I don't have my wires on yet but since I got my brackets I've lost 5 lbs. I find it weird tho because I've been eating nothing but ramen, chicken noodle soup and other high sodium, high starchy things. I'm expecting that I'll lose a lot more since I got my bicuspids pulled last friday.

I've definitely seen a decrease in weight but that is the OPPOSITE of what I want. Before my braces I barely broke 100 on a good day. After spacers/braces and before I did my first set of extractions I was already under 100 lbs. Second set of extractions coming up this month... I'm just going to waste away.... :(
