Do you have double chins or do you chose to have double chins?

I was reading through my anatomy book the other day and stumbled across a muscle I never knew was there!

Mylohyoideus is the name of the muscle located on the front side of your neck that elevates your tongue and the floor of your mouth. It is possible to decrease the appearance of your chins by strengthening this muscle. Practice raising your tongue to the roof of your mouth for reps and you will soon have better control of the appearance of your chin or chins.

Other things to consider! Your body fat: a healthy goal for your body fat is between 12-25% for women and between 3-15% for men. Having less body fat will decrease the amount of fat in your face, neck, ankels (or 'cankles') and everything in between;)
