I'm really struggling with this ... I don't have fat arms or bingo wings - but quite large muscular arms... which look a bit odd on photos ... Any ideas how to slim arms down at all, as all the resistance stuff I am doing just seems to tone them ... but not make them smaller

Thanks :)

    There's no such thing as spot fat loss. Just lose weight overall.

    :) Thanks peeps - was obviously being Optistic. Will just have to keep up with the overall weight loss.

    Yep, just keep up with overall fat loss. If you want to lose the muscle mass you have, the only way to do that is to let it atrophy by not using them. Resistance work will have help you to maintain muscle, so that's not going to make anything slimmer. I wouldn't recommend losing your muscle mass though. Chances are it's the remaining fat on them that's making them look big to you rather than the muscle itself.
