Hey all,
I am 19 years old and up to about a year or so ago I kept getting told that I looked 21-23 and now I have lost 12ish kilos I am being told that I look 16-17...

I really love this as I hated looking older :)

    That works when you are young... Sadly I am 30 and my recent weight loss has exposed little lines and crows feet that my former chubby face had well-hidden, LOL

    I'm nearly 50, and I just got accused of "getting younger" by someone at my church.

    That made me lol

    I think people generally tend to look younger when they lose weight, everyone I know who had quite a bit of weight to lose has but I think it is mainly due to the bloating and when you lose weight you buy new clothes and I think make more of an effort with yourself which also helps. I'm 42 next year and I think I'm looking okish but at my heaviest I definitely looked older.

    Well done on your loss, you are doing great.

    When I changed my eating habits and the pounds starter coming off, I also started to take better care of my skin. I'm 43 and while I don't think I look much older than 45, it was high time to start doing something good for my skin and overall appearance aside from losing weight.

    I used to think "Don't need to do my nails because I'm fat anyway. Don't need to wear make up because I'm fat anyway." I realized that taking care of myself makes me feel good about myself. Now I do a daily regimen of apricot scrub, anti-aging foam cleanser, 2% retinol serum, firming night cream. I do my nails every day, give myself pedicures twice a week, my hair is shiny and soft. I look GREAT and getting greater with every pound that's gone!
