Arms?

tapshoes · September 7, 2008

Sadly, although the weight is coming off (slowly) and the exercise is helping the rest of my body, my arms are still endowed with batwings. However, as the journey isn't over yet, perhaps this too will change.

My arms <spit> Lawdy my arms <spit> being fat they were large but I am SHOCKED at the condition they are in, at this rate I may get surgery on my arms before my tummy! I knew things would not be pretty as I dropped the weight but Lawdy mercy!
** Boo Boo you look great!

Thanks! :thumbup:

Laurinda--and of course, we live in FL where you can wear sleeveless almost all year round! With my arms, I may move to Minnesota!

(of course, on a good windy day, I just spread my arms and aim for where I want to travel. Lift off! I am saving so much $$ on gas!)

(To my Jewish sisters, my own sister calls them Hadassah Arms!)

I guess I better join a gym now!! My arms have been my biggest concern through this entire process ( I have already started saving for plastic surgery!) It does make me feel better to know though that weight training will help with some of it. Good luck everyone!

Hey all! I am getting banded in almost a month. I am a little nervous about wha tmy body will look like once the weight is gone. Primarily - I am worried about my arms! LOL! I know it seems trival with losing weight - but I would hate to lose this weight - FINALLY - and still have my arm jiggle. Has anyone noticed that their arms get smaller without needing plastic surgery? And if you have had plastic surgery - wpuld you recommend it?

I think everyone is going to have a different experience. I know mine will never look like Boo Boo's. Hers did not look bad even when she was heavy (heavier than I am now pre-op). My arms are going to look awful and the plastic surgery they do on them still leaves a long ugly mark. I guess we have to weigh all the options.

AWWWW thanks! I beg to differ with you that they weren't bad before, but I appreciate it!

I think with the RIGHT PS it could get better but I think you have to be very careful, believe me with all of my PS problems I am the last one to advocate surgery! lol...

Good luck to you all!
