    I've gone back down to 16 years old...:ohwell: I'll be 30 in Feb.
    My weight loss and braces has caused this.

    Most people think I look younger even heavy. There was a period when my oxygen was low and I ended up looking very tired and my age. Now that I'm on oxygen I look younger again. With the 40lbs lost I look even younger. Not sure what will happen when I get to goal.

    No one has said anything about my age but personally I think I look younger now then when I was overweight (I hardly recognised myself when I was fat). Now that I have lost the weight I look back at photo's that are 10 years old and I look like that girl again!!! :smile:

    People have always commented on my daughter's resemblance to me, but now that I have lost a lot of weight and we are much closer in size. I have people all the time asking if we are sisters. I swear. I have always been told that I look younger than my age. But to be told I look a lot like my kid is fabulous.

    Most people think I look younger even when I am overweight. I think it varies case by case.

    Hard to tell.. but I know that I am more wrinkly now I don't have that extra fat to plump up my face!
    And my ears stick out and my chin is strange and pointy.
    Can you tell that I'm not quite used to my new face?

    Judging by your pic, I think you look lovely. I would diiiieeee for a pointy chin by the way! Congratulations :tongue:

    Well thank you, that just made my day :)

    @cris - Wow - You DEFINATELY look younger since you lost the weight! and Hotter might I hasted to add....
    Based purely on those pics I would have said you were 29 / 30yrs .

    Me - well, based on my height and my looks, I always get mistaken for being at least 10 years younger. Although I don't want to look any older, I would prefer to look a litter NEARER to my ACTUAL age.

    Just out of curiosity - How old would you say I am?

    Haha! I'm 24 and have braces. My personal trainer was shocked to hear I was old enough to have a full time job!

    Being short means I am often thought to be younger than I am.

    I still sometimes get asked for ID if I am buying alcohol with my shopping [I'm 31]. I got asked for ID when I was 20lbs heavier as well !!

    I have recently stopped smoking so I am hope this helps kepe me looking younger LOL!

    When I was underweight people often thought that I was older than my real age, even though I was never make-up heavy. Now that I'm... err.. chubbier, I'm often mistaken for a student and I'll be 30 in October. I think it's not just about the weight, it's also about the BMI. I tend to think that when you're in a healthy BMI range, you'll look healthier :)

    I think it depends on the amount of extra weight you're carrying. For people who are obese/morbidly obese, they usually look much older than they actually are to me (I know I did).

    My nose has shrunk with weight loss.
    I don't know if that makes me look any different in age,
    but it makes me like my face better. [:

    OMG I hope my nose gets smaller too. I didn't even think of that possibility! =D

    <
    jumps on treadmill and will not get off until nose is smaller!!


    :laugh:

    I am fifty, so it may be different with older ladies. I lost down to about 135 or so and my skin was a bit saggy. LOTS of creams and slugging down water snapped it back. I have been told I look younger, but I attribute it to caring more about my looks. I WANT to wear makeup, fix my hair, take my vitamins...........drink my water! OMG that is so important to hydrating your skin too!

    So for me, the health and attitude makes us look younger.


    <
    still on treadmill, nose still big:grumble:

    People always thought I was younger than I am. Yay for sunscreen and never smoking! :drinker:

    But losing weight, exercising, eating better and drinking 12-16 glasses of water a day has given me an even more youthful glow. :blushing:

    Generally speaking, people look younger when they're fitter and leaner. Except for the two periods of my life when I carried extra weight, people have always guessed me to be younger than my age.

    I've been guessed a couple of years older than my real age! I'm 28 and twice people have guessed me as 32! Apparently a lot of people who have noticed my weight loss had also noticed how much darker eyes bags are and I look more fatigue.

    However, good news is that everyone has said I'm getting prettier! At least that makes up for it. I think...

    For me losing weight has definitely made me look younger. 3 years ago someone guessed my age at 32!!! :sad: I was horrified, these days after 60 lbs lost people are always surprised when I tell them I just turned 30. A lot of people guess my age around 25. :happy:

    i have been using a cream with vitamin E oil in it. I read when you put a water based product on the under eye area the skin is so thin it absorbs it. I have seen a dramatic difference since I have been doing this.

    BTW you ARE beautiful!!
