I want to wear my tank tops, and bras for that matter, without that bit hanging over. Are there things that can help or is it a matter of losing the fat (calorie deficit I know)?

Unfortunately you can't spot reduce. It comes off where it wants to when it wants to.
Strength training may help though.0 -
Just lose overall body fat.
Best practice is to lift weights 2-4x a week.
Get optimal sleep.
Eat a healthy balanced diet.
Walk more or move more in general.

I'd really like to lift, but I can't go to a gym. I have 5lb weights. I can't really get anything heavier but I can probably get a kettlebell if there are good ways to use that.0

Look up Convict Conditioning.
Use stuff around the house - fill milk jugs with water or sand.0 -
Consider a TRX suspension system. It can mount on your door and be put away in a bag when done. Also can do lots of different body weight exercises.
I don't sell it, I just use it with clients and have had great experiences with it. It's pretty affordable and you can take it just about anywhere to workout.

You can tighten up the muscles in that area with overhead pull downs and/or pull ups. Should give you a little lift.0

Yes! Here is a very simple move that will instantly & painlessly get rid of the dreaded "armpit fat":
Step 1: Walk into a reputable bra store & have them fit you with your correct bra size.
Step 2: Wear it!
And that's it! Works like magic! :flowerforyou:

$ and my kids. I can only work out in the evening and can't leave them (no sitter). I can't get big heavy equipment because we're also prepping to move with the military and have limited space and weight allotment. Plus the whole $ thing. Lol0 -

Totally understand! The suggestion for TRX is great or look into body weight exercises as well!0 -

I was going to suggest this as well, best thing I ever did. Expensive, but worth it.
also all the workout suggestions-but seriously, start here. And then get refitted every 20 pounds you lose.0 -
I'd like to see a picture of it - the bit...0
-
I had the same problem.
But the last 5 lbs I have lost improved that issue a lot ! as in over an inch.
Be patient.
Might sound strange but until that underarm fat goes away try applying Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer to your underarms/and the hang over stuff. Everything looks better tan, right ?
It really helps with sleeveless tops.
Good luck.0 -
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into the TRX too. I do need new bras, but I'm hoping to hold off since I'm still somewhat nursing and my sizes will be changing over the next few months (pretty sure I went down a cup size :-( )0

If you already have a husband, why are you wearing tank tops and losing armpit fat to sleep with other soldiers? I mean I get that you want to serve the nation with the one talent that you have (lying on your back), but kind of rude to your husband....0 -

My apologies, I was unaware that "tank top" was code for "need to cheat on my husband". My bad.0 -

Why do you want to look good for him? He already married you and he is unlikely to divorce you because you'll take him to the cleaners with your alimony and child support payments and you probably won't grant him a divorce so he'll have to live with his mistress in sin until the divorce is finally over.0 -
Yeah, looking at your posts you're just going around stirring things up. Have fun with that.0
