Ok This Might Sound Stupis But How Can You Tell Between Whats You And Hanging Slkin From Weight Loss?

[show1980 38]

I've lost 52 pounds, my arms look like I have hanging skin which I THINK is from the weight loss but I THOUGHT that you'd only get hanging skin from MAJOR weight loss? Should I start lifting weights to elimate this?

Lifting weights helps tone anything. It will help with lose skin and increase your calorie burn as well. It cannot hurt. I know that when I work out my arms and legs, even with being heavy, the shakiness and hanging gets MUCH better. But I expect lose skin will be a problem for me as well.

I have found some good exercises on Youtube for underarm flab. Is that what you are talking about?

Any weight loss can cause loose skin. Look at a pregnant woman who only gained then lost 30-40lbs, but has a saggy stomach. It all depends on genetics, age, and skin damage.

Yes arm flab is what I have:(

Bellies in particular, many women already have a lot of loose skin from oregnancies but it is hidden by their obesity.

If youve ever seen a very thin patient with anging skin, its JUST skin. Most people have a lot of fat too, but its those stubborn deposits that wont budge.

But i dont think you can truly judge till youre at goal (not that you shouldnt do something about it before then if uou can/ want to ). I thought i had a real problem with loose skin under my arms and around the bra line and that all went away. I lso thought if i got thin enough my wobbly bottom would have to go but my BMI dipped to 19 and I still had a wobbly and saggy butt.

I started getting the bat wings at around 40 lost. So I am now doing body pump and it has helped a lot. It also depends on age.When you exercise you also need to do weights. :)Weights are what will help with toning.

Bat wings, I like that! I've been calling mine my lunch lady arms :-0

[show1980 38]

You guys are funny, lol. I contacted a trainer at my Y and explained what was going on and hes going to set me up on a weight lifting program to TRY to help. The only place I can really see the flab is in my arms and it looks Soooo bad, lol

I got a chuckle out of the "lunch lady arms."

I have heard, but not yet tryed it out myself in recent years that Water arobics is a great way to tone without lifting weights. I have been thinking about doing that, but for some reason I cant find a class with younger under 70 members. I am 41 and dont like seeing those old timers kickin my butt at exercise.

"Bat wings". I love it , I've got those and jelly rolls as my nephew calls them banded 3/5 I'm down 20 lbs. Doing some exercising, love zumba but as everything else I want results now, lift some weights also use ankle weights to build the muscle in my leg, seriously considering doing insanity or p90x....I see so many people with dramatic wt loss and no flab. I came into it with flab what to do I know i didn't get this way over night so I know its gonna take time I just want to be doing the right things to get the desired results.
