My extremely large double chin is almost gone, I can't believe it. That thing has plagued me all my life. I have been doing chin and neck exercises and it's working, Yay!!! I think I am hitting that platue again where I don't lose any weight but my body makes changes in it's size. It seems to happen every couple of months. How's everyone else doing today??
If anyone has them for saggy arms. please let us know those also!

Carol all I do is tighten my neck and chin muscles by clinching (I don't think that is the right word) anyway I do it about 50 times a day. I need to be doing it with my butt and stomach muscles too, LOL!! I would also like to know if anyone knows how to get rid of the excess flab on the upper arms too. Mine is so saggy I could use the flab to fly if I had too. Then there is the flap that hangs down from the 3 C-Sections I had, if only I could get rid of that without plastic surgery.

The upper arm will get leaner through isometric exercise. Put a couple of soup cans next to your living room chair. Use them as weights and lift them over your head, out to the side. There are exercises on the internet that you can do too. Then remember, some of us are just going to have some saggy upper arms because of our genes. My mother is only 104 pounds but her arms are floppy. I'm fat, but my arms aren't.
C-section flaps I don't understand. I had 2 c-sections, but I don't have any flaps. Of course, my scar goes vertically instead of horizontal. That might make a difference. If you have strong muscles underneath your tummy, I suggest using a tummy control panti to help with the excess.

Cindy if it is water weight for a few days drink water with lemon squeezed in it. That is a diaretic(SP) but doesn't make you poo only makes you pee the extra water.
I WANT TO SEE PIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost about 30 so it will give me and idea of what the difference is on me. The last pictures of me were from 7 years ago.
