I have lost 50 pounds of weight and 6 inches waist but still I have not seen remarkable change in my face its still very fatty :sad: ........I know there are no specific exercises for losing weight in specific area of body but why is fat not coming off!

    Honestly I'd be interested in seeing before and after photos because I think we're honestly the last person to see changes in ourselves.

    I was probably about sixty pounds lost before I noticed. I know my mum (who lives on the other side of the country so someone I sadly don't see often enough) the first thing she said was 'YOUR FACE' but personally could not see it. (spent the rest of the trip touching my neck, which was a big problem zone for me) I've been seeing it recently but it was tonight I looked in the mirror and got the shock of my life because I actually didn't recognize the person in it :) I promise it will happen, if it hasn't already.

    Have you been doing your cheek crunches? If you ignore those, of course your face is going to look flabby!

    (Just kidding. Fat loss is a "luck of the draw" kind of thing. I'm kind of the opposite, my face looked slimmer right away, but I still have a giant belly. Your body will get there eventually.)

    My face is the LAST place to thin out. I lose around my jawline and chin but keep my chubby cheeks forever :tongue: It's just how I'm made! My husband on the other hand, looks absolutely gaunt in the face when he loses down to a healthy weight for him because of his face shape.

    I come from a long line of baby faced fat heads. Or so my brother says... Just know that when you lose all the weight, your face will finally get thinner. I know this from experience. When I was a teenager I talked myself into thinking I was fatter than I actually was because I had a fat face. Don't worry, when you get close to your goal weight it will probably thin out too.
