Yup, Body for life. To me it means easy easy food, cardio 30 minutes one day and 30 minutes of weights the next.

I would also like to add, not to burst any bubbles or anything-but you seem to be pretty hourglass shaped, and it looks as though when you were heavy that you tended to carry a little weight in your upper arms. I am the exact same way.

The reason that I am mentioning this, is that I don't believe that you still have "fat" in your upper arms. It looks to me like you might have a little loose skin, from when you were over 200 pounds. If you are a 5/6, and going by the rest of your body-I would assume that this is what is happening. If this is the case, it will not go away. The same often happens when you have a baby-the skin is stretched over the baby, and when you have it, and lose weight-you can get small again, but your tummy skin isn't as "taut" because it was stretched out. Kindof like when you blow up a balloon all of the way and hold it like that for a while-and then let the air out-it is never exactly like it was before it was ever blown up.

All you can really do for this is to keep lifting. It won't tighten the skin, but it will give a better shape under it, which helps a lot. Personally though, I think they look absolutely great considering your starting weight.

Beach Patrol... I shop at Aeropostale, Goodies, and Belks. Its pretty consistant at 5/6. If I find a pair that doesnt fit, they are too tight in the thighs. Then I just get a 7. I just weigh heavy its not the places I shop. When I was a size 12, I weighed 190lbs, size 11 180's size 9 mid 170's size 7/8 at 160's and just recently size 5/6 yet I am STILL in between 158-163.. aye

As far as my arms.. I have noticed that they have tightened up alot more than before, there is some skin, but I can pinch a lil' more than an inch which is definitely fat. All the women in my family have "big arms" muscular.. which Im cool with, I just need to fat burn. Its not just in my arms, its in my inner thighs and mid tummy too.

Yes, but a 100 pound+ weight loss is going to leave you with more than an inch of skin in areas where you tended to hold fat, 'tis all I'm saying. I have it in my upper arms, tummy, and thighs as well.
