Flabby Arms... Exercising, Now What?



Recommended Posts

Hey yall.

So my underarms are icky and flabby. I work out everyday and do pilates 3 days a week and can see that the fat is visibly being lost in them but they still have that not attractive left over skin.

How can I make that skin tighten up and be more attractive? My mom offered to get me surgery (she is the best) but I want to try everything else first. Its almost bathing suit season and tank season so I wanna be not embarrassed by them anymore.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately when u lose the fat and just have skin left theres only 1 solution and thats surgery ! are your arms the only place u have spare skin ? i have it all over due to the amount of weight i have lost, not sure what bit of me to attack first :)

I have been working on getting the loose skin removed for 2 years and I have had my arms done and I don't even notice the scars any more and have no regrets. I have beautifully shaped arm muscles and love to show them off now that the batwings are gone. Next Monday my turkey neck and wattles go in the medical waste can and I am thrilled. I have nothing against age appropriate wrinkles etc, but were it not for losing all this wt I wouldn't have hanging skin, so I just laugh at ppl who are critical.

Best wishes on your future endeavors.

Mimi

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
