I need a excercise tip!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know a good exercise that will help tighten the muscle in my upper arms ( or as I refer to it my wings)? I look at myself in the mirror when I am combing my hair and am starting to see this flabby skin hanging there. Its not too bad yet but...I sure dont want it to get any worse!

Here are some pictures of kick backs and over head drops which work the tricep muscle. Push ups help also, you can do them against the wall.

I need an exercise buddy. I can't wait to move. I will be moving into a house and I will have so much more room.

I use my 5lb dumbells every night on my arms while watching TV for 15 minutes and have noticed a huge difference....it does not get rid of all the flabbines but there is a difference

Tricep dips on the edge of the couch or on a step or something although you may need to do dumbell exercises first. But I find once you can get to the point where you can do a full push up or tricep dip and use your bodyweight for resistance you get results REALLY fast.

I saw a report on a current affair type show a few weeks ago talking about a study done here that showed Tai Chi was great for 'bingo arms'... I've got them too :/

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
