    Cannot spot reduce your arms or any place. It will come off when it is ready to come off..

    You can't exercise your arms to death and expect the flab to go away.. won't happen..

    Keep up with the exercises though, when the flab does go away you have some nice definition .... takes time and patience.

    Just keep doing a reasonable amount of exercise. You can't spot reduce fat but strengthening muscle will improve the look of any part of the body, really. Just be patient. :)

    And forgive me if I'm misreading but he gave you a -warning-? Pffft. Rude. If my SO did any such thing I'd give him a 'warning' of my own, alright.

    I'd focus less on my flappy arms and more about getting "un"married to that jerk.

    Eat less and lift heavier I guess. We don't want you to get anymore warnings.

    None of the blame is on you for letting yourself go
    The blame is on your husband because he doesn't find a trait that signifies infertility attractive

    Lol I wont focus on the husband part .. you should of left that sentence out btw ..
    Anyway, lifting a little more would probably help. Since you have back issues, lift like 8 lbs. It's really not as heavy as it may sound. You don't wanna bulk up so don't try to over do it. It will take time just like others have told you. I have been working at transforming myself since September of 2014 and I didn't notice any difference in my arms until I bought a dress for V-day this year. It seemed as if they just vanished over night.

    Cardio and weight training is what got me where I am. It will definitely come off for you with consistency!

    Quit talking about arms to your husband so that he stops being weird. Lifting is good -- not just for the arms. It is possible that yoga will give you the look that you are going for.

    Whoa
    infertility? Never heard that flappy arms could cause this. Is it a medical breakthrough? Will a woman be able to have children if she manages to lose the flappy? So many questions here. I'm stumped. We need a MFP expert meanie to help us out here. B)

    You won't bulk up lifting weights, especially 8 lb weights.

    I find it really offending when guys set the bar up high for the ladies like you davy and the jerk am married too! Bcoz for a fact no one is perfect and you all have ugly sides and we have to live with it

    Sorry to say this but your husband hates your arms? Wow..nobody should say that to their wife o.o

    I applaud you for trying so hard but please try mainly for yourself rather than your husband x

    Davy. I have sort of flappy arms. I have a child. Your infertility point is irrelevant.

    My child and I laugh at you, along with my mother, my 2 sisters, my aunts, cousins, and nieces all of whom have flabby arms and have children.

    30 cm = 11.8 inches

    Just by the measurements, your arms are fine. I would continue with a progressive, heavy lifting program until you can lift as much as your husband weighs, then lift his butt to the curb.

    11.8 inches? Whatever. Mine are 11 inches I think they are slim/nice.
