    People used to guess my age four or five years young. Nobody has guessed my age in several years though, and in that time, I’ve gained a few gray beard hairs. So I don’t know anymore. I would probably look much younger than I am if I didn’t have a beard.

    I think people tend to do that out of politeness, knock a few years off their original guess for some reason.

    I think I look my age most times, but I know I certainly don't act it and I have a bit of a child-like voice so I usually get anywhere from 17-23 and I get told that I have a baby face all the time.

    I am actually 27, turning 28 this year.

    People who see me sans kids usually ask me if I'm "still in college." With kids, they think my toddler is "normal" but think I must have had kids early with my 5-y-o. When I tell them my oldest is 12, they aren't even shocked. Just confused. They think I made a mistake somewhere. Noooooo, I was 23 when he was born, and YES, he's "mine."

    I definitely look younger, especially my body. Most people think I'm in my thirties. Probably as I continue to get older, there will be more disparity between my appearance and that of my peers. A lot of people my age have already begun to let themselves go (so to speak) and it's harder to bounce back to a more youthful and fit appearance the longer you wait to get healthy. It's never too late to get fit, but it becomes more of a challenge (IMO) the older you get.

    Some advice for the young people out there: get yourself where you want to be and then maintain it NOW, while you're still young. Many of the people I see my age and older end up looking saggy, haggard and old when they drop weight. Stuff just doesn't "bounce back" like it does when you're young. If you age at your goal weight, that doesn't seem to happen as much. But don't worry too much about looks. It's more important to FEEL good and be healthy.

    To me, it's more important to look and FEEL healthy and fit than it is to look young anyway. I've never really had a problem with getting older, as long as I can stay happy, healthy and active! I'd rather look my age, but look awesome for that age, than look younger and just be kinda blah. :)

    Notice the theme here? Everyone's told they look younger. Hmmmm....

    My guess would be that only people that have that experience want to reply. It's like that with forum posts on the internet. The title attracts confirmation replies.

    I'm 21 but people are usually shocked when I say this. People tend to think I'm around 17-18.

    However, when I was in high school and I weighed about 25-30 pounds more than I do now people thought I was older than I actually was. hmm
