I was much more fit before I had my ACL reconstruction surgery about 10 months ago. But now that it's been 10 months I'm starting to get into my conditioning/sports again so that fitness is starting to come back. Man, though, it sucks how easily cardio disappears on you. And it's the worst feeling in the world when you're trying to get it back.
This should not be a competition.
I believe I would be considered fit but I feel like I could do better.
I run 5K two days a week in under 29 minutes.
I lift 3 days a week.
But I consume wine or beer, and yogurt with honey almost every day. Not very healthy.

I run 5k every 2 days and I try to work out at home.
I'm overweight, but fairly tall. Give me another 3 months and I might start getting into shape.
The biggest thing I've done diet wise is stick to the 1:3 rule. Eat whatever you want, but make sure there is 3x as much in veg or fruit.

Pretty damn fit. In the gym 6, sometimes 7 days a week (skip if I'm too hungover on a weekend day); alternate between lifting and cardio, though my cardio is really just doing the stair climber and abs.
I still think about where I'd be if I hadn't kept taking extended time off from the gym at various parts of my life. I've always been lean so even then I never got overweight but I've been working out since high school (~16 years). If I had stayed more consistent that entire time can't imagine how ripped I'd be.

Those are great numbers! I am about there on squat and deadlift but my bench press is a real struggle, can't get past 240.......been my worst / hardest to improve lift for the last 2 years.
When I tried crossfit years ago we never did heavy it was always volume volume volume speed speed speed.

Back in February I was obese. Now I run 5 km thrice a week without stopping. It feels good, people.

Try to get three visits to the gym per
Week, 50 minutes of cardio each visit. Some weightlifting mostly for the chest to get rid of my moobs.
I currently weigh 201 lbs at 5'8. I'm trying to get to 185 and I'll be set. I was originally 232 before I started back in November 2015.

I eat healthier than before, eat little to start with, and run 5-6 times a week. I'm kinda weak, but lately I've been doing more physical labor helping my mom move.

I used to be 306. I got down to 204, but now I've rebounded to 222. I want to get down to 190 by the end of the year.
Honestly, I'm just a food slut. I need to be better with my diet. I used to have great control, but when I don't feel productive, I tend to binge eat. I've slashed it down to like 1700, but now it's about making sure I stick.
In terms of working out, elliptical 3 times a week for an hour (heart rate generally around 140), 2-3 days of Stronglifts 5x5. 28 years old, 5'9". I don't really have a very good plan, just trying my best not to eat emotionally, stay productive, and work out at least an hour a day, six days a week. Sometimes I feel like I've plateaued or stalled.

Damn, I admire your dedication to eating like that, but honestly a diet that looks like that will doom most people to failure. It's just too restrictive and bland. Again, good on you for sticking to it, but for the average person trying to get in better shape, there needs to be more variety and flavor.
It's not burgers and beer OR steamed rice with greens. There's lots of options in the middle. But to each their own.
Quite fit. 6'7" and between 207-212 lbs. Started doing triathlon training again, have built up to 10-12 hours of exercise a week and looking to get to 14-16 over the next several months. Still tilting to look at my fitness from a few years ago when I could go for a 3-4 hour ride in the middle of the day.
Biggest issue has been rebuilding core strength; sitting at a desk 10-12 hours a day and going 2 years without swimming or weightlifting has led to back issues and strength assymetries.

Care to elaborate on how you work on your core?
Climbing. Scaling facades.

After being overweight my entire life I've went from fattie to dad bod, I probably wont get 6 pack abs but it's a lot better than having a huge gut. I'm hurdling towards 40 too, I'm doing much better than the dudes who have beer guts and balding. Which is ironic because some of them were the fit buff dudes when we were younger.
It's a huge game changer I'm still getting used to, all the positive attention and such.

Doctors during my stress heart test were very impressed. Resting heart rate 40-45 BPM. Source - I bike 8 miles every day at a mostly sprint pace. I lift twice a week too. Getting attention from my friends for being ripped just because they knew me before, but just average fit looking on the streets IMO.
Taking really awesome shits lately, and that's basically what I care about most.

I'm completely out of shape at the moment and have put on like fifteen pounds the past four months (not good muscle weight either).
I've been living away from home for nine months on a work detail and the tail end of it has been stressful, combined with really being ready to go home and be in my own house, and missing my own social circle (though I've made a good group of friends here). That's resulted in stress and boredom eating, being exhausted, and not working out the last two or three months like I normally do and should.
Luckily I go home next week, so I can get back home and back into my normal workout routine and get my diet back in order.

I made a quick and dirty Google Sheet which I will update on the 21st of every month going forward to try and keep myself accountable.
Day one went well, I ate a total of 1,453 calories which I'm happy with. I also managed to do one 10 Minute segment of 10 Minute Trainer which I know isn't a lot but you have to start somewhere and right now my body just can't handle more than that. MyFitnesPal recommends 1,670 calories per day for a 2lb/week loss and if I stick to the meals I've planned out I hit that every time, usually with room to spare like today.

I'm already dead.
Im an aspiring athlete.
During training I've been doing weights 4-5 times a week and running/martial arts once
but when I get to work I will be going to the gym every weekday to do jiu jitsu and lifting 3 times a week.
Probably put a 5km run in there once a week.
That chart says I'm 26 with the fitness of a 22 year old... which is good I guess?

I feel like I messed up somewhere because I'm 20 and it said I have the average fitness of a 71 year old. And I workout 3-4 days a week.
It's like Dr Kawashima all over again.
Running two times a week (9-15km), bit of fitness training two others days (15-20mn), and I try to put some bicycle the week-end (50-90km), sometimes I try to fit a swimming session (1.5-2km) but it's hard to manage for various reasons.
I walk around 1h a day too at least, and I have ~8h night sleep usually
I'd say I've been doing that for around two years now, and it took me one and half a year to reach that point.
I'm a runner first and foremost, began triathlon one year ago because I like bicycle (and I hate swimming) and I already reached my goal in running when I finished my first marathon.
So yeah I'm fit, I could improve my diet by eating less sugar but that's almost all.
Only drink water, never smoked, don't like alcohool (and by that I mean the taste, and no it doesn't get better even after a decade of trying) and I try to eat as much vegetables and fruits as I can.

I would literally murder people to look like this.

Thanks man! Sometimes it's tedious (working out, prepare meals etc) but it's worth it in the end. But why wouldn't you be able to 'look fit'?

I go to the gym three days a week, run about 15 miles a week, and try to do strength but I'm not super crazy or strict about it. Even still, I'm like a pound overweight and I'm 186 lbs at 6"2. I try to eat healthy every day but sometimes it's harder than others.
Do you go to a globogym? And, if so, do they offer classes? If they do, there's probably some kind of weighted cardio class that you might like.

Love weightlifting. Hate cardio. At most I'll do 5-10 mins cardio on leg day.
Not a fan of those group fitness classes where they blast shitty music, Id rather listen to my own music.
