My face gets swollen all the time but I have normal blood pressure. It runs in my family. Some people get heavy first inthe stomach or behind but for me its the face first. My ankles didn't look swollen until after I lost the weight and you could see a difference.

If that runs in your family than thats cool, and since it went away after you lost the weight, than its not a problem. Believe me, I see people walk around with things they dont know they even have, and they come in for something minor and find out they have something major. (I saw a young woman in her 30's come in because she was having headaches sometimes, and falling once and a while, they found out she had a terminal brain tumor) Good luck on your diet!

Yabbo, I am the same way! My face, legs and arms get so skinny, but it takes me forever to lose the weight in my stomach. I have noticed that I have lost some in my waist, but still have a lot more to go. Middle fat is the hardest to lose I think, except maybe for that pouch women get on the upper inner thigh!
