I weigh 130 (I'm 5'6), but I have a very large bust so people always guess my weight as much, much lower than it actually is. When I was 115 when I was younger everyone thought that I was sick. Different frames carry weight very differently. Don't worry about the wrinkles, I'm sure you will look great!

I notice with me though, as I'm shedding the final 25 pounds that my face is starting to resemble that of a concentration camp survivor, while my belly is yelling, "hey...wait for me!" I have a granddaughter that occasionally gets on Grandpa's lap to play flip the turkey neck back and forth. It's fun for her, not so much for Grandpa. Once I've established goal weight for at least six months to a year, if it still bugs me, I may opt for something called direct submentoplasty for the neck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690442668699466427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-3096210231604833332013-07-09T12:13:48.793-07:002013-07-09T12:13:48.793-07:00Congrats on people noticing your loss!

It's just part of getting older.

That is motivation for me to get to a healthy weight and stay there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-84465548672694219152013-07-09T05:28:57.814-07:002013-07-09T05:28:57.814-07:00Hi Betty!

You have a rather full face, as I do, which protects us quite a bit from "total" wrinkles. Don't be overly concerned. <br /><br />:-) Marion<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-10099083960913045762013-07-08T23:11:35.471-07:002013-07-08T23:11:35.471-07:00I hate this aging thing!!

I don't want to get too wrinkled, so if I can lose the weight and get healthy without being too thin I will probably stop there. Here I am worried about stopping and I'm not there yet!! <br /><br />My husband is five years younger than I am. Everyone always thinks he is older than me so I would really like it to stay that way!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149186891188677587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-8754914560678372292013-07-08T22:58:26.513-07:002013-07-08T22:58:26.513-07:00Congrats on people noticing!

...Congrats on people noticing! That's awesome!<br /><br />Yes, at almost 62, this weight loss, I'm getting wrinkles I've never had before. Well, at my neck. Not awful, but noticeable. And sadly, my forearms (sun side) now look a little puckered like oranges. I did not have either of these at 58 when I lost more weight than this.<br /><br />My BMI is 26.6...so we are close. I still want to lose 10-20 more lbs. But despite the wrinkles now, that will not stop me. My health and especially heart health are far, far more important to me than superficial wrinkles. Sure, I wish they weren't there, but they are living proof that I'm getting healthier, still not there, and that's what I choose to focus on. We each have to figure out what our own priorities are for ourselves. :)Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-63928802417509591692013-07-08T22:41:20.526-07:002013-07-08T22:41:20.526-07:00Thanks Launa! 15 pounds is great!
