I feel like my neck is disappearing! 😀

[Booksandflowers]

I’ve noticed lately that I don’t have much of a neck anymore. I am
overweight which doesn’t help so need to sort that out but any other tips?

I notice in bed that my shoulders are pretty much touching my ears when I’m laying down. I’m going to look into a massage to see if some of this is tension in my shoulders and will do some neck stretches too.

i hate it.

I’m about 2.5 stone overweight. Honestly feel like I barely have a neck anymore!

Have you got a rounded posture?
Try dropping shoulders and straightening back consciously/yoga/Pilates/posture corrector thingy

I wish. I phrased it wrong before. I’m 2.5 stone overweight but would like to lose 4 stone.

Posture could definitely be improved. Thanks.

Oh the reply’s have gone. I didn’t even see the last one.

@Booksandflowers Have you had your thyroid levels checked?

No, why do you think that?

Excess neck fat caused by thyroid or hormone issues such as PCOS have their own complications

Get your thyroid checked as pp have suggested it could be a goitre

My friend has the same issue. She thinks she looks like the honey monster.

Ok. Will see if the gp will let me have an appointment. Thank you.

Good luck.

Definitely try pilates first. If you find a local class on FB or similar, contact them and ask for a 1:1.
It might be £40 but this will be money well spent if you are to begin a weekly class afterwards.
Case study - someone I know ( sporty as a teenager, fit, thinnish) said they didn't believe sport in bare feet was worth it.
I MADE them go to pilates - they were slim, 59, but could'nt touch their toes.
A year later they are strong, bendable and able to garden way better ! They wish they'd been before.

So, try pilates before doc.

I naturally have a very short neck and I have wide shoulders so I look like football player. I noticed that my posture doesn’t help so now I make an effort to sit and stand straight and pull my shoulders back. It’s tough to do but as I do it more it becomes something I do without thinking.
