Trying to find new ways to tone my upper arms,



Recommended Posts

Something new I going to tryout... I just installed a app on my phone which is a stop watch. I programmed it to go off every 30 minutes. Once this stop watch goes off I am going to do 40 arm lifts; lifting my arm over my head... hopefully this would help me to lose some of my upper arm fat and toning my upper back at the same time. If I start at 8:00am - 8:00 pm I should have done 960 arm lifts...

Have anyone tried something like this before ? And if so did it help? Are do anyone have any suggestion?

I have yet to be sleeved yet trying to tone up and continue developing lean muscle????

Are you doing them with weights?

I have added muscle to my arms with this routine. I started with 5 lb weights, moved to 10, I am about to move up again.

That app sounds like a good idea. It'll keep you on a routine. Good old-fashioned push ups worked for me in the past. I started by doing them against a wall because I wasn't strong enough to do them on the ground. Then after a couple of weeks I graduated to "girl push-ups", then regular ones (which were still super hard, so I mostly the girly ones). You can switch up th position of your arms to target different areas.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
