    Do you have large breasts? I only ask because I had a huge lump at the base of my neck and was told it was due to the size of my breasts. Had a breast reduction and within a year - it was completely gone.

    (Sorry if this doesn't help...)

    a good friend of mine has this issue.. and it seems to only really be noticable when she's heavy... it's the joy of genetics in her case.. her grandmother had one... and for as long as i knew her, she was never a small woman.
    patience and persistance... and reaching your goal, should make it go away....
    hang in there hun...

    Since you are new, be sure to read the Newbie information - you will get many answers from reading this, plus try using the search function as many topics are stored for viewing.

    As far as the hump on your neck - as you lose weight and tone up, it should grow smaller like all the other body parts.

    Hump of fat on neck...I had one a few years ago at the base of my neck, over the spine. It started as a small lump, and I would feel tightness. I would get someone to rub it down, then it mysteriously goes away for a couple of weeks. But over the years, it seemed to get larger and larger and hurt more and more.

    I could feel it, it was not really soft, but not rock hard either. It was movable, and I could get it to shrink somewhat by having it rubbed and pressed on.

    I had an MRI done, and I was told it was a fatty lipoma. It was something like 8 cm x 5 cm, rather large, requiring regular surgery, but also very benign. I had it removed a month and a half later when I could get the surgery scheduled. Was the first one out of the day surgery, it was that quick, even under general anestetic. And back in the car being taken home by 11:30 AM. I didn't even use any of the Vicodin, because 24 hours later it didn't hurt at all.

    I was told if I'd waited much longer, it could have grown tentacles following along bones and muscles and started wrapping around by the lungs and spine and heart. It would have been a lot worse in that case. When I had it cut out I had a very pronounced hunchback shape at the base of my neck from the sheer size of this thing. In all I think it took 8-10 years to get to that size, from I remembering I had pains back there a long long time ago.

    You mentioned being bigger in the chest area. Do you tend to slouch forward a bit? Maybe it could be bad posture mixed with other things too?

    I have a bit of a hump right at the base of my neck. I am uncomfortable wearing spaghetti straps with my hair up because of it. For me I know it's just fat. It didn't used to be there before I got preg. and gained a bunch of weight. Not sure what the point of storing fat there is but I guess I'm just lucky:laugh:

    *this*
    Go get it checked out by your doctor. It could be nothing more than weight and posture. It could be more but only a doctor can diagnose. However, cushings disease was the first thing to pop in my head as well.
