I'll start by saying I'm glad you made it past a bad beard day! I hope you've just forgotten to update your topic "hope for these cheeks" . I think things look great, and there was pretty obvious improvement betwen your comparison pictures from week 6 & 10!

I bet you didn't receive any comments about your cheeks from those who saw the picture from your birthday Can't wait to see your next update!

Thank you! And yes you are right, no comments regarding the cheeks  

As for the topic name, I've left it with the intention of being some sort of help and/or encouragement to someone someday. Seems like there are lots of us out there that have slow growing sides. If someone searches for it maybe they will find the thread and be encouraged to stick to it and let it grow.

I know that if it wasnt for this forum I would not be where I am today. My cheeks are so bare during the first month (you will see on the weekend when I post my early stage photos) that its always left me so discouraged that I would end up shaving them off. I was convinced that I just didnt have the ability to grow a full beard, and that I never would. Until I found this forum. So I am hoping I can contribute to what it has done for me and hopefully help others one day.
