Arms and Legs... Grrrr...



Recommended Posts

:cursing: Okay so I am so happy to have lost almost 70 punds in five months - my face and my overall health has changed all for the better - but truth be told - my arms and legs still look funky! I would love to start wearing cute summer tops but my arms - oh my! Do any of you have any hidden workout secrets that have helped your arms look good? - Or legs for that matter?

I want arms like Michelle Obama.I guess it means going nuts on push ups, pull ups, weight lifting and that sort of thing.

Yeah. She's proud of them too. It's 30 freaking degrees outside in DC and she walks around sleeveless 24/7. I've only seen her in sleeves once or twice...... Blah......

The younger you are the better your chance of your arms returning to normal. It has a lot to do with the elasticity of your skin. But you'll also have to be patient. It could take a year to a year and a half past your goal. I'm a few months shy of 50, so I don't have a snowballs chance in hell of ever having pretty arms again. At 27, you should do very well.

Yeah the excess skin *sigh* dropping a lot of weight is a double edge sword. I am very happy and thrilled with the weight I have lost but am taken back with the transformation of my arms and legs (to name a few parts) When I was over 300 lbs I was like "I don't care about excess skin" now I am like "ewwwww" I really think the psychological evaluation should come AFTER you start taking off weight *wink* cause man it is sometimes hard to absorb :rolleyes:

Well i think the arms are a little harder to tone than the legs. At least for me. I have found the most wonderful machine in the world... It's called the ArcTrainer. It has really shaped my legs and butt. I use the "weight loss" mode on a low level. I started out only being able to stay on for like 5 minutes and am now up to 45 minutes averaging 3+ miles. I do this 3 to 4 times a week along with some weight training. I have only lost 50 pounds since October but have gone from a size 22W to 16W. So I honestly believe without this machine I would not be getting the results by just losing weight alone.

      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! 😞
