Late 20s.

Lllot5 · 02/08/2019 19:18

Still waiting.

Mumof1andacat · 02/08/2019 19:19

23 - 28. Had lost weight, little bit of money and a social life

Star801 · 02/08/2019 19:20

I think 22- 25 for me.

Sarahlou63 · 02/08/2019 19:21

40/41 (in a wildly sexual relationship) and then again around 46 (my thinest ever although others thought I was too thin).

Winterlife · 02/08/2019 19:24

Early to mid thirties.

Montsti · 02/08/2019 19:26

Probably late twenties/early thirties...

Gingermuffin · 02/08/2019 19:26

Looking at photographs probably between 19-25 but I didn’t feel good about myself then. I’m mid 30s now and I feel happy in my own skin and actually really like the way I look, my flaws are part of what makes my face mine and I have found a style that suits me as I am rather than trying to change myself to suit the style.

joystir59 · 02/08/2019 19:33

Now. 61. Slim, fit, not bad looking.

BillyAndTheSillies · 02/08/2019 19:34

25/26 had been dieting for my wedding, had lost 5 stone and was toned to within an inch of my life.

Amazing hair extensions and generally had the time, energy and pride to look after myself.

Pictures of me in bikinis and I look like a different person. I'm 31 now, pregnant with DS2 and ready to be that person again.

origamiunicorn · 02/08/2019 19:36

Probably about 21 - 23 (although I didn't think do at the time) then I slowly put on loads of weight and between about 25 and 29 was at my heaviest and I felt my worst. Now though, I feel I've grown more into my face if that makes sense (mid 30s) and have more idea what styles I like and what suits me. I've also got into fitness and healthy eating so even though I don't look like I did at 23, I feel more confident.

mummyrocks1 · 02/08/2019 19:37

Before I got married so 29. It's funny though as at 38 I think I look my best in some ways, my skin is better, spots gone, hair highlighted which suits me and toned from going to the gym. But then at 17 I had a better figure and face but bad hair and spots.

kerkyra · 02/08/2019 19:45

Early to mid thirties.
But feel my best now,late forties

InsertFunnyUsername · 02/08/2019 19:46

26 (so now) i

I felt good at 19/20 but can see i was very thin. Now im toned with a set of boobs - still small mind 😂 and a butt from the squats.

I also felt amazing during pregnancy 2 years ago.

Im hoping when im mid 30s i will think i look amazing then too 😂

Goawayquickly · 02/08/2019 19:47

40, I felt I hit my absolute prime and felt very comfortable and confident in myself, looked shit by 44 and better again now at 50.

Probably looked better objectively in my younger days but lack of confidence meant that didn’t mean much.

WitsEnding · 02/08/2019 19:48

Early 30s. All stages have had their good points and a few pounds too many or too few make a big difference to me.

Loyaultemelie · 02/08/2019 19:49

25-27 just out of an abusive relationship and before pregnancy

kuch · 02/08/2019 19:50

20 x

Pantolilies · 02/08/2019 19:50

Always apart from pregnancies. I look dreadful during pregnancies and immediately after.

OccasionalNachos · 02/08/2019 19:50

About 19, and then again at 32.

InTheWalls · 02/08/2019 19:52

Mid twenties to 30ish. Good figure, glowing skin, great hair. It's only a few years ago but I can really see the difference now.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 02/08/2019 19:52

Mid twenties. Bagged gorgeous DH, the love of my life, and was generally beating off men with a stick; constantly asked out on the train, on the underground, at work and hit on in clubs if DH went to the bar for a minute.

It’s been all downhill from there Grin

BillywigSting · 02/08/2019 19:53

Between about 3 and 5.

I was a beautiful child and have been quite plain (though not exactly ugly) ever since

ahhgowan · 02/08/2019 19:53

21 definitely. It's been all downhill since then for my looks 🤷🏻‍♀️

FizzBuzzBangWoof · 02/08/2019 19:55

Late thirties for me I reckon

I'm now mid 40s
