Surprising! How much the face changes. Not only loosing weight. What you eat or more importantly what you don't eat.

I certainly know mine got larger when I gained weight...LOL!

Yes, because when we are overweight, we carry it all over our bodies.  Whenever I lose a significant amount of weight, my ring size and shoe size go down.  I've lost 50lbs since last summer and all my rings are loose.  I can't get anything resized because I'm still losing.  I was complaining about my boots rubbing my heels recently and then duhhhh, it dawned on me that my shoe size is probably a 9M now....not the 10W I wore 50lbs ago,

@chrystaltree Congratulations on your weight loss, high five to you, you are an awesome inspiration!

If you meant the word "fingers" and not "features", yes I have known since I was a young fat kid. Fingers also get smaller, maybe not for everyone, when your hands are very cold.i was a hockey referee for 30 years, many in very cold ice rinks.

I always took off my ring regardless of my weight at the time. I never wore gloves, as did many of the other referees, did wear gloves. I wore a finger ref whistle because it is more efficient, than one around my neck or always in my mouth or hand. I skated hard enough to keep my body, and hands and fingers, warm enough to not need gloves. Many other referees? Not so much.

I lose 10lbs, my fingers get smaller, as they do when my hands are very cold.

Meant exactly what I said, Features do shrink. Ears Nose Face. Ever look at someone after weight loss think....wow look completely different! Everything gets smaller. Not only fingers.

Guess I have never looked at noses/ears and faces as features. I always refer to each by physical name. 

As for weight loss I have been on both ends, and to the extreme on both, my wife can verify how she felt about my lowest weight.

As a 5'8" male, I have weighed as much as 210lbs, way too heavy for my body structure, and as low as 122lbs, when I was training and running a 26.2 mile full Marathon.

Most human beings lose weight starting from the last place on their body it ended up. My face looks pretty much the same during my many planned and structured, weight loss and weight gain programs.

When I chose a small incremental weight change up or down, my face showed zero change. Now at 40-50lbs, I could see it look fuller or much like nothing but skin and bones. To others when at my lower weights, they would ask "have you been sick"? I said, "no I am training for an X mile Road Race.

My ears did not change, and the only time my nose changed was during the 8 times it was broken. I had cosmetic and physical reasons to have my nose "fixed. For my cosmetic desire, it was too big. Since broken so many times, I could not breath through both nostrils, thus the Pulmonary reason for having it "fixed and repaired".

Maybe it's a gender view, but I know only what I see, and know when it comes to every part of my body, what changes occur when I vary my weight anywhere between the 90lb weight parameters I talked about above.

Guess that sets me straight as why you use the word "features" for body parts, and I talk about them by their actual names.

Thank you for your explanation, and now we both may understand each other.

When I lost a lot of weight, my ring size decreased from 9 to 7. My shoe width also decreased.
