I've been thinking about arms lately. My biceps are 14 inches now. They were 16 inches at my highest. I love weight lifting, so I am sure I will have plenty of muscle, but I am wondering how small I can expect my arms to get (12, 10, 8 inches....?). You never hear much about arm sizes like you do about busts, waists, and hips.

For those of you who have lost a lot of weight, how big were your arms when you started and how big are they now? Are you happy? I've seen some pictures of lapbanders with great looking arms from workouts (TamifromAl) and from brachio (Enterprise), but I have no idea how big their arms actually are.

I'd love to get some feedback from folks....

Sorry to be anal. But I had to fix it because I was at 35 lbs lost when my arms were that size. I'm down 13 more lbs since then - they are probably smaller, but I don't have a measurement, yet. Just wanted the numbers to reflect accurately for my weight vs arm size.

Perfect Steph! I waffled on that. I was taking people's weights off their ticker. I understand your logic. Glad you fixed the chart.

OK, so I had to measure today. LOL I'm at my 50 lbs lost mark.

I forgot to measure my arms when I started this journey... But after losing 43 lbs it all seems to have mostly come from my lower body, and my boobs. the arms seem to be the same to me, hubby says they seem a little smaller... But I just measured them and they are 15...

Hello - thanks for the invite Foofy lol

I'm not entirely sure of my current measurement so I will retake that when I get home. My arms were several inches bigger than now but I didn't take starting measurements - not sure why (guess a little more denial there).
