There are two sides on this subject. I have two friend who think different about my 54 pound loss so far. One states I need to stop because it making me look old. The other states krep it up your looking great! I am 54 years old and have never felt better in my life. In 26 lbs I will be at my high school weight . That is my new goal !!

    Stop when you're happy. Sounds like friend A is just being jealous anyways.

    Why not both?

    I think I look older after my weight loss - there's nothing there to puff out the wrinkles. That is my honest assessment. That said, I think I look good (great might be a stretch) and feel better than I have in a long time.

    It'll take a little time for people who are used to you looking a certain way to adjust and a full face sometimes looks younger to some people but that doesn't mean you really look old, you probably look different. Give them time to adjust and do what you want. Congratulations getting the excess weight off and feeling better! Good going!

    If you feel healthy that should be the important thing

    If you're feeling healthy and satisfied, keep up with your plan.

    Keep going.

    Your face will eventually catch up with you to a certain degree.
    When I first lost my weight it would have been kind if you had said I looked haggard. However after 6-9 months my face adjusted and it now looks a lot better.
    Do I miss a more fuller face? Yes. Would I like to go back to my fifty, fat and frumpy unfit body? No way.

    Cheers, h.
