Maybe I should measure my face

[Sandra94]

Seriously, if one more person tells me my face is thinner and not my fat body.. I am going to choke them!!

I need to buy a new tape measure because I am really bad at measuring... I seem to get no loss anywhere. It is really frustrating. My pants were always pretty big as my hips are bigger than my waist so I had to buy bigger so it is really hard to tell in my clothing. It has been almost 3 weeks and I lost so far 12.5 lbs then an additional 6 from before I started this. So 18.5 lbs and all I hear is wow your face is so thin. SHUT UP!

Ok I think I feel a little better. I just want it to be July of 2008 already so I can skip over the hard part and be thin!

I completely understand. I've lost almost 100 pounds from my heaviest, and I swear the place I lost it all was my face and it's the place people notice the most. I still carry most of my weight in my back and stomach...BLAH!!! It get's better...I promise

That was a reminder for me too...lol

It seems like it never comes off where you want it to!

You're doing great, keep up the good work!

Also, also, from many previous bouts of losing weight (and picking it back up) people always notice my face first. Instead of being frustrated by it I now take it as a sign that I'm beginning to lose weight, that's like the first milestone I have to pass, and then comes the body.

Oh, believe me, I know that "problem", it seems the face is where it shows first....then it showed on my wrists...yeah, my wrists!
The new watch I had bought in April all of a sudden became way too big.
It took a few weeks until the rest of my body followed, now my parents say I've got a figure again and I've seen the centimeters go everywhere.

Congratulations on your loss so far, well done!

Oh, Sandra, I know how you feel. I'm terrible at measuring myself, too. I'm going to try doing it every two weeks instead of every week--hopefully get better measurements that way.

Way to go on completing induction and the 18.5 lost!!!
