Lost weight, here's a result I didn't expect: denser chest hair!

Here's a funny thing I just discovered: I lost about 55 pounds (went from 234 lbs to 179) and now that I stopped shaving my chest (yeah I'm a guy) I noticed that my chesthair is denser! I never thought about it, but it's actually logical: I have the same amount of hairs as before, but now that my body volume shrunk my body area shrunk as well, so there's more hair per unit of area! :wink:

...and even if I want to shave, it's easier because I have less area to shave! Oh man... there's so many advantages of losing weigh!

    Now that I think of it, my beard must also be denser now, as my face has shrunk considerably :smile:

    I am liking how my legs don't chafe any more during walks and exercise.

    Ha I also don't have the leg chaving problem anymore. Another unnoticed improvement! :smiley:

    Lol. I was at my hair stylist recently. He said, "Your hair looks thicker. What are you doing?" I said, "That's because my head skin shrunk!" He laughed so hard, I thought he was going to pee himself....
