Hm, another thing I just remember is this:

You first lose weight in places where you tend to gain first (abdomen, chest, thighs are popular). So, I think arms are one of the last places in the body to start losing the fat. It will adventually happen for all of us !!!

what sweet scrumptious wrote above really makes sense to me

im trying to lose the 35 or so lbs i gained in the last 2 years, and it wasnt until right before i started trying to lose weight that i even noticed my arms were growing... and growing. now i cant stand them! but i think i gained weight there last for sure.

also - ive noticed sooooo many people writing about their arms lately. at first i was like maaan i guess its just one of those things i never realized everyone shared, but what i think now is that SUMMER is COMING and we're all freeeaking out to go sleeveless! haha, not really, but just when you're covered in sweaters its harder to notice and now we're all taking note.

so i just want to say - 1. we're all here moving in the right direction and 2. it's never as bad as we think it is (even if it's pretty bad).

I feel the same way. My arms have always been one of my problem spots, back when I was 230 lbs and even now that I am 170. My upper arms I feel are significantly larger in proportion to the rest of my body. And I am always frustrated when spring/summer comes having to deal with short-sleeve tops. I wouldn't be caught dead in a sleeveless top but it's even getting hard to find decent short sleeve tops. It seems like the style is the cap sleeves or very short sleeves and my arms look positively horrible in that. I was just out shopping today and was thrilled that every size 14 bottom that I tried on fit great but then could not find a short sleeve top in 2 entire stores that had "normal" length sleeves. So when I do find something that is good, I end up buying it in several different colors. For a while it was the Old Navy basic tee but now every single one of their tops this season has micro short sleeves. I resorted to buying a mens Old Navy graphic tee this year as I liked the color and design and it had normal short sleeves.

I HATE MY ARMS, I HAVE LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT AND GONE A SIZE DOWN BUT THEY ARE STILL THE SAME, I try on dresses which look really good but I don't buy them because my arms are just TOO HUGE in them although I have a small waist and stuff, its so annoying!!

DITTO to all of the other posts above..

Are you convinced?

I have the same batty wing arm problem myself! I hate them! lol.

I've been really getting into weight training and do several extra sets of biceps & triceps exercises several times a week to firm up as much as I can on those pesky flabby arms of mine!

I'm fully aware I may not be able to get them as "small" as I'd like, but dang it I'm gonna try!

yes your arms will eventually get smaller, it take time to lose weight, just like it took time to gain weight. another thing you want to do is actually is some weight training with dumbells and machine that will help and it will define your arms also..
