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.

Evieanne · 11/09/2023 22:23

I’m in my early 20s, I’d say you’re late 30/40 odd

Doggymummar · 11/09/2023 22:24

28

MmmALovelyBitOfSquirrel · 11/09/2023 22:24

I've just seen you've revealed your age but for your research, I was going to say early 30s. I'm 36 and thought you look a few years younger than me.

  1. Sorry I've been playing darts.

Impossible to tell how old you are

Hotfeetcoldfeet · 11/09/2023 22:25

28…. you look lovely!!

betterbeamirrorball · 11/09/2023 22:27
  1. You're v pretty x
Luciferspickles · 11/09/2023 22:27

I think 28 to 32. You have beautiful skin.

Middleagedmeangirls · 11/09/2023 22:27

I guessed 36 so I wasn't far off.

Well done on your weight loss journey so far. You must be thrilled.

Take some of the advice you have been given on here - always wear SPF 50. It will do more than anything else to keep your skin looking good. Also, if you smoke - stop! I noticed a slightly grey tinge to your skin which might be the lighting or could be smoke damage.

Eat as much fresh fruit, veg and water as you can manage. Your gut will function better, your energy levels will soar and your skin will glow.

You are naturally very pretty and every step you take towards a healthier lifestyle and body is going to make you even better looking.

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.

You don’t look it. I had wayyy more wrinkles by then (39 next month & i’d say i look more than 5 years older than you!) good luck with the diet

Wow, I was going to go much younger than that, around 24.

Ramalangadingdong · 11/09/2023 22:35

You don’t look old. Toe you could be 28. The oldest I would put you is 32.

IncognitoMam · 11/09/2023 22:36

There's some weird guesses here or just trying to wind OP up.

I'd have said late 20s so you definitely look younger.

Summerbay23 · 11/09/2023 22:36

I also think young. 25/26?

Xmasbaby11 · 11/09/2023 22:37

Mid twenties I'd say.

susan123graeme · 11/09/2023 22:38

24-25 your skin looks very young

Xmasbaby11 · 11/09/2023 22:42

Just read your updates! Oh yes, you definitely look young! I also looked young until my mid/late thirties, also obese, sadly am 47 now and probably look it.

So enjoy it! I still have good skin just lost that sort of glow and smoothness of youth. It was nice looking young and I always appreciated it.

RoseMarigoldViolet · 11/09/2023 22:42

30

Luckyduc · 11/09/2023 22:43

You're not any older than 35 cause you've got no lines near you eyes but I'd guess between 25 and 29.. somewhere within that.

I think people have been way too kind here, but I took the first 100 guesses (that were an actual number and not mid-late answers) and got an average of 30 years old. I think my experiment may have been silly as thinking of it now, on the programme 10 years younger they judge the person in-person. I do think your guesses would be higher if you saw me in person. However, I’ll use the 30 on here with a photo and then see what average I get on here with a photo in a year’s time 😂

I’m worried about the privacy comment @GrazingSheep sorry if I’m being really dumb, but how do you mean?
