OMG MY NECK

I first want to say I am soooo thankful I have lost weight....I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, but OMG my neck looks soooo weird now. It looks like I'm straining :(...I'm glad it's not saggy, but it looks so wrinkly and tight now. Is anyone else going through this??? Is there anything I can do for it??? I pray it doesn't get any worse :(

Do me a favor chickee. . . Go google pics of celebrities that are our age and similar weights and really look at their necks, okay??? I think you will be amazed at what you see.

My neck looks super similar to yours, and it has tightened up some being a lot further out. But, when I turn my head a certain way, or draw my neck back, I look like a sharpei puppy ha ha ha.

See what I mean at my neck ? ? ? But, I go and google Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock pics with their necks cocked sideways, or looking back and they have those wrinkles too so it makes me feel better about it. I have a bit of turkey neck as well that just appeared over the last few months. Before it was super tight, or drawn taut, but now I have that little bit of skin right at the middle of my throat. I've already decided for my 40th, a mini facelift will be on tap ! ! !

Oh god, I WISH mine looked as good as yours!! I think it looks fab, S4M! Mine has a full on effing wattle hanging down. :angry: Sux...

Hmmm yes my dear my neck looks like that too. I love mine!! ;-) You look absolutely beautiful S, don't stress. You're just not used to seeing the thinner you, it will catch up in time. Hugs!!!

Thanks guys!

It has been over 20 years since I've been this weight so mixed with age (ugh lol) and just not being use to seeing myself at this weight again it makes sense.

I guess it's made me even more self conscience because my kids are constantly saying MOM STOP MAKING YOUR NECK TIGHTEN UP LIKE THAT, but I just realized THEY have NEVER seen me this weight. I hit 188 back in 2004 but not this weight.

I just have to get use to it too : )

I want one just like it!! Just looks thin to me !!

Awwww you're so sweet...sniff, sniff

You have a beautiful, long, young looking neck! It looks "strange" to you because you're not used to it, but I'm sure to others it looks great! My neck isn't thin enough to look that pretty (YET), but I have noticed that my rolls are getting smaller :)

Thin women always worry about their necks! You have such a beautiful face, and your so sporty now, thats really the impression you leave, not of a strange neck. I really work my neck in my dance class hoping to get the very look you have! My tendons do show up more now... better than what was there before! Tell those kids to hop on the shut-up train!

You guys are truly the best sniff sniff...AND I'M LOVIN THE SHUT UP TRAIN LOL! I'm gonna have to use it!

sleeve 4 me, you look great! And your skin looks great too :) Nothin wrong with your neck at all.

Have you ever tried a relaxing shoulders & neck massage? Maybe you're holding tension in your neck and that's part of why you feel like your neck muscles are standing out. If you are, and you do try a massage, I bet you'll FEEL much better cuz neck tension is the worst.

Hey-----get a People magazine and look at all the super models and stars. You look great!
