Some people can weigh 200-300 lbs and have a beautiful sculpted face and normal chin and neck. I envy that. I envy anyone with one chin!
How can you "tone" your face and neck?

    Lose weight overall you cannot do anything to specifically tone your face.

    Chin ups.
  • Ihave only just started my journey but I lost 2stone before finding this place. The first place I noticed it was in my face, then my tummy. I just assumed that it went in your face first but I guess everyone is different....

    I completely understand. Extra weight on me goes to my jowls/under my chin. I think it makes me look heavier than I am, it also ages me.
    And then I'll see women who have higher fat % with amazing jawlines. (Jennifer Hudson is one person that comes to mind. Even at her heaviest, she had a great jawline)
    But nothing you can do about it, but lose weight overall. Its genetics.

    Jillian Michael's said in one of her books that "the body loses weight systemically across the body." This means all over while reducing. So spot reducing is a myth. My husband tends to lose it in his face first. I have also heard "first hired last fired." Meaning, that where you tend to gain first is the last place to go on a reduction program.

    You have to just lose overall. My face is the first place I notice a difference though!
