Face thinning, too much

I did go peek at your photos, too - you do look good. I don't see it. Sometimes I catch myself off guard in the mirror though - I don't even recognize myself some of the time. You look incredible and have made quite a change! And I think you look younger, personally.

Hey, I am facing the same thing here. I think it is aging related and honestly I think people, especially women, do look older when they loose a lot of weight. I am heading towards 40 also and it's difficult because facing the aging process is hard, especially when we have worked so hard to lose weight. I am trying to focus on healthy instead of looks, but let's face it, we all do.

I never ever thought of medical interventions for looks in my life, but just recently I have. I actually have an appt with a dematologist soon to discuss options that are not extreme that may help. I have also re-adjusted my goals and have decided to stop at 130 rather than down to 125 or 120. Also focusing more on weightlifting also, which I think is the way to go once you get closer to goal.

You can add me if you would like because it sounds like we are in the exact same place!

My friends mom is like on her mid 60's and I known her for a while .When she lost weight she look like 10 years older. Wonder why that happens. Maybe the fat gives the skin a younger apperance?

this is a big issue for me... when i am at my goal weight everyone thinks its their job to let me know that my face looks awful... it's true, my face looks better when i am 20 lbs over my goal - but what am i supposed to do??? I need to drop these 30 lbs and too bad about my face... my overall appearance looks better when i'm thin.... people should leave their negative comments to themselves!

I need some advice I started my weight loss challenge 2 years ago at 9st7
In a year I lost a stone just by exercising and reached 8st7 .. I was so much happier and then I started eating healthy and lost more weight dropping to 7st11 I was also put on an exercise plan by my personal trainer at the gym ..
Recently I've become more strict with my diet and fell to 7st5 and now I am scared of gaining weight! ..
I am happy with my body but people keep telling my I am too slim and don't eat enough I aim to not exceed 800kcal counting food and drink and currently exercise 6 days a week with a daily burn goal of 500kcal .. Recently I've been told to eat more and I've increased my diet to 5 meals a day eg, breakfast, fruit, lunch, fruit and main meal, sometimes a low kcal hot chocolate and I feel so guilty I'm now consuming about 1000kcal a day and I'm scared ill gain .. Cause anyone advise me on what's best eat less stick to my 3 meals 800kcal limit or increase to 1000kcal 5 meal?

It is a concern that I have too... I have heard people before commenting on other people losing weight (including myself for losing something like 4kgs in the past) by saying stuff like, oh they look much older, or they look ill etc. I think it is normal (although really disheartening) because it is a change and they do not know necessarily what has been going on.

So in your case I did the following test. I looked at your pictures (sorry a bit indiscreet) and then based on that I tried to guess how old you were. I said between 30 and 35 most likely 32. Then I checked your age and you are 37.

So to me you look younger than you are. Also bear in mind that with people that are overweight or obese it is very hard to tell their age so some people might have thought that you were in your 20s beforehand.
