    I'm anxious to hear if anyone has any suggestions, too, though I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do for it. If it's not a "natural" double chin, then if you keep losing weight, you'll lose the double chin. I'm almost positive there are no "exercises" you can do for it, just cardio to burn the fat off. However, a lot of people, including me, have a genetic double chin. I didn't have one before I gained the weight (though I'm not overweight currently), but everyone in my family has one, even the people that weigh 100 pounds! It does run in some families...hopefully not yours.

    I do an old yoga exercise for mine - just once in awhile when I remember it. I have however, lost 34 lbs and noticed a dramatic change in how far I can now put my chin to my chest! Yay!

    I did find this YouTube video that includes the one that I do. I do not use the chin strap. Good Luck

    i'm not sure about exercises however practice posing some for pictures if it bothers you. lift your head slightly and see if your smile may be contributing to it. you may be very thin and just the muscle shape has to be manipulated. trust me you never see a movie star with a chin down :)

    I've noticed my double-chin going away through weight-loss in general.

    Once I lost the weight it went away...When I hit the half way mark I noticed I big difference but I would say the biggest difference hit once I hit my goal.

    This is a very GOOD picture of my double chin.

    i have been trying belly dancing..it has a lot of neck movements. I have only lost 10 lbs but I can see a huge difference in my face and neck. I just DVR'd a belly dancing workout from fit tv. I like Zumba better =)

    you can actually encourage the double chin to go away by making sure you practice really good posture during exercising. Stretch your neck nice and tall and try to NOT have a double chin during your work outs. This really helps me get it to diminish

    lol, that's like asking if doing sit-ups are going to make your abs show up. You can't spot remove fat, only through proper nutrition and exercise will you lose the face fat. Your body decides where the fat comes off, but usually the face is the first part that starts to lose significant fat, which is why people get that "WOW you look thin!" response from close friends or family, even though they just started losing weight.
