I'm having a hard time losing weight in my arms and back fat. Does anyone have recommendations for certain exercises? I really hate my arms right now and feel like i'm losing everywhere but my arms.

I do internet searches for those exercises. I use 2 lb weights and do circles and things with my arms as I'm walking, follow a lot of the arm exercises as I run on the treadmill as well.

Exercise does not make you lose fat.

If you exercise, you may be able to increase muscle in the targeted area, but it has no impact on the fat being stored in that area.

Just keep losing, eventually your body has to burn the fat, even in the hard places. Just keep going it, comes off. No spot exercising is going to help. Cardio to burn more calories overall will, or just increasing muscle mass to burn more calories

You have to eat a proper diet with protien to increase your muscle mass. If your definitely wanting to target fat loss...look into a the ketosis lifestyle where you switch your body from burning the normal sugar and carbs as fuel and start burning fat...even stubborn fat. It Works!!! Especially when you've hit a plateau.
This link might help you also speak with your Dr or Nut about it.

      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?

      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! 😞
