Did losing the weight make you look older or younger?

I think it makes me feel younger so I look younger.

I agree with this I think I look younger than I did - see profile pic... but the biggest comment I get is that I look happier, which to me is a way better complement!

Losing the weight made me go from looking much older than my age to much younger than my age and I was recently getting hit on by High School football players and told them I have no desire to be a pedo.

You without a doubt look younger from your picture!

I think it makes me look and feel:happy: younger, because, I feel weight loss takes years off me.

I like to think I look younger.

<---- Only 3 months difference here

errrr I never thought I looked younger or older after my weight loss, just brighter lol ^_^

Menopause turned me into a freak of nature. I menopaused at age 53. Within 3 years, my hourglass figure became distorted beyond recognition. I did not gain any weight. I have never been pregnant. Suddenly, I had a matronly body-- a flat butt and a fat waist and midriff. I looked deformed. My normal weight was 135 and my measurements 38-28-38 before menopause destroyed my figure. I wore size 8 jeans. When menopause demolished my figure, I went on a diet. I lost 27 pounds and measured 35-27-33 at 108. I wore size 4 jeans. It was a huge trade-off. My face looked the same; however, my upper arms were covered with deep corrugated wrinkles, my midriff and waist and stomach looked like seersucker, my butt hung in wrinkled folds just like wrinkled clothes. My body looked overall much older after the weight loss. My skin never snapped back. Now, I am 61 and intentionally gaining weight. I am back to the matronly blob, in the 120s (I am 5' 3 1/2") and now my arms are smooth again and my belly, midriff and waist, distended by fat, are smooth. I am going to see whether my butt will ever look human again if I gain a few more pounds. I truly feel enormous because my waist is only 5 inches less than my hips. I hope I do not have to return to the 130s to iron out these butt wrinkles. Even then, it might not work.:noway:

Younger - I got carded the other night when I was walking into a bar.. At 33, I almost wanted to hug the door guy lol

I believe if you keep your body fat % at a healthy number, not on the super low end, and stay hydrated, you will look younger. If you have too little body fat or are not adequately hydrated, your appearance can suffer and you may look older than you really are.

For example, without enough body fat, your veins will be more pronounced in your arms, legs, and extremities, just as they tend to be in an elderly person. Without adequate hydration, your skin will likely be more saggy and not as elastic, so your weight loss may result in loose skin where it may not have if it was properly hydrated.

Regular exercise made my veins more pronounced, long before I approached any kind of leanness. :ohwell: And not having as much fat to prop it up made my skin more saggy and elastic despite plenty hydration. :sad: :drinker: But, yeah... fat levels definitely make a difference to how much older you look especially the older you actually are. I'd happily inject a little more fat back into my cheeks.

Yep, I've been told I look like a teenager again :blushing:
I've had teens eyeball me quite a bit too :noway: :noway:

I don't currently look like I do in my profile pic though, that was 30#'s ago :smokin:
I'm due for an 'after' pic:smokin: for sure!

I'm not even 26 yet... but I personally think that the whole weight loss made me appear yourger. All those pounds make me look bad... and old.
But my face was kind of baby like with those big cheeks. But still, I was mostly taken older than I was.

Younger for sure! I was afraid at my age (47) losing weight in my face would leave me with more wrinkles. I actually have less! I think a healthier diet, more water, and better circulation due to exercise improves everything.

Younger...thinner people tempts to use younger people apparel usually and if it fits them good then they would look younger too, hydrated skin makes people look younger.

If you're like me you look like someone else completely. Haha. It's a good thing I'm one of those rare girls with short hair, so atleast everyone could recognize me by that.

100lbs ago people thought I was pushing late 30s, never got ID'd anywhere. Now I get ID'd, and told I don't look a day older then 18! I just turned 30!
