    Wave your arm in the air if you have a bingo wing it will flap merrily away long after you've stopped waving. It comes from cute old ladies waving their arms about when they have a full house at bingo. Hence bingo wing. :)

    It's quite disheartening isn't it. You put in so much effort for what feels like frig all. Everyone keeps raving about patience so that's what we have to do. Keep at it and wait...

    Its water weight. You are starting a new and heavy exercise regime and your body is retaining water in your muscles for glycogen storage and repair. If you are losing inches and your clothes fit better and you enjoy your new lifestyle my recommendation for fixing your problem.....put the scale in your closet.

    5 weeks in? I doubt she is still retaining that much water for glycogen storage and repair.

    Maybe I misread but I thought she had recently changed her routine

    Um, I feel stupid--what the bleep is a bingo wing?
    This!

    It's the flappy part where your triceps are. You know, when you wave goodbye to someone and slap them in the face at the same time?
