I really must do something about weight. I am 67 and a bit on

But in one picture TImothy Spall is smiling and in the other he isn't. He should be smiling in both or looking miserable in both, otherwise you cannot make a fair comparison.

I think Celine Dion looks gaunt. It is not a good look, unfortunately. I cannot get used to the slim Timothy Spall either.

We all know it is not good to be overweight but losing weight has aged Tomothy Spall terribly and it makes him look less attractive, ironically.

What are fillers? How much do they cost? Who does them. Just curious really but you never know. I might loose weight! If I’m honest it’s unlikely

Elvive Tue 11-Jun-19 17:33:16

Alima, I'm sure you are not an ugly old hag.

blondenana Tue 11-Jun-19 17:18:10

Moo i have had fillers too, they just fill my face out without looking like 2 triangles stuck in my cheeks, very natural , and look loads better, no bruising here though
They say if you lose fat in your face and even put weight on it never goes back on your face
As for Celine Dionne, she was never a looker, but she does look terrible now, definitely not sexy

Looking at the two pictures, I would say somewhere in between, Gonegirl

Callistemon Tue 11-Jun-19 14:46:27

It is a very long time since he was diagnosed and had successful treatment, Alima.
I do worry that you can be too thin - if you do become ill there is no weight at all to lose.

I saw a picture of Celine Dion, Jane10 and thought that she looked terrible - either very ill or anorexic.

Alima Tue 11-Jun-19 14:44:15

Relieved that Timothy Spall has simply lost weight, presumably dieted. I thought he was ill, didn’t he have leukaemia a few years ago? Sadly the reverse isn’t always the answer. I have gained weight recently due to meds. Still look an ugly old hag even with a fat face. There’s no justice.....

EllanVannin Tue 11-Jun-19 14:17:42

I would use the word haggard, not slimmed down, and it's so ageing.
I like chubby cheeks not drawn-looking.

Davina looks awful. My daughter had the most beautiful face, very much like Nigella Lawson. She has lost tremendous amount of weight now ....does not suit her....she looks haggard , but who's to tell her? She wont listen to me.

Elvive Tue 11-Jun-19 13:25:03

Davina looks unwell, seriously . I love Timothy Spall, he can convey so much without words. However I think he looks unwell.

Gonegirl Tue 11-Jun-19 13:21:10

Davina McCall looks awful anyway. And she's paid too much.

Gonegirl Tue 11-Jun-19 13:20:18

?

Gonegirl Tue 11-Jun-19 13:19:47

Which looks healthier\/

Gonegirl Tue 11-Jun-19 13:15:16

I think Timothy Spall looks better. More distinguished. Must be healthier too. That's the most important thing.

jura2 Tue 11-Jun-19 13:11:21

Chubby ... no wrinkles smile

GrannyIris5 Tue 11-Jun-19 12:28:01

Agree about Timothy Spall, he looks awful poor man. Was shocked when I saw him on tv couple of weeks ago.

Happiyogi Tue 11-Jun-19 10:26:54

Widen...or wizen.

Jane43 Tue 11-Jun-19 10:10:09

I saw a picture of Celina Dion, she is not ill but has deliberately lost weight. She thinks she looks sexy.

I think it's gravity, Luckygirl - I know the feeling!

Callistemon Tue 11-Jun-19 09:40:51

I know what you mean - what my mum used to say "when you get older, it's either your face or your figure".

Is there a happy medium, MooMOO?
I'm aiming for that (and hoping not to get what my mum called 'a scrawny neck' as well).

I do hope that Timothy Spall is well and that his weight loss is deliberate.

Teetime Tue 11-Jun-19 09:37:05

The saying is 'your face or your figure after 40', isn't it?
I try and steer a fine line between looking gaunt and ill or chubby and featureless... either way its a pain.

Luckygirl Tue 11-Jun-19 09:31:40

I could do with half a stone coming off - but I know it would come off my face and leave my belly unscathed! grin

EllanVannin Tue 11-Jun-19 09:29:25

If anyone saw Davina McCall on the programme last night that was another " diet face " and she looks awful !! She looked sick too with her dragging skin.

harrigran Tue 11-Jun-19 09:24:11

To me diet face is what Timothy Spall has at present, he does not look well.
