Just goofing.

What's your preferred method of hole puncturing on leather belts, mickey? I like using a mallet + ice pick.

Hey fellas, I had a quick question for you:

I challenged myself to lose 10 pounds and I have now lost about five pounds. I have noticed a change in my thighs, belly (thinner!) but not my face, which I was hoping to slim down a bit. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I just need the motivation to keep going! I am not overweight - just picky about my appearance sometimes. Thanks!

Can’t really spot reduce fat. But still losing some in the belly so quickly is a big win.

i have heard that the most effective way to lose targeted facial fat is to shove an eggplant up your ass

Yeah, overall I feel lighter and thinner, so I'm just going to keep going with it

About a day after I made this post I finally started seeing some slimming on my face, I guess the motto is: stick with it.

Indeed. I can't remember how quickly my face slimmed down when I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, but I get wanting to see progress there more so than other areas.

Weirdly, I noticed my back lost fat pretty quickly.

I’ve lost 14 lbs in the last few week. You can’t really tell it by looking at me but there’s a definite change when I put on my pants and belt.

My problem spots are face/jowls and underarms. Can’t seem to get any of that to lessen.

Still early days, wease. Sounds like you're on a mission. Good shit.

I've only lost five pounds so the change that I finally noticed in my face is subtle but it was just enough motivation to keep me going. Most of the weight came off my thighs, neck, belly and shoulders. I am only 5-foot-8, 160 pounds so any weight loss is noticeable. My goal is 155 and I'll reevaluate once I get there.

Good luck, keep going. It will come off eventually.

This is what happened to me. It's never happened before, but my face felt like it got bigger, more jiggly the more weight I lost. I think what happened is this: https://www.meno-power.com/menopause-we ... u-lose-it/


CONCLUSION : DOES FAT GET SOFTER BEFORE YOU LOSE IT?

Yes, your fat may start to feel softer and more jiggly as you start to lose bodyweight. However, it’s not due to some magic whoosh effect but can be several different things.

The bottom line though is that if you measure yourself, especially around the waist, and things are shrinking, you are moving your health in the right direction. Stick to a healthy diet with natural foods, low carbs and lean protein and you will start to see results.

Keep going and you will start to see more results on the scales and a gradual improvement in your health.

We’re similar builds. I’d always been on the smaller side, but got in some meds 4 or so years ago and put in around 40 pounds in a year. It looked pretty bad with my small frame and 5’8 height as well. I’ve stayed around 145 pounds for over 18 months now. I know I could stand to put some more back on and some people act like I’m too small, but I’m good with where I am. Can’t get motivated to do strength training so some added pounds are muscle.

I got divorced about two years ago and ate my feelings and only recently decided to lose the 10 pounds I gained.

I’m sure it helped to achieve something in that context. Are you exercising also or just dieting?

Basically, I cut out almost all carbs and started working out again about five times a week. Nothing crazy. Just short, 20-30 min workouts as I know I'll stop if I overcommit. Keeping it simple. Alternating between cardio (elliptical machine) and basic weight lifting.

And, drinking a shit ton of water, which I read helps.
