Recently turned 55. This is the first poll in which I have checked the next higher box ... that of 55-59.

255 different viewers so far, and only 55 had the guts to check their age on the poll!!

Where's 81-84, 85-89, etc?
A little extra margin might be nice for us 75 year olds. Else I might have to feel I should be slacking off.

I'm a cheater at 47, but I'm working on it. How does this sound?

"GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU ROTTEN KIDS!!!"

Am I getting close?

56, but my latest "Wii Fit Age" is 48.

Based on the results so far it doesn't look like there'll be a BF 80+ Forum anytime soon.
