[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the title says, I am 49 and I just lost 50 pounds. My BMI is 23.8, so not skinny by any means but my 3 colleagues who are also very good friends had a serious chat with me to tell me that I had lost my looks, that I look like an ethiopian refugee/nazi war cprisoner. I know they care about me and are telling me what most wouldn't. I had initially shared my plan to lose a further 10 pounds just to be in the comfortable BMI zone and they strongly advised against it because my face is looking terrible. Before losing the weright they'd tell me how young I looked and how beautiful my skin was with no wrinkles or lines. Now, while they say I still don't have lines or wrinkles my face looks really unhealthy - like I need to eat :-). 
I really want to maintain my healthy weight but I also worry about the points they raise. My husband has not said anything but he prefers slim so I guess he's happy/hasn;t noticed my face.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Did you just accept that as older women we sacrifice eitither our faces or our butts? I feel quite bad about these comments.[/quote]
