I think all 17 of my lost pounds came off my face, hands and feet!
I still have big hips, and big thighs and a large posterior. I've never had many belly problems, even at my HW it was barely there (part of the reason I could convince myself that I didn't have a "problem" was my relatively flat belly)...but my hands, face and feet are SKINNY. I look down at my hands and they're very slender and you can see the tendons when I move my fingers, same deal with my feet. My face went from round to oval....
Did anyone else experience the same thing? Are my hands gonna keep getting thinner? I don't want skeletor hands!
Yeah, my fingers have gotten skinny. I can't wear my wedding ring anymore. The face too also takes the first hit for many. I've heard many people say they think their face looks gaunt but their body is still pretty big.
This happened to my husband as well when he lost 100lbs - it appears to be that that works itself out over time while you're in maintenance and that your face starts to fill out a bit again.
Not sure about skeletor hands though, they keep getting smaller and more wrinkly!
Nope, I have sausage fingers at any weight, lol. I do, however, get the flat belly thing. I've always had a relatively flat stomach, no matter what my weight aside from pregnancy and immediate post pregnancy.
I didn't lose weight for a month, but my weight redistributed itself somewhat during that month. The crepey skin on my lower stomach now has some subcutaneous fat with it (boo) and is more wrinkly than crepey. My thighs each went down 1/2" at their largest point (yay!)
Maybe over time your fat will redistribute too. Weightloss/fat loss is a weird and somewhat unpredictable process.
Definitely my fingers! - I need to have some ring sizing done! And I think maybe my feet? I was wearing mostly 6.5 and 7 shoe sizes, now I'm totally in size 6....some 5.5!
And I can totally see the loss in my face - when comparing pictures, I mean. I don't see it when I'm just looking in the mirror or whatever.
