I am not talking about my face, but my whole head.  I can't put sunglasses on top of my head.  Also headbands don't do well on my head.  I have to have a wide set of sunglasses and headband.  If I am going to keep my big head, it is okay to tell me.  (Big head=big brain) Well, that is what I have always been told. I have always wanted to put my sunglasses on top of my head.

I don't think the size of your head will change. It is a bony structure and should remain the same.

Seems we have some disagreement. Why not measure it and let us know what happens?

Mine did.  I measured around my bottom lip (as suggested by some website 1.5 yrs ago, no idea which one) and I have definitely lost.  I started at 19 inches and as of Sunday night I'm down to 16.25 inches.

You should keep track, it's fun!

Yes, your head will shrink.  Not as much as other areas, but it will lose some fat and therefore get smaller.

I went from a 7 3/4 hat size to a 7 1/8 hat size.  That's a pretty dramatic loss of size (it's a smaller size than I wore while on active duty for 10 years).

I went from a size XL motorcycle helmet to a Large and may end up in a medium.

A lot of it is cheeks.

 I hope my head shrinks!  I have a big ol' fat forehead I'm not fond of.  I've always joked that I'm the only person in the world who will probably have to have her forehead liposuctioned!
