when was your peak, looks-wise?

    Well, I'm only 22 but I think I hit my peak recently, right before I got pregnant. After I got married I lose quite a bit of weight (I got down to a size 2) and I was at my peak up to that point.

    Since then I've obviously gained pregnancy weight, and my skin isn't as clear. Since I doubt I'll ever look as good as I did pre-pregnancy, I'm going with the first half of my 21st year.

    @Mrs. Cowgirl: and have you heard the analogy that men are like fine wine? They get better with age! Ughhh...

    I think my peak was around 25-26, right before I got married! I was happy, healthy, and was starting to get a good sense of who I am.

    happy birthday mrs. cowgirl!

    i'm 36. i'm feeling pretty good right now, although i haven't had the baby yet and that will probably throw things into a tailspin.

    *sigh* My peak was 24, when I was thin and hot, but that only lasted a year/year and a half, haha. And then another smaller peak at our wedding and the few months immediately after, when I was temporarily skinny. Sad how it's always based on my weight!

    Happy Birthday to you! I'm a fellow Scorpio - my birthday is on Friday. I think my peak was probably 28/29. When I turned 30 I feel like little age spots started showing up on my face and I was like - oh man, I'm not in my carefree 20s anymore. I need to take care of my skin!

    I'll be 34 on Friday - and this morning when I looked in the mirror I thought, Damn - I look good Maybe I'm headed towards another peak

    i think my peak was right before i got pregs. i finally managed to get my weight and eating habits in line, and i was doing pilates pretty regularly which helped tone my midsection, which is always the area i am most self-conscious about. i also figured out my makeup and hair. plus, it helped a lot that i was just more comfortable in my own skin, which just came with age.

    24-25. I lost 30 lbs, was a size 2, and was just happy with myself overall. Then I got married and went up to a size 6, which was ok, but now I just feel so terrible about myself at 29 and after baby. I think I can get back there though. Just need some time.

    I am with @mrstricycle - I don't think I have reached my peak yet. I am 31, but was very awkward in high school and have just in the past few years started eating healthy and taking care of myself. Plus nobody ever told me I should be plucking my eyebrows until college, they were horrible!

    I am definitely in the best shape of my life, and hope to get back to it post-baby!

    I was a late bloomer. Although I like to think the best is yet to come (I'm 30), so far my peak was 26/27. I was at my thinnest but more importantly very happy.

    I don't think I've hit it yet. I was really slender and pretty in high school, but totally lacked self confidence or a sense of who I was. Then I put on a bunch of weight. Then I lost a lot of it, and gained a great sense of self esteem and self worth. But I've still got 20 or 30 pounds to lose. I think when I get close to that in a few years, I'll be really smoking.
