I've been meticulously tracking calories for 5 months (weight loss was extra fast at first because I'm postpartum and a lot of it had nothing to do with fat loss). Around 2 weeks ago I began 30-45 minutes of cycling a day, 20min of mild resistance with exercise bands, and this week a new job that keeps me active. Started at 210lb, obese, and currently I'm down to my healthy weight range at 140lb.
So for background when I was obese people often thought I was around 34 years old. I just accepted that I must be one of those people who look older than they are.
But recently I realized it was honestly just from having a puffy, fat face from obesity. I'm now down 70lb and started a new job, my coworkers noticed I was married and asked me how old I was... and they were shocked because they thought I was 19-21 age range!
I knew face gains were a thing, and I had been admiring them privately... but I was just happy to be rid of my double chin. Hearing a bunch of people I met for the first time reacting that it changed how old I appear so drastically was honestly a shock, and a great one!
Definitely the confidence booster I needed to get through this dang exercise water retention plateau!
My take away? NSVs are just so important to keep you motivated and determined when it starts to get harder, so make sure you don't knock them or ignore them!
