I was recently having a discussion with a Personal Trainer (PT) mate of mine.

He was asking me about the changes I'd noticed with my body since losing my 230 lbs (so far)..
I told him about my 'deflated balloon belly'...

He laughed...

I told him about the 'bat-flaps' of skin under my upper arms that slap against me sometimes when I move...

He laughed...

I told him about my two sizes smaller feet...

He laughed..

The I told him about what was REALLY p*ssing me off...

My 'turkey neck'...

You see, I had a great big bullfrog type head...

Neck really...

I was one puffed-up-canetoad lookin' dude...

I mean, have a look at this -

As you can see, I've kept the beard in an effort to cover up the under-chin carry on...

Actually, that pic on the right was in October last year, so I've lost a little more from there now...

I'm in a new job now, so I'm decidedly more 'neat and tidy'..

Anyway, back to the 'roid cream thing...

My PT mate was telling me that a lot of the female body builders he knows use the 'roid cream to smooth their bits (no, not THOSE bits) when it comes to comp time...

He reckoned that if I grab a tube or two and have a crack at applying it regularly, it may just smooth and tighten my biggest uncovered embarrassment...

So, here's the sh*t -

Beginning Monday, I'll be applying the Doot Cream twice a day...

It'll be post shower in the morning and evening...

Over the weekend, I'll try to take a decent pic of the affected area...

If I can do so, I'll post it on Monday, then each Monday after I'll post updated pics to see if there's any difference...

I'll also be trying some 'neck yoga sh*t' that I just stumbled on when I googled "wobbly neck skin"...

I hope to be able to shave the beard off (or some of it) by my birthday in July (18th for all those planning gifts)...

So, if anyone is interested, stay tuned and we'll see how we go...

Of course, if anyone has already tried this, please feel free to chime in and let me know how you went...

Thanx for reading all the way to the end...

Assuming you did...

I'm pre op and already started doing my neck exercises. No turkey neck here! Lol

Wow, amazing difference. I'm curious to hear your results. I've only lost 34. But I see some flabby chicken skin under my chin.

Why are we so vain?

Congrats again!!

I have tried them and they do give temporary tightening. It doesn't last long and they are expensive. But helped me look better in a dress I had to wear for a wedding. This pre op when I was pretty heavy.

I never heard that before

Yes keep us posted! I'm curious to know if the roid works. You look really handsome with your beard by the way.

KF-you've been very quiet on this thread of late. You haven't been using so much of the cream that it's tightened up your typing digits? You know, a bit like when you apply fake tan and forget to wash your hands........... Just a thought x

Firstly, thank you ALL for the advice and the kind words...

In particular, all those of you who mentioned words such as 'handsome' and the like in regard to my bulbous, hairy bonce..

That doesn't happen very often...

Anyway, enough of this jibber-jabber..

THE RESULTS ARE IN -

Sad to say, that the advice that many of you provided was accurate...

The arse cream did NOT have a lasting effect on my turkey neck...

It did seem to make a difference to its appearance for a while...

There certainly seemed to be some tightening...

But as expected, this turned out to be a misunderstanding on my PT's behalf...

So -

What now?

I need another experiment...

Does anyone have any ideas?

I've a little time on my hands until my internet is hooked up, so I'm hoping you all can keep me busy...

You know about idle hands, right?

They're KindFamiliar's workshop...

And there's only so much 'work' I can do without going blind...

Or experiencing chafing...

All ideas considererd!!!

@@KindaFamiliar ... thank YOU for your contributions to science.

Seriously.

However, I am seriously disturbed at the news from @@meatpie 's Down Under pharmacist that face-tightening ingredients have been removed from arse cream.

Which just goes illustrates that what once was true may no longer be true anymore. And that's some good science, too.

Me and science go way back...

We used to hang out in school..

I'm always happy to help out my fellow recovering fatty-boom-bahs...

It's all part of being a man of the people...

Plus, it amuses me...

And apparently it amuses others as well...

I'm all for that sh*t...

Only kidding. Your excess weight loss results are amazing and very inspirational!

You're a riot, KindaFamiliar! Keep THAT up, while keeping your weight down. Don't get too "Hung up" on the turkey neck. The neck doesn't make the man.
