So many people here have skinny faces!

Has anyone but me noticed that profile faces don't match the weight of the poster? I have a fat face. Always been. It went down a little when I lost over 100 lbs, but not much.

You lucky dogs! Guess I take after my dad. he didn't have a weight problem but had a fat face!

I always gain and lose in my face first! But.. I've mastered how to hold the camera just right with my head tilted up to tighten up my double chin! Lol! I can't wait until the day that I don't have to worry about it!!!

Girl whatcha talking about? Do you know how many pictures I took till I came up with this one?

Lighting and angles! We are just better with the camera that's all :D

I'm right there with you. Guess we need to practice with the camera. Haha

I call them "my fat girl camera tricks" lol! This double chin is slowly going away but not nearly as fast as I'd like it to even with 105 pounds gone!

And quite an impressive picture it is Laura!!! ;)

I guess I can't complain, my face is just naturally slimmer. However, by the time I get to my goal weight, people will be telling me I've lost too much. I am a pear, I carry my weight in my lower half. So by the time I reach my goal to be the size I want to be in pants, my face is going to look very gaunt. I've been thinking about how I will respond when people say I've lost too much, I think I'll just turn around, bend over and say " tell it to my ass"!

marfar 7, I have noticed the same thing! I have been thinking that they have to be new pictures after wt loss or pictures before the weight gain. That's so funny, I have been wondering how so many "thin" people are having this surgery...........

vertical sleeve talk has really opened my eyes to how many people are having this surgery done EVERY DAY! This is more profitable for the surgeons than even plastic surgery! Hugh industry!

I always lose weight in my face first. In fact, the last few years when I lost weight I was always so shocked at how old and saggy my face and neck became, I swear that's why I gained the weight back.

So it's face, then boobs, then legs/hips, then back. The stomach never goes anywhere. Maybe this time it will go too.

This is the thing with women right? The weight comes off from head to to hips so your boobs flatten our first. But when it's time to put it back on, it starts from hips to boobs so the boobs are the last thing to fill out. Unfair! :P

Facial size is not indicative of ones overall body size, that's for sure. I've seen many larger women with such thin faces that if i saw just a headshot, I would never imagine them to be overweight. I'm actually envious, lol.

I think, no matter how much weight I lose, I will always have a full face. Time will tell! :)

Marfar, I have often thought the same thing.....was wondering if I was the only one thinking it LOL And for those of us with a round face, it just keeps getting rounder with weight gain LOL

Lol! Not me... I have a nice round face even at 120 pounds!

My weight comes off my butt and legs first. I look like a marshmallow being held up by 2 toothpicks!

I'm another one who evidently loses from the top down! I'm 7 weeks out and have noticed my neck getting wrinkly and saggy already! And when I went for my 6-week visit with the physical fitness person, she took measurements. I was very pleased to have lost 5 inches each from my waist and tummy area--until she told me I had lost 10 inches from the bust!! I sure hope that doesn't continue to be my pattern!

I'm always an hourglass. The amount of sand in it changes and sometimes it's a bigger one, sometimes a bit smaller. But I do lately put on weight on my tummy so it's hourglass from the front and a busted-up hourglass from the side :)
