Really Strange NSV (maybe men will understand)

edited November 2024 in Success Stories
I started out January 2011 to lose weight and at that point I was just shy of 240 lbs. I recently broke 200 and am currently at 198. When I went to shave this morning I found I had a really smooth shave without have to stretch my skin or roll back fat to get at some spots. A quicker shave in the morning is saving me about 10 minutes. I just couldn't help myslef---I was running my hand over my chin on the drive in to work this morning. I am sure the cars that passed me must have thought I was nuts! Anybody else experience this?

    When I first read the subject, I was really thinking that it would be about a totally different area of the body! Very nice NSV!

    I found that happened to me. And shaving my face got easier too :)

    LOL Nope, not a man, but I do understand the happiness that comes when fat is not longer making trouble where it should not be.

    I'm not a man but as another lady mentioned I've notice it with my legs, much easier to do the backs of them now!

    Yeah, I dont cut myself as much as I use to. I still have the double chin but my skin on my face is a bit tighter than it was so I think it is easier to shave. At least maybe its in my head.

    I'm with the other ladies on this one - not to mention I save a couple of minutes now that I don't have as much skin to go over! :D

    Have not really experienced the easier shave yet. i am actually noticing a bit extra skin, not filled out by fat. How long till this starts to "tighten up"?

    I was thinking this too haha x] but as a few other girls have said - I've noticed that on my legs, that I don't have to stretch and do as crazy of positions to get to the backs of my legs and I'm only down 10lbs

    Yup, totally get it - one of the reasons I grew a goatee was to make it look like I still had a chin......

    I was at 240 on 12/19/11, and am at 212 now. I will say that not only is shaving your face and neck easier, but shaving your crotch and cutting your toe nails is also easier.

    I'm a girl, but know what you're talking about in reverse! I found that since I've lost a lot of weight I actually have armPITS and indentations in my legs and have to move in a strange way to get a nice clean shave! ;)

    When I first read this - I admit my mind went to other places than the face lol

    I may not understand the shaving of the face - but other places are a WHOLE lot easier to shave and get clean without being a contortionist!

    Great NSV for you! Congrats :)

    I know I shouldn't...but I'm gonna ask, "You shave your crotch?!"

    I had a goatee for the longest time, lost it about 6 months ago when I had dropped the first 20 lbs.
