Do you look better now than you did 10 years ago?

I don't. 10 years ago was before I had kids, so I worked out 4-5 times a week, dressed for work and had my hair color weaved and trimmed every 8 weeks.

But since becoming a SAHM, those luxuries are last on the list. I think that needs to change. At 35, I think I looked better than I probably did at 25 because I had more confidence and a few more pennies to rub together to spend on services, clothes and quality makeup/hair care.

So how do you rate?

I'm in the best shape now than I have been (since high school probably). I'm at my lowest weight since being with my hubby and my body is so toned.

No! Before I had kids, I was in awesome shape. I was in the gym 3-4 days days a week but I was hiking, skiing and biking in the evening/weekend. I also spent more money on my hair and clothing for the office. Oh well. I hope to have more time for fitness when they are older and not attached to my hip. I can handle be a little more fluffy for now.

Yes, However, I looked my best about 8 years ago. I am working hard to get back to somewhere near that.

No...I was much skinnier, actually put on makeup every day and even went to the gym...HOWEVER...I have WAY more confidence now than I did then.

Yes, definately. I'm a size to a size and a half smaller, I finally have glasses & hair style that suit me, I've finally figured out the clothing cuts that look best on me. I look back at photos from when I was 34 to now & just shake my head..

Ten years ago I was newly married....and had different priorities. I was always physically fit, but I didn't reach my peak until 8 years ago. I had a 4 pack of abs...my first time ever. Shortly after acquiring them with hard work, I had two babies back to back. I'd love to have those abs back, but I simply don't have the time it takes to commit to it. So I do what I can, and always stay away that as I age, the process gets harder, so I put in as much time as I can in the gym when I can. I also watch my diet. It's just harder to do but my commitment is the same!

No! I was way hotter 10 years ago. I gained a ton of weight with my pregnancies. I got well over 200 with my ds and dd. Now I'm about 179 which is still high for me. I'm only 5'7. I was 145 10 years ago and that weight fit me perfectly. I don't know if I can ever get to that weight again but I do plan to get it down more. Also, my old party lifestyle and children have aged my looks.

I look almost the same. Ten years ago I was 27 and had not had any kids yet. I was very fit, worked out with a trainer, and lived a very active lifestyle. Then I had 2 kids and spent about 6 years anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds heavier and barely exercised so I wasn't toned at all. Finally about a year and a half ago I buckled down and started working on it again and I am happy to say that I am back to the same weight I was 10 years ago. My boobs look better now! But my skin is starting to show signs of aging now, and I have to dye my hair to cover the grey.

No, back then I was thinner had no dry skin on my face wore makeup more often and dressed much nicer! Of course like the rest of you I worked and had more time to take care of me! It seems every time I get started on a gym routine something comes up to keep it up! I have to admit I am a little down today on my youngest son birthday that I thought for sure I would be in better shape by the time he was 2 but he is 4 and while I have lost much of the baby weight I still have 15-20 to go
