I'm not fat, though I'm not lean either. I just have a bit of stomach fat. My family however has had a history of double chins on both sides and I got the worst of the two gene pools. I've had this weird sloppy neck since I was a kid. I'm at the end of my rope here. I need something because I really don't know what to do.
