    You look FANTASTIC! Seriously. I share this problem area and I haven't really ever gone sleeveless in public (even when I was much thinner). I love dresses and always have to pair them with cardigans because my upper arms just need to stay under wraps for the time being. I can't wait to get to the point where I'm as brave as you to go sleeveless!

    You look lovely in both dresses and uh your arms look just fine!!!! I don't see any loose skin at all :)

    It's mostly in the underarm area and the dresses and poses are hiding it. It really is there - I likely need surgery for it. Boo hiss...

    ETA: And thanks!
    I have the same issues with my arms!! I'm half way to my goal so I still have some to lose. My biceps look good but then when i lift my arms....ugh!!!!! I hate it!!! You look great in your dresses!!! I hope when I reach my goal I will have the courage to wear pretty dresses like that.

    That is so fantastic. It is my goal to be able to wear a sleeveless shirt in public again after so many years. I hope my arms look half as good as yours do.

    OK, I realize for most people, this wouldn't be a big deal. But, I've never worn anything sleeveless in public (and almost never at home either) except for when I had to be in something like a swimsuit. I, unfortunately, have a large amount of stretchmarks on my arms that make me uncomfortable. Now that I've lost a lot of weight, I decided to try it. Now, my arms still have a long way to go, and now I have a bigger concern of a lot of loose skin in the underarm area. So, I have to really careful on the cut of anything sleeveless that I wear.

    But I did it...I wore two sleeveless dresses on our vacation in Las Vegas and was comfortable and confident in them! No one pointed and laughed or anything LOL. This really goes a long way in making me feel 'normal'

    Oh, and I'm about 8.5 years older in the after pictures...The before was waiting to pick up my new daughter at the international terminal of the airport (adopted from Korea). She turns 9 next month.

    You should have no shame rocking sleeveless tops or dresses, your arms look great! I see great definition even :)
    Girl, put those insecurities that no one else can see away and put those arms on display, you looked fabulous!
