I definitely say that your face is thinning out. I know I keep asking but have you measured yourself yet? If you feel embarrassed, you don't need to share BUT for your own sense of well being, I think you should.
I'll tell you I started out with a 66 inch circumfrence around my hips/butt/lower stomach and a 56 inch waist. 4.5 months later I have a 54 inch circumfrence around my hips/butt/lower stomach and a 42 inch waist (depending on the bloat
)
It would definitely help you see the results in a numerical form which always helps.
