I am aware that stomach fat can be a leading indicator of cardiovascular disease and now I've read that carrying excess neck fat is closely associated with the known factors for heart trouble including diabetes. Has anyone had an assessment of their neck circumference performed by their physician?

Say it ain't so! I make a joke when I'm having my picture taken that I'm trying to suck in my neck. I'm 5 feet tall and none of that is neck... Another thing to blame on Mom!!
