OMG Turkey Neck!!!!!

[Jachut 487]

Nooooo, here I was all smug about my flat tummy, and I'm getting a freaking turkey neck :omg: Its not even as if I had four chins! But its definitely there, a little pouchy bit under my chin that I can pinch and it stays pinched for a minute or two. It even wobbles :phanvan

Cross fingers it firms up! Its only a little bit and nobody would probably even notice it but I'm really finding that losing weight is doing great things for my body but not for my face. From looking a very young 38, I'm now definitely looking 38, lets hope I dont end up looking older than I am. Boo hoo.

You have my deepest sympathy. I have always looked younger than I am. Even with my double chins. Now I'm losing this weight which makes me feel GREAT...but the face is suffering. I have 16 years on you...I want abdominoplasty really bad....but I'm beginning to want face work more.

Do neck exercises it could help if there is just a little looseness (is that a word?)

Yes, exercises do work. You have lots of facial muscles and they can be firmed up just like any other muscle in your body. Yo firm the neck, close your mouth and then try to smile as wide as you can. If you look in the mirror, you will see the neck wobble kind of suck up and nearly disappear. Hold this for 5 seconds and then relax. Repeat it several times and then "do it" when you're driving or watching TV, etc. You'll notice a difference in a few weeks.

Ok, well I already do my pelvic floor at the traffic lights, roflmao!!! I guess I"m going to be a busy girl, just dont stare if you pull up next to me, tee hee.

Actually I think I pull that face anyway when I do my pelvic floor muscles!

Try this for an exercise: Tilt your head up towards the ceiling. No using your chin muscle, open and close your mouth. I saw this on a face exercise tape one time. I think it helps to strengthen that muscle. I do it and I have no double chin after losing 52 lbs. Good luck.
