Guess my age

314 replies

You know 10 years younger? I’m thinking of doing that, but on here with the MNetters!!

I think I look much older than I am and the way people talk to me suggests I’m right. I am obese and don’t drink any water or look after my skin so I’ve joined the princessing thread and so far I’ve lost a stone in 2 weeks! (Should’ve posted this pic 2 weeks ago 😂)

Anyway, please guess my age and please be brutally honest and then I’ll come back on here in a year and go again to see if I’ve improved myself! Don’t guess lower to be kind, as it will ruin the results. I want to see if looking after myself shaves the years off or not.

Your skin looks lovely OP. I'd say 29/30

But honestly, I don't think you look bad. If I had skin and hair like you instead of mine, I'd be pleased, and if I'd just lost 2st I'd be ecstatic!

teaandtoast44 · 11/09/2023 21:35

I immediately thought 28 but I think it could be anywhere between 26-32.

Good luck with your weight less journey.

Oh and ignore the 'I don't understand why people post these threads' comments. She's obviously posting because she wants honest answers. Why are you bothering to reply if you find it so silly, that's the question...

CutiePatooties · 11/09/2023 21:36

HAHA!! I’m prepared. I don’t mind the odd insult.. in fact I’m welcoming people being brutally honest as it will help in the long run.

For people asking when I’ll reveal my age.. I’m just waiting until I’ve had 100 guesses (not 100 replies, as some replies don’t contain a guess) and then I’ll reveal. Anyone would think I started this thread a month ago 😂 have some patience, it hasn’t even been that long!

Thank you for the kind comments about looking young and having nice skin, although I’m wondering if I’ve tainted the results of this by not taking the pic in daylight. Think the lighting might possibly be helping me here but hey ho, I’ll just take the after pic in the same lighting 🤷‍♀️

For those asking, I lost lots of weight quickly as I’ve only just started the diet and I am obese so I have a hell of a lot to lose, so it will come off quicker at first. I’m doing the keto diet and loving it. It’s the only thing I’ve managed to stick to and actually enjoy, without feeling hungry all the time. I did get the ‘keto flu’ during week 1, but after pushing through that I feel better than ever and always feel full, I’m more energised, don’t sleep as much as I used to and I started getting regular chest pains but they’ve subsided now. I know that’s the most important thing and I shouldn’t worry about how I look, but I would like to make lots of changes with my appearance, as it’s not great currently and could be better.

Well done on the weight loss, 2 stone is fantastic. Good luck with the rest

I would say you look mid to late twenties.

cowgirl42 · 11/09/2023 21:36

28

SloraceHughorn · 11/09/2023 21:37

You look a bit younger than me (not quite as tired and haggard as I do 😅). So I'm going to say around 30.

Memz1212 · 11/09/2023 21:37

34-36

Starseeking · 11/09/2023 21:38

You seem young, so I expect it's just that you do look older than you are.

I'd guess you are 27, though if you said you were 35, I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

MyHornCanPierceTheSky · 11/09/2023 21:39

Twelvty?

Oysterbabe · 11/09/2023 21:39

I'm going 26.

Shinyandnew1 · 11/09/2023 21:39

30?

Wakintoblueskies · 11/09/2023 21:39

Early 30s. I think, if you are overweight (obese to use your own word), then wrinkles and lines don't show.

Well done on losing a stone in two weeks. That is amazing. Can you share what you are doing. I'd like to do the same!!!
