Your arms don't look as big as mine did, so it's entirely possible you'll get smaller arms at a higher weight
Even though I still carried a good amount of arm fat at 136, I think I was still looking pretty good there. I could have stopped there and probably been happy with my body too (I was a size 6/8 in that picture I believe)...but I'll be honest if I stopped there I would not have been completely satisfied.
There was a magical point though where I swear I just woke up one day and I could start seeing the muscle in my arms. It started as I was crossing into the 120s.
Also I STILL have arm flab, even now because it's just where my body likes to put it. It's barely noticeable at all (and some of it is just extra skin) but I doubt I'll ever get to a point where it's all gone. Other women in my family have the same issue, so I just have to work with what I have
Either way, weight training is really good for you and as you can see it doesn't make you bulky. I always recommend that people do it, as in addition to making you look amazing you'll feel amazing too! It's hard to care about how your arms look when you know that they are these amazing tools that you can kick butt with in the gym.
but the fat had to come from there eventually!
