Just received the picture from this year's Christmas Party and it brought back the memories of last year's horrible picture. Here is a side by side comparison, a year apart, 90lbs difference. I do a lot of cardio and a moderate amount of free weights. I am just now getting into the heavy lifting.

So ladies, there is hope, big arms like mine used to be can shrink! And although I have a little bit of loose skin, it's not very noticeable and I am hoping to tone it up with the free weights.

Don't give up, keep going!

    You look amazing! Thank you for sharing! Many of us with big arms that wiggle and wobble when you raise your arm to wave at someone wonder if it will ever go away.

    You give us hope!!!!

    Bless you!

    OMG! :laugh: When I first saw the pic I automatically zoomed in on the Marine because that uniform really catches the attention. (My husband wore that uniform, too.) So I was looking back and forth at the before and after thinking: What the heck? He looks the same before and after! Then I realized it was the lady with him who had changed. Duh! I didn't recognize you, OP! Look at those crazy awesome arms! :love:

    ETA: I guess if I had read the post BEFORE looking at the pic, I would have known. :blushing:

    awesome pic! I'm so glad to see another person that had big arms before and now they look great to me. I have huge arms and often worry about that.
