Default Losing weight on face and arms

Hello everyone!

I am worried that I will not be losing weight on my face and arms. I initially registered on the site early this year, but my weight fluctuated and I ended up gaining a few pounds. I am now at 139 and struggle to lose 20 pounds or so. I have a round face and my arms got bigger. Are there any exercises I can do for my arms? Also, will I lose weight on my face, too? I tend to get discouraged when I don't see results and eat when I'm stressed, therefore I'm not losing..but hopefully I can turn this around. Thank you for any answers!

Don't focus on specific body parts. Focus on losing the weight you want to lose and the arms and face will take care of themselves!

sometimes some areas come off slower than others but eventualy you will see a difference everywhere, so dont give up!. Its also very hard to notice weight loss in areas like your arms and face, as you can't go by clothing really, so you only really have the mirror to go by and its hard to notice weight loss when you see yourself on a day to day basis.

The fat comes off where it comes off when it comes off. Working out a certain area can help to tone that area and make it look better, but it won't make the fat come off that specific place. I'm afraid you just have to be patient. I feel ya. I wish I could choose where it comes off first too!
