I have a quick question...so...I have this big hunk of fat on the back of my neck where my neck and back meet. Since I have been overweight since Jr. High...it has always been there. Will it go away??? Has anyone else had this???

On a side note - I've noticed that although I am still self-conscious about my weight - Recent;y I have kind of embraced it. Like when my family went to a Water park I was out there having fun, running (ok walking) around not caring like I used to because I know that soon I won't look the way I do. I find it ironic that for the first time I am - to a point - OK with my weight. Or well at least I accept it because I know/hope this weight is only temporary. I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I HAVE CONTROL!!!! Can't wait till June 20th!!!!! BRING ON MY SLEEVE!!!

Thanks for listening/reading my ramblings....gotta love VST therapy!

I can't wait to hear the answer to your question! BUMP

I don't know if I ever had a fat "bump" at the back of my neck but I can tell you that a 16" necklace that used to look tight around my neck now hangs down into the hollow of my throat. Also, men will take a smaller neck size in dress shirts after they lose weight, so I think your neck will be smaller but as for a specific area...I don't know. If it bothers you, I hope it goes away!

I had it, and it's completely gone. It was almost gone with the first 50-70lbs lost.

Actually, my spine shows through my skin now when I hunch over so it's really weird to see bone where my little "fat pad" used to be.

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!

Mine is gone too! In fact - it feels weird to actually feel by bones there.

Mine too, that seemed to be the place I put on fat and the FIRST place I started to lose it. It was a huge collar around my neck and was starting to pinch some nerves as I hunched over because of it.

Mostly gone - I actually have a neck now!

I believe so.

In Brazil we measure the waist of pants around our necks and it it goes around the neck comfortably it will fit your waist too.(Unless you have a very particular shape). It has worked with me forever. The neck increased in circunference in the same proportion the waist did. It has reduced also in the same proportion and now 2 nevcklaces/chocker srtyle I had that were not fitting are fitting nicely. So my guess is that the neck fat will be gone really soon. Keeps us posted.

I have that fat pad too, I have had it even when I was thinner... but not quite as much as when I gained weight. It depends on what it is. There are fatty tumors, funny bone structure and fat that can accumulate because of Cushings disease. I expect to still have some of mine after I lose the weight.

Yes I understand about the not hiding the fat anymore! I tell people how much I weight (the ultimate secret!) I guess I figured if I didn't tell them, they wouldn't figure out I was fat! . I talk about my BMI numbers. I have left shame behind. Now I wear fitting clothing more, I talk about losing weight, being fat and the details ( with people who want to talk about it that is...). I don't hide it. This is so liberating! I really feel like this change is going to last.

That bump is called a "dowager's hump." Now I can admit that I had it...a dear friend pointed it out to me once, so I grew my hair out longer so no one would see it. Crazy, huh?

Mine is gone and yes the hair is worn up now. Ah...gotta love the sleeve.

That's great to hear. I grew my hair long when I gained weight too because of it. When I was thinner I didn't have it but it's the first place I gained when I started gaining. My bf thought I might be getting a tumor or something there! Nope, just fat baby!

Oh I have it too! I hope it goes as I lose.

Mine is gone too it was the first thing *I* could see and feel on my body. I never thought I would because I had had mine forever.

Like Tiffy I had one too and it went more slowly then hers but it is completely gone now. I have a short neck so all loss from that area was so welcome, I used to look like Mr Potato Man!!

Mine is shrinking too, :thumbs_up: gotta love the sleeve!

I'm 5 months out and 65ish pounds down and mine is almost completely gone. It was quite substantial so I'm happy, happy!
