The Face..

Hey Knotties,

So I have been slowly losing weight..but only have been having one issue. No matter how much weight I lost, My face still looking very full to me. Why is that? I lost about 7-10 pounds and my stomach looks a little flatter, but my face just isn't slimming down. Does that area take longer than the rest? I'm just a little confused. 
I just took my graduation photos recently and my body looked slim but then my face looked..well..heavy.
Any thoughts on this? Is there anything I can do about my extra heaviness in my face?

    I lose weight the same way. 

    From what I hear, it's because we "lose weight like a man".  Most women that I've known, show their weight loss first in their face or boobs. Most men lose around their middle first. 

    I'm happy with it.  Weight loss in my face doesn't make my smaller pants fit any better.  I'm planning on just continuing on, enjoying the weight loss, and waiting for my face and neck to get the memo.

    Congrats on the loss!

    I do find that water weight is very visible in my face.  Drinking a little exra water seems to help flush it out.

    <div>Agreed! :) Also, losing weight from your face and make wrinkles more pronounced, gah! </div><div>
    </div><div>But in reality, you lose weight from different body parts at different rates. Some people see it in their faces right away. Some don't until much later. Some people's stomach goes last (or first). Some lose their boobs first. </div>

    hehehe sooo true.. they talk about that on the today show all the time. :P

    But you also have to keep in mind that you look at your face every. single. day. you look at your face probably more than anything else on your bod. It will take a significant amoutn of loss for you to notice. (I know I'm the same way.. people have said my face looks thinner and showing my fat loss/muscle gain, but i don't see it AT ALL. Keep positive :)

    I've found that the first place you gained weight is the last place you lose.  It's frustrating, but at least you're loosing weight!
