    I don't have any pics but my arms have been a source of embarrassment for me since I was 13, when I saw a photo of myself in a tank top. I hadn't worn a tanktop, or even a bathing suit, in public since then (and I am now 39, AND I live in South Florida!)... until last weekend! I wore a tank to Walgreen's and no one even looked twice at me and I didn't cringe when I saw myself in the big wall mirror. This is HUGE for me.

    I've been eating at a deficit and kayaking (at least twice a week) for 6 months and lifting for almost 2 months and I am really seeing a difference. And after 26 years of hiding those big ole sausages, this pleases me greatly :bigsmile:

    Great job to everyone who posted pictures. Thanks for posting it definitely gives me inspiration and hope for my arms. That has always been a problem area for me.

    This was about 2 months ago, 90 pound difference. Only did weight training 2-3 times per week and not aggressivley, focused more on cardio. I shifted focus to heavy weights about 5-6 weeks ago and do heavy lifting 6 times a week and reduced cardio to twice a week. See my profile pic for updated arm definition. I know I am only 5 weeks into lifting but the progress has been tremendous and the lose skin is improving!

    Sigh, I have chicken wings - but I am in my 40's and lost 1/2 of my starting weight - everyone's pics look great and I guess for me, there are sleeves and then after a year or so of maintenance, I can decide if I need to do anything there...

    Bump!
    If people have more pix, please do post. Arms are still an area I'm highly concerned with

    omg... I ENVY you. This is so motivating. Did you lift weights?

    I do some strength training but I do not have a weight bench or a gym membership, I do workout dvd's like Focus T25, 30 day shred, insanity, power 90 and slim in 6. Currently doing my 2nd round of Focus T25. :) Thank you.

    This is certainly NOT a before and after, but the top pictures are about 20, 25lbs heavier than the bottom pics (where I'm at now)

    My arms are much more impressive when I flex :wink:

    These are so inspiring, my arms are 11.8", I don't think i'll be satisfied with them until they are 10".
