Arm issues

Does anyone else have larger arms? I'm 5'9 1/2 and have really long arms and larger hands, but it seems like no matter what weight I'm at I always have really thick arms. Same thing with my calves. I know part of it is I'm currently overweight, but even when I was 40 pounds thinner I still had problems finding shirts with sleeves that weren't too tight. Is this just me or do other tall girls have this problem?

I'm also 5' 9 1/2". I find that my arms are always too thin looking. I know I need to incorporate more weights. I do, however, have issues with finding clothes to fit because I have broad shoulders but a thin waist and long torso. So if I buy shirts to fit across my shoulders they are baggy, and if I buy them to fit my waist I feel like the sleeves are cutting my armpits in half. And let's not get started on sleeve length!

I'm 5'10 and a medium (but overweight) frame. I still dont struggle too much with calf size but tight sleeves have always been an issue for me. I take it you are large chested?0

Actually, I'm very small chested (the one part of my body that's petite). My mom is 5'10 and has a similar build and tells me that even when she weighed 120 back in college she still had larger arms and calves.
Back when I was at 165 I could wear mediums easily but would still have to go up a size for anything with long sleeves.0 -
I'm 5'11'' but feel like I'm kind of heavy all over...not huge...just too much bulk. My arms have always been bigger and also my legs...just the way it is. I know if I can lose these 20 lbs that they'll obviously go down...but I'll never have sinewy arms and legs. I'm built more like a tennis/volleyball player vs a ballerina. I'm strong and have muscle...which Iove...just want to lose the weight covering the muscles and firm up the rest! :bigsmile:0

ah, the chest part adds to my equation unfortunately.
I think that with us being taller, we just tend to have larger standards then most. Most womens clothing it made off of a base model that is a size 0-4 and 5'1-5'5 depending on brand, then for the larger sizes they just add inches across and a TINY amount to length.
Its irritating to say the least.0 -
