I have a neck!!

I am 11 wks post-op and have lost 30 lbs. Yay!!!.......but hardly anyone has noticed! Tonight I got my shoulder length hair cut short and wow! I grew a neck! My face looks thinner, shoulders narrower, and neck so long. What a difference a haircut can make!

Isn't it fun! People will notice soon! Wait until you find your waist! Yay :)

love this feeling! i am waiting to get my hair cut until i reach my thanksgiving goal weight of 215. almost there! :)

I'm still waiting to "find" my neck, but it's one of the things that I'm looking forward to the most. I hate looking at the pictures of me or catching my reflection and seeing my massive double chin. Congrats on finding your neck!! Great job!!

Awww I remember that day as well! Awesome feeling! Congrats :)

I remember when I discovered my shin bones and my rib cage (that one still gets me). Crazy how the simplest things become so very important and special.

: )

For me it was right about the 30 lbs. loss that I started to really look thinner. Like you, it started showing on my face and neck mostly. I used to get a little nervous because "no one would say anything." Then starting at about 30+ the noticing and compliments started happening!!! more and more with the losses. I actually got my first, non-family "you're so skinny" comment this week! LOL I have collar bones, ribs and, as of last night, hip bones!!!! LOL Who knew! :-)

Enjoy your new hair cut. I bet you look smoking hot!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a little shy, and exposed now with my smaller body and dramatic cut. Back to work though Monday, I'll have no choice but to get over it! I guess you could call it un-growing pains?
