Normal is not measured by the size of your neck. From the tip of my thumb to the tip of my index finger is 8 1/4 inches (yes, my fingers are long). So any neck larger than the span of both my hands would be too large. So larger than 16 1/2 inches is too large. Think about it. HelpfulCali

Plus you have admitted to being bulimic and i wonder if you have a realistic idea of what a healthy weight IS.

But that isn't realistic for me.

I've actually lost 3.5 inches in my neck...and it looks A LOT better than it did...I just think my face would look better if I got rid of the double chin and fat neck hehe

Then you know you need to lose weight. Stop drinking soda, period. That will go a long way. Don't drink a lot of fruit juices, they are also high calorie. No refined sugar snacks. Reduce your carb intake, breads especially. Do not fill your dish until it is full. Ever notice that there is wide defined edge on most plates with a center section that is either "sunk" into the plate or deliniated by a design or simple drawn circle? Your food should not go outside those areas. If you eat right, reduce your intake, and start walking as far as you can each day, and work your way up to 5 miles a day, you will get better and lose the weight. Exercise AND a proper diet are required. And walking does far more than people realize.

What are you doing today to start that path ? eating healthy and exercising? under 1200 calories, more than 80 g of protein, lots of fresh fruits and veggies...very little processed or premade crap. No artifcial sweeteners. Low sodium.

LOL I don't drink soda...haven't in a very long time...I don't drink juice either...haven't since they tried to force me when I was in the hospital. They tried to make me drink 7 juices a day when I was in the hospital LOL I'm like...uh...no...LOL PLUS 3 milks...hell those alone would add up to what I need calorie wise LOL then they said I was "restricting" LOL yeah...I was eating like 1500 calories a day...that ain't restricting.

dollparts85 -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:45:36 AM)
oh and I don't need to reduce my carbs...I barely eat any...and what I do it is fruits and whole grains. I generally get under 100 carbs a day. 180 is recommended.

domahpet -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:46:30 AM)
that bmi calculator said i am 33.9, ok so 34. it also says i am obeses. so i went to look in the mirror. i am so not obese! i am curvy as hell, got big tits and a big ass, but you know what? not a single person has ever said, holly, yanno some machine said youre obese, whatr you gonna do about it? in fact the opposite, because that is how I present myself i love being curvy, im boomin baby! oh yea, that bmi thing is crap.

dollparts85 -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:50:14 AM)
you're not far from morbidly obese...only 6 points...anything over 40 is. It is not healthy...

Gemini1766 -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:50:36 AM)
domahpet, that's medical not personal belief. The highter the BMI index the more danger you are in of heart ailments, as well as back and knee troubles. Being a big sexy woman isn't an issue to me, not when the woman likes who she is. Her health, in the long run, that is. Some people can carry such weight without a problem, but not most. Be yourself. That's all I can really say. You are who you are and you're happy. Good enough.

MissHarlet -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:50:51 AM)
1200 calories a day is very restrictive if you are more than 20 lbs overweight .. most nutritionists recommend 1800 to start with and you WILL still lose weight ...

Lynnxz -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:53:02 AM)
Stupid BMI thing... it says I am overly fatty too... and I'm 5'9" and 130.... halfway considers going to the gym

dollparts85 -> RE: How many inches is "normal" for around your neck? (4/1/2008 9:53:26 AM)
LOL I was told 1200 by one and 1500 by others...and I won't lose wieght on 1800 calories...I have a slow metabolism from hypothyrodism...even on my WORST days...I do not eat over 2000 calories. 1200 is good for me. My nutritionist says I'm doing great.
