Question lose weight in the face first?

I recently had my driver's license renewed and and startled to see that my face is very thin (thinner than I see in the mirror) while my torso is not at all overthin. Maybe this is why everyone thinks I am too thin. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else notices this. Personally, I have noticed that many of you who are still 50 lbs. or more from goal seem to have thin faces.

Usually you lose weight first the last place you put it on. Mostly that is the face. I notice people's weight loss in their face before I notice it other places.

I think it's partially because we tend to lose our excess water and puffiness. For me, it was quite noticible in the hands and face.
