Recently i had someone trying to insist i was about 15 years younger than i am ... and i know part of this is all the weight in my face can be deceptive age wise. Just wondering if others have noticed their faces aging as they lost weight?

Curiousity only ... losing this weight is the important thing

I’m 50, I think I look my age. I get comments that I look older and younger. I have no idea what my age looks like to other people. One strange thing is my body looks younger (with spanx lol)
here is an old thread Face to face Friday. Face before and after’s

five years out and maintaining in the 130s

Omg!!!! Wow!!! [emoji119][emoji119][emoji119][emoji119][emoji119][emoji119] You don't look your age AT ALL!!! I'll peg mid 30s!!!

I look younger than before. The excess weight really aged me

Definitely younger!!! [emoji108][emoji108]

Okay, I put it in the face thread, but I’ll put it in here, too. The weight loss has left me with an older looking neck. It will probably tighten up some, but it’s definitely having an impact on how old I look. HOWEVER, even if I looked younger before, I think I look BETTER now.

It’s strange to look back at old photos, right. You are young, healthy and happy. Look at that smile! Its all worth it.

@Healthy_life2 Thank you!!! I do smile alot now. I'll be 45 in October so I'll take getting called young any day of the week! What's important is feeling way younger than I am. [emoji6]

I sent a selfie I took a few days ago to a friend from college that I haven’t seen in 20+ years. (I will be seeing her in person this weekend and wanted to make sure she would recognize me.) She says I still look the same and so didn’t need to see a current pic. That made me feel wonderful. I was slim in college and am a little lighter now. Life is good!

Well long narrow neck , remind myself of a Galopagos Tortoise/turtle, you can now see my collarbones, the startings of first 2 ribs, doctors would have no problem doing carotid Doppler , nothing in the way, people do tell me I look good, the few who still recognize me. I can't shake the fear I look like " failure to thrive" but perhaps this is what people ARE SUPPOSED to look like? Remember I spent the bulk of my Adult Life looking like Bip The Michelin-Man' s Sweet Sister, all bulges and chipmunk cheeks,cuddly like a fluffy stuffed toy Teddy- Bear. Now I fear l look like I moved to Emaciation Heights. The high cheekbones of Daddy's side show now, I have maintained for years there is Native American/ First Nations blood, depending which side of the 55th parallel you're on. Yeah the only visible legacy this strawberry blond, fair skinned critter has. Yeah the Celtic shading from Mama's side but the high cheekbones which I had NO Clue were THERE, remember even as a baby sheep this lamb always looked fluffy never sleek. But every Day I weigh less, look like Dead Ancestors I never considered resembling but as I reassemble into a New Me, I have keep hanging on until the Final Countdown! Now 187.8 pounds so approaching 1/2 the size I was when I started on the WL trek in earnest October 2017, although I had really started my search 4 years ago almost to the exact date. And I still haven't had that dang- blasted August appointment, OSU Bariatrics is going to be shocked, I was still 235- 240 in April when my last appointment was. If they become shocked,let them be, I have felt abandoned, like if I don't require more surgical intervention--- I Am BORING! The animals at the Columbus zoo at least gave me eye-to-eye contact, not the emotional neglect I have felt. If I don't simmer down before the 14th, somebody gonna get a piece of my mind, and yes, I have enough mind to whack off a chunk and hurl it at their unexpecting noggin!
You see I do not suffer fools gladly, and I do not tolerate being ignored anymore, this Doormat will never have mud rubbed into ME once again, as my Soul Sister Reba McENTIRE has stated I'M NOT GOING OUT LIKE THAT! Thanks for stating it in a song.So yes, although I still don't look my age, with the wrinkling I'm starting to look a little closer to True.
