Is anyone else looking older?
A lot of my skin has good "memory" , and I do not have much safgging skin. But in the last month I have been told I look 40, but I am only 29. I have lost 104 lbs so far, and had a very rapid trop in the last 5 weeks. Is this normal? I was to ld I have very goo elesticity, and I thought that I am missing something?
Hi Nicole:
I have a friend that has dropped dramatically and her face is sagging, which is making her look older. I am not having any sagging skin anywhere, but I use creams that help with that. On my face I use a high potency vitamin E creme (Queen Helene's at least 10,000 IUs) and on the rest of the body, I use Olay Quench lotion. I really notice a difference. I use both products daily.
I have also read that some people use skin firming lotion and that may help a bit.
Good luck!
Hi Nicole:
Oh my gosh I know how you feel. I am 32 and the bags under my eyes since my weight loss are making me very self concious. I am assuming it's because of my weight loss in my face. I am down 107 lbs and I feel great about that of course but hate this part of it. I have tried $50 Lancome cream and cheapie creams and nothing works...I guess to be thinner and healthier this is something I am going to have to deal with.
I think it is because every thing is going south! We or most of us probably had heavy faces and once losing the weight that it just sags because it is not heavy anymore. I am 48 and very very happy that my face has not suffer too bad. The rest of my body?? That is ANOTHER story.......I guess it is the price we pay to be slim. Do the Richard Simmons exercises on your face. Say...A..E...I..O..U and make sure you use your face musles when saying the letters and hopefully this in time will help you. I am sure a lot of us can not afford the cremes or the face lifts so sometimes we have to go to plan B for help. Good luck!

I feel like I've exchanged a walk-waddle for a neck waddle, lol!
I feel weird about my arms, inner thighs, et****ep telling myself that all can be fixed (and I'd love to do that as a graduation present to myself), but that's not for another 2-3 years; that's not such a bad thing either. I guess by then my body and weight will have settled...getting it done now would be a bit of a waste of time.
Maybe I should take a long soak in Preparation H
