Anyone else stopping due to how aging losing weight is?!

[Hedgehogtimeagain]

I just wanted to see where everyone is drawing a line on taking wli (unless maintaining) as I have recently stopped after losing 2 stone.

I originally stopped in October last year at a bmi of 24.5 but then restarted in March as I had put on 2kgs, I feel in hindsight this was irrational.

I am now at a bmi of 24 and stopped a month ago as I felt it was really starting to age me. I’m now happy being between 24-25.5 and a size 12.

All the collagen in the world won’t prevent the loss of volume in the face that is associated with wli, and I look at photos 3 years ago and think how much better I looked with more padding in the face.

I just wondered how people are balancing losing weight and being at a lower bmi against the effect that it has on how you look? It’s been quite alarming in my case, and I don’t want to go down the route of fillers/ Botox but it’s that age old thing of solving one problem but creating another!

@CatFinderGeneral miow from you then, what's up can't you get any jeans to fit,? bet she looked fab in her tight jeans lol, and if she was miserable it likely had nowt to do with her beingvthin😁

Wow. You really aren’t very nice. Boring jeans? Boring jacket? So her clothes were not to your liking and you mentally slagged her off?

Goodness, jealousy only hurts you. It reads like you saw a slim women in tight jeans and sat staring and being obsessive about her. Honestly I’d recommend focus on getting yourself into a good place about your own appearance and weight, and you won’t feel so jealous about other women. Good luck,

The health benefits of losing multiple stones in weight outweigh the negatives of wrinkles.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

@Locutus2000 I agree, but the same health benefits are achieved at a BMI of 21, for example, you don’t need to be a BMI of 18 to be healthy.

As I said upthread, I’m in my 50’s and my peers who are really thin look more lined than someone who is 7-10lbs heavier, well within a healthy BMI range.

Obviously it’s personal choice and if someone doesn’t mind the lines, that’s up to them.
