Yep! 27 F here. I have 6/6. Well I guess 5.5/6. I don’t have a six pack but I do work out 5-6 days a week and think my body is pretty solid :) I feel so blessed every day. In fact, today’s actually my birthday, and I wished for everything to be exactly the same next year as it was this year.

I will be sure to let the rest of the group know if you are a 5.5/6 :)

I have a six pack of corona and lime

Everything but 3. I have a moderate/severe physical disability that makes it almost impossible to ever feel that healthy and athletic but I’m managing it and for this disease that’s a huge win.

like

Not a total 6/6 but maybe a half point on 2 of them so 5/6
I don't think I have a dream job, I just want to do something filling and interesting every day and I have that. As I continue to grow in my career, I hope I'm always in my dream job at that time.
Def no 6 pack but working out 3x a week is all you really need to stay fairly fit, any more is adding stress, not reducing it for me.

I have none of these trying to chase all of these.

Yes! To 5/6 except 1. I’m at 125k TC. And not six pack but I work out 3x a week

I’ve never met anyone healthy and athletic with a defined six pack. I’ve met hungry people with a six pack and people loaded with PEDs but the body fat percentage required for a year long six-pack rarely leads to to a vibrant and healthy social life.

Have 3, 4, 6

Over 30 now but had all of those checked by 29. Felt great and felt lucky.

3,5 and 6

1. No
2. Yes… There are better jobs out there I think I’ll go for later on in my career but as a kid I never imagined making this much
3. Yes, gotten off track recently but was doing really good for a while
4. 100% yes
5. Yes
6. So-so

Hard to answer these as strict Y or N when they’re not black and white measurements

All I've got is #3. Life is miserable and don't see how it gets better with time. Happy Thanksgiving yall

Above 30, and still far from first 5. But have a 7th (Peace) which makes all of them feel unimportant

Yep 30 and check all the boxes. Graduated college at 24 with 2.7 gpa, front desk temp job and skinny fat virgin. Was super social though. Just kept going at it one day at a time.

How did u do all this in 6 years by being social?? Who was u talking to??

I got 6/6. Maybe 5.5 / 6. Current Job is not dream role but I’m happy. It all starts with 1 day of focus on what you want and then execute. I try to set weekly and quarterly goals to make sure I spread my time between work, SO, friends, and daily exercise. If you make a concerted effort for a few months you’ll be shocked at what you can accomplish

0/6 for me 😤

I’m 25 and have 5 of 6. Missing #3. I’m generally healthy in the sense that all my blood tests and what not are pretty normal but I do want to work out more, eat less, and lose about 20 lbs.

Throw kids in your life and it is going to be much more difficult to maintain all 6. But kids can make you happier too (not true for everyone)
