SO I'm down almost 45 pounds and my face has changed a good bit but my cheeks / neck are still kinda bad looking I am 5'11 195.8 pounds and I am trying to get down to 175.

is this normal for someone in the 190 lbs range?

    How do you define "kinda bad looking"?

    If that is your profile picture then I don't see bad. You have to be patience because you can't direct your body to areas to burn fat. It does it as it sees fit.

    I can't see your pictures because my internet sucks but just give it some time. My face was super puffy at 163 pounds and it's thinned out now at 148. I don't know how much you've lost but maybe you'll see a little difference every 10 or 15 pounds. I dunno. I'm no professional.

    I am 6' tall and around 190 lbs. I am still working toward my goal.

    I have noticed my face looking better, but there is still a good bit left. I am not worried about it and you shouldn't be either. It'll come off eventually.

    Often when I see people's before and after pics it seems like they look younger
    and better-looking, face-wise, in their before pictures (to a point, obviously).

    Embrace the cheeks.

    I also have the camera blocking the lower half of my face lol
    but when I turn my head I have this horrible double chin that is refusing to leave along with my cheeks being really large.

    alright thank you just wanted to know if it was taking anyone else a good amount of time to get it to bugger off.

    There isn't anything wrong with your face. Just keep doing a healthy and sustainable weight loss routine and the weight in those areas will go.
