I saw it...

So I am 6 weeks post op and the scale has been at a stand still for the past 4 weeks. I lost 12lbs the first week but nothing since then...I been thinking to myself this is just another failed diet I'm not losing anymore....BUT tonight while out to dinner with my family my hubby took a pic of me with my daughter and I SAW IT! What is it you may ask? It was my face! It was thinner!

So even though the scale has not moved I have been losing something and that something was fat on my face WHOO HOOO!!!:smile2:

Don't you hate how our bodies have a way of pissing us off like that! You can diet for ages and not budge a pound on the scale, but then all of a sudden it happens! I'm sure you look great!

Congrats!!

Don't take the scale too serious. Our health matters a lot more. Then comes the way we feel about how we look; then how our clothes fit and then we can worry about the scale.

I am on a plateau weight-wise at the moment and know I need another fill...but the interesting thing is my shape has continued to change-thighs still getting thinner and my "overhang" is shrinking.

Yay Zeniada!

Isn't it funny how that happens? My husband made a similar statement to me yesterday. He said in the past week he has really noticed weight loss in my chest area (snort, of course that's what he's paying attention to!), and he's right. My v-neck shirts are so baggy now all of a sudden. But on the scale, I've been the same for a week. So I think our bodies are readjusting themselves even when we aren't dropping pounds.

congrats hun xxx :smile2:

Ha! My husband wants to weigh mine to make sure they don't get too small! After two breastfed kids the only things this puppies are gonna do is head south. Small boobs for one will be nice!

Isnt it such a fantastic feeling??? Enjoy it and take more photos!!

I know how you feel... I have only lost maybe 15-20 lbs since and I can not tell a difference but all my friends and family are startng to notice changes.. saying my neck and face is thinner and I did notice my hands are too since my rings are starting to get a little big. =)

Congrats on your NSV! Keep up the good work and the scale will eventually follow!
