woo hoo!! congrats! I've noticed the flab on my arms is shrinking also. It gives me great hope that I may not have the horrid bat wings I thought I would. I do know that there will be some skin, but it might not be as bad as I thought. fingers crossed.
I have the belly hang, Its a big issue. You are so right though, its a long journey.... who knows how we will look when we end up,
