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.

No wrinkles so im going early to mid twenties. I guess 24?

CutiePatooties · 11/09/2023 21:47

I’m 34 next month.

Thank you so much for your guesses, I can work out an average and then come back in a year 😂

For those asking, I’m following the keto diet. I found I couldn’t stick to any diet AT ALL and worked out reasons why: when I’m hungry I want food instantly, when I eat carbs and sugar I end up craving and eating more carbs and sugar and I just don’t know what healthy alternatives I can eat for the things I do crave.

So I ordered a week’s worth of meals from keto kitchen Lytham. I’m on my third week of that this week, but now think I have the tools to fly solo with it. It is a fab diet though! I have a blueberry muffin and a coffee some mornings which doesn’t make it feel like a diet at all. Plus they sell cakes that are extremely low carb.

Good luck with it all OP. If this is your starting point you're already in a good place.

<shuffles off in horror at the realisation you are actually only 7 years younger than me and wishes hadn't just eaten that kit kat...>

Be aware that losing a lot of weight can make you look older.
My sister used the terrible line when in in her 30s, 'You have to choose figure or face'.

I was anorexic in my 40s, fb is charmingly showing me the photos in 'memories' and whilst most of me is going 'gosh, I look better now, more energy blah blah' the insidious little bastard part of me that is still anorexic is going ' you looked really good then. Look at your cheekbones. Etc'. I didn't. I looked like a skull on a clothes airer, and people asked me if I was seriously ill.

Sorry, that suddenly turned all about me, but I'll leave it as a 'bloody well done, but don't get carried away' bit of advice!

Signed, c (age fiftytwelvetyeleven)

Not sure if you have answered yet but 28.

Beautiful3 · 11/09/2023 21:52

CutiePatooties · 11/09/2023 21:52

@SouthernFashionista I actually told you what I wanted from this in the OP. You don’t have to look or comment and no it might not be me, but then my birth name might not actually be cutiepatooties either.

Doesn't really matter what age you are, you have been blessed with great eyes, a fab nose and lips, you clearly have amazing cheek bones too. Doesn't matter if you are 23 or 53 those things are going to stay with you.

I've seen your answer but was going to guess late 20s.

You've got a very pretty face, really nice features.

Hope the keto keeps going well.

OnlyFannys · 11/09/2023 21:58

Op you look great for your age, I was going to guess 25 but you are in your 30s! You don't have any lines on your forehead or under your eyes (I'm 36 and look ok for my age but under my eyes totally gives me away) so whatever you are doing is clearly working

Mid forties at least.
These posts are a nonsense. What do these posters want from them? I’m never sure that it is even a picture of the OP. Anyone could nab a photo of anyone else and post it. Ludicrous.

@SouthernFashionista I recognise your username. What do you get out of making comments like this? It's not the first thread where I've seen you do it.

Woodenwonder · 11/09/2023 22:00

I would have gone around 26/27 so I think you look great and well done on your progress so far

queentim · 11/09/2023 22:00

You look young

25 to late 20s maybe?
