I could be an airplane....

[Guest ASPHALT ANGEL]

I am scared to go out in the wind for fear I will take off!!!

I started Delarla's challenge and have been doing really well but now my arms have gone from big and firm to way, way flabby. They hang down really bad now...looks like I am 80....yuk. I have been doing all of my exercise on the treadmill but was wondering if lifting weights would help this flappy airplane wing look I have going on. And if so what type of arm exercises do you recommend? Is anyone else seeing this happen to them?

HELP!!!!

No one else has wings? hmmmmm...

I'm convinced if I could coordinate the efforts between my arms and my thighs I could fly! Not a good one to ask. I'm wondering the same thing.

Oh boy do I have bat wings. Some times I hear applause, I turn around and no one's there.

I've gone up and down so much with my weight that I don't believe there's any help for me but I do know that it can take a few years for the skin to snap back...so keep up with the exercise and see.

There's got to be some websites for bat wing exercise... I'll check into it later.

I have them too. & mine have also gotten worse since the challenge. Seems like I found some exercises to combat flabby arms on the prevention.com website. Maybe it's the fast weight loss? I dunno, but it sucks!

Hmmmmmm, I'm just wondering....would you all rather have the full, fleshed out arms back???? *wink, wink*

No WAY!!!

At least I can wear a long sleeve shirt and hide them.

I also wear long sleeve shirts but when summer hits I would like to be able to were short sleeve. Maybe by then I willbe close enough to goal to have surgery if that is what is needed. I am starting my arm exercises. I bought a pilate ball that has strap on elastic bands that you can use for resistance, I actually enjoy doing them...kind of relaxing. My son gets his huge beach ball and lays on the floor with me and tried to copy what I am doing..he is 22 months so it is cute watching him.
