Katy - if that is a current picture of you then I don't think you face is chubby!!!

I've actually been proportionally getting smaller. Eventhough my face is much smaller then it was it is still kindof chubby, my second chin is almost gone. I have "apple cheeks", but I also have dimples that I forgot about (they were hiding under all the fat), I use to have a round shaped face but not it's actually more of an ovel.

I lost weight in my face fairly quickly, by 30 lbs it was pretty dramatic - I got cheekbones!

I am another chubby cheek person. I did notice within 4days a slimmer face due to reducing soduim intake.
Today, inadvertantly,
I did eat a 6 inch subway sandwich with a whopping 1530mg of sodium and my face puffed out just from that alone.

Maybe I am sensitive to sodium, but I had been trying to reduce sodium intake and noticed a big difference.

I was SO excited when I found my cheekbones for the first time in my adult life. I can't remember how much weight I lost before I noticed a change in my face, but I DO know that MOST of the change was in the last 6 months of my weight loss, so about the last 50lbs.

I have been VERY lucky that my face and neck have pretty much 'shrunk' back into shape. I have a little loose skin under my chin, but that is about all. Now, as far as the REST of my body goes, we won't even discuss that!

I never got bad enough that I had a double chin or anything, just jaw-line fat that makes my face seem bottom-heavy. One of my classmates noticed changes in my face last Tuesday, but I haven't really noticed it myself...I think we're slow to see changes in our own bodies, and that goes extra for the face. I still have too much fat there, but thinking about it, I certainly have fewer days when I take a look in the mirror and hate my jaw.

I noticed a little bit of change after 50 pounds, a small double chin has disappeared and my cheeks are a bit more hollow. I have an oval-shaped face. When I compare my pictures from before I carried extra weight to now, I notice a big difference. Some people's faces change a ton after weight loss, some don't.

Zelma, I do love your new avatar pic!
