Nestof3 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Love, love your hair! What beautiful texture and color. This is a picture that my daughter took of me last fall. I look pretty much the same now, except with shorter hair. [ATTACH]3439[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runamuk Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 My avatar is me. Don't I look delicious? :D I'm usually the one holding the camera, so there aren't many pictures of me floating around. This one was taken in August of this year. That's my husband with the cheesy smile.

Meriwether Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 If this works, this is a picture of my family from two years ago. Since then I've lost weight and then had a baby (gained a bunch of weight) so this is almost exactly what I look like now. Hopefully, I'll be back to the "real me" soon.

StaceyinLA Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) well, actually, I don't know if it's just me, or my kids and me. That's sad. Anyway, this is my kids and me on Thanksgiving Day, '09. I haven't changed much (well, I probably have more gray, but I color it anyway!!) (Don't mind my hair in the pic anyway; the wind was blowing it in all directions!!) ETA: Sorry this came out so large - I reduced it WAY down, and thought it would help. Apparently not. ETA (again) that clearly my avatar is just me. ;-p Edited October 25, 2010 by StaceyinLA adding something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This is me. And one of my dogs, Ruby (who loves me very much). Disclaimer: This is me first thing in the a.m. without hair done and make up done. And the dog definitely needed some grooming herself. I chose this picture because this is me in the midst of a very tough year (emphasis on very tough). That morning I was just mulling over the day ahead and actually feeling quite down. Then the dog jumped into my lap with such love and it made me realize how much I have to be thankful for (in addition to the dog :) ) Maybe one day I'll post one with my eyes open. Dogs are awesome!! This is the most precious photo. They just know, don't they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara, you look just like I imagined you (and yes, that's a good thing:)) Tara' date=' you have my next haircut. I AM SO ENVIOUS!![/quote'] Thanks, y'all!

Pamela H in Texas Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Some of y'all are REALLY young looking, especially for the age of your children! For some of y'all my age and older, how are you keeping it from happening? I've noticed considerable aging in the last two years. Soon I'm going to look old enough to have a 15 and 18yr old (or maybe I already do....shhhh). I would like to put it off though. Any ideas?

Margo out of lurking Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 There were several comments here about my pic looking like Sarah Palin, which I hear often, even from strangers, when I pull my hair up. Although I've never heard the Amanda Peet or Susan St. James resemblance before, I can see it. Pamela, you asked how to stay young looking. I think it has a lot to do with genes. My parents have always looked terrific and young for their ages. I'm living proof that it has nothing to do with diet or exercise, haha. No one ever guesses me anywhere close to my age, which is 47.

I'm living proof that it has nothing to do with diet or exercise, haha. :iagree: I have been mistaken for a teen most of my adult life, although I've apparently made it up to mid 20's now. My gray is filling in like crazy though, so I won't be able to keep up that illusion much longer. But I have done nothing to keep looking young...in fact I've probably done much to make the opposite true. My grandmother looked younger than her age most of her life too, in spite of being a heavy smoker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) I think I have the gene part which will definitely help. I just can see around my eyes, especially with the weight loss. And people don't guess quite as young anymore. Which is good as I don't need to look like a teenager, by any stretch. I just noticed that my mom aged a good bit at two key periods (one being just under 30 and the other closer to 50) and would like to not do so too much (well, I can't do much about 30 since it passed years ago and what is done now is done, but you know what I mean). But my life has been WAY stressful from the moment we found out about the stupid layoff which has turned our lives upside down. And these health issues haven't helped, of course. But maybe now life will calm down for awhile. This job, though temporary, is going well for hubby so we're staying put. The people here are nice. This doctor is a miracle worker! I've decided to take an extra term so I don't stress about getting the rest of my degree. So maybe I'll quit aging for awhile :) Edited October 25, 2010 by 2J5M9K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetobehome Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 When I was in school, everyone always thought I was MUCH younger, and it was raelly embarrassing for me. People always told me I would appreciate it when I got older, and they were right! So now I look really young, people think I am a teenage mom, except my oldest is almost 11. :-) I think it is all genetic, as I live with plenty of stress. So, I guess I am just now finally getting to appreciate looking young. My kids now get the same treatment I got when I was young....my almost 11 year old looks about 8, my 8 year old is often asked if she is in K or 1st grade. Oh well! I guess they'll appreciate it one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It was funny one day. There was a knock on the door. It was one of Jehovah's Witnesses. My ds was just a tiny tyke at the time, like 18months and came to the door with me. The woman asked for my mom. I told her I was a mom and she couldn't hide her surprise and mentioned how young I looked. Then my daughter, who was 4, I guess, came over to see who mama was talking to. I was sure the woman would fall over! "She's yours too?" "Yes ma'am" :) So hubby, being the silly guy he is came up behind me, put his arm around my shoulders and said, "hey mama..." We all laughed. (Note: I surprised her even more when she came back six months later and I had 3 more littles!) I was a real baby face. I think I did gain some age with gaining the weight. I wonder if I will lose or gain years by losing weight. Guess I'll have to keep losing to find out :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Not the best photo of me, obviously I need lipstick:) But I wanted to post one that shows my old grey hair because I need input on whether to let it grow out or color it.

sarawatsonim Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I have always looked extremely young and it was the bane of my youth. When I was 25 and pregnant with my first dd people would constantly walk by and shake their heads sometimes muttering what a shame because they thought I was a pregnant teenager:glare:. It was so frustrating I thought of getting a t-shirt made stating that I was in fact 25, married and old enough to be a parent. It's definitely genes because I look like my mother and she went through the exact same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
