Okay, here goes! I'm 31 years old going on 32. But it seems I look much younger than I actually am, at least according to a lot of people. People have told me they think I'm 25, 26, 23 and even as young as 20. Which I guess is a huge compliment. They are for the most part, always surprised when I tell them how old I am.

So, how old do people think you are when that old age discussion comes up? Please put you real age as well, if you're willing to.

    Is that your body?! At 45?! If so, I can see why people think you're younger. I thought you were between 25 - 30 based on that picture.

    I get 20 to thirty. I'm 25 though. Depends on how my skin is looking. When I don't get enough water or sleep it really shows.

    People are always guessing 20's for me. I tell them I ate a lot of food with preservatives as a kid.

    ETA: The truth more likely lies in the fact that I avoid the sun like the plague. Also, forgot to mention I'm 40.

    I always get mistaken for my sister who is 22! And a lot of people at work think I'm in my mid 20's when I'm actually early 30's. A bit scared that once I reach goal I'll look older!

    Exercise really helps doesn't it? Or maybe it's just good genes :laugh:

    People think I'm younger until they realise I've got a 17 year old daughter, then they are unsure. Thanks daughter :laugh:

    Very true. I'm actually alergic to vit.d (effectively alergic to sun :D) like a proper goth and aspiring vampire :D

    Does skin good, fo sho

    Edit: Also to da lady worried reachiing goal will add years to looks. Its quite the contrary. Fat puts you into age void where you look everything between 20ish to 50ish, depending how bloated and swollen you are at the moment. If you are in early 30s, drink lots of water, flip the sun or use sunscreens and eat healthy, you will look younger than you are and FEEL younger than you are.
    Trust me on that, i'm not a doctor ;)
    Was my major concern when on my way to goal and thankfully my skin looks much nicer now when some cheekbones are showing underneath it :3

    I reckon it's a combination of both! But I think lifestyle plays a bigger role than genes. It's sort of like your car. If you take good care of it, it'll still look and drive like brand new 10 or 20 years later. Same goes for our bodies. If we look after ourselves, it'll show when we're older. If we don't on the one hand, it'll also show, and it won't matter whether you have good genes or not, but your body (and often your face) will show that you don't take good care of yourself.
