the gym again, started swimming and about to start playing 5-a-side again

Faster, fitter, stronger and slimmer (by almost five stone 
)than I've ever been before in my life right now.
Some weeks I don't drink at all, other weeks probably three or four pints of beer tops.

Listy - at the moment I usually get up at 6am and do 5 or 8 miles from Speldhurst-Langton Green-Rusthall-Speldhurst (or back via Penshurst). No off road stuff but apparently theres a good off-road place out Groombridge way???
weights at the gym 3 times a week, 5-a-side once, football training once and then 90 minutes of football on a Saturday. I don't smoke, I'll drink a bit on a Friday, get pi55ed on a Saturday and Sunday I'll have a few as well. 6'2" and 14 stone.

From: Surviving as a soldier of fortune on the Los Angeles underground...
Started training again for the Orienteering league about a month ago and I'm starting to feel a lot stronger now.
Orienteering / Fell running on thursday nights about 5k (yes - in the dark!)
Swimming friday lunchtimes
Mountain bike on saturdays with "oor lass" so nothing extreme
Round of golf on sundays (or more orienteering if it's on)
football training on mondays & wednesdays.
thought the training was working - won my first race but had a DNF and a last since!
to the dermatitis bloke - try seeing your doctor about getting allergy tests done to see if anything is triggering it (I had them a few years ago) It puts you in hospital for a day or two but will hopefully pay off in the long run - and keep plastering the cream on. (I've had Eczema since birth)
The allergy tests take a while to do. What happened in mine was this. A large sticky pad, similar to an elastoplast, was stuck on my back, the pad had 12 small discs on it, and each discs had a common substance on it (like a food preservative for example), and if you're allergic to it - it leaves a small rash behind so you can try and avoid it from then on.
When I got my patch on, after an hour my back was killing me, and after complaining to a nurse, a massive bruise was poking out of the sides of the patch - it turned out to be Cobalt that did this (what cobalt is in I havent a clue - apart from a nuclear bomb), and the reaction was so bad that my back was bleeding where it had been touchhing me.

Personally I believe I am at my peak of fitness at the moment.
Drug free(but not for long), and healthy.
But we had this promo in work 'work in life', they weigh you, take your blood pressure, etc.
16st9lb.....
They said I was obese.
Dont these people take into account muscle mass, w4nkers.....

Criky Cobblers! That sounds awful.

Smoker 15-20 a day.
Put on half stone in last 6 months due to giving up training at gym.
Drink far too much Stella, Vodka and Red wine.
No proper regular excercise except for when I get laid, so yeah quite regular workout
Used to be quite partial to the odd disco biscuit or bit of devils dandruff, not so much anymore.
Sit on my **** at work most days drinking coffee.
Eat what I like but not too many take aways or McDonalds.
Feel Tip-Fcukin' top

5'8", 14.3~, I suppose I am 'lean' (got abs ) to most people but not to myself if u get what I mean?
I was 17 stone in summer 2002 after piling on the weight due to inactivity thru' a fairly bad motorcycle accident.
Drink only at weekends, nowhere near the volumes I used to. Have been known to take recreational 'substances', again only at weekends.
No chronic major health probs, did suffer from acne fairly badly in my teens tho'.
I'm grateful for my relatively good health. Deffo need to work on aerobic fitness!! That is a must! And eat more fruit n veg as I eat NONE! But do use supplements.

39 years old on Saturday.
Fitter than I've ever been.
Don't smoke, drink a fair bit, but not to excess.
My resting heart beat is 42.
My doctor reckons I'm the fittest person he's ever checked out (which is either a compliment or he doesn't have many patients!).
I had a cholesterol check and had to have the test done twice because the first time the couldn't measure the value and thought they'd made a mistake :-)
I've always been pretty fit and done lots of sport, but 3 years ago I started endurance mountainbiking, and from that point onwards I became mega fit.
But lifes a bitch, I will most likely drop dead tomorrow with the Black Death!!
