Oh, Sheila...

you will lose that flab in upper back, too. Don't you worry about that! It comes off. You may experience tight muscles extending from the base of your neck to about mid-back just above the bottom of the rib cage. stretching is all that you need. my problem was, like you, how in the world do you stretch those? I discovered that I need to do two things (first one first! or you'll get them into spasm): slowly lower your chin to your chest until you feel some stretching pain - hold against light pain for about 5 seconds. Do this at least a couple days before moving on. Next, turn your head to the side, touching chin to the shoulder then stretch opposite shoulder as far forward and down as you can. you'll feel it when you have been successful.
