    General diet plan. That's it. It's that simple. You lose it all over

    Yep, general diet will take it off naturally all over, including the arms. I tried arm exercises because my upper arms are huge, it takes a lot of work regularly just to see a tiny bit of change, he he. I see more change in my arms from weight loss as compared to exercises.

    you cant choose a specific place to lose body fat... but you can build up your arm muscle, which will replace that fat with muscle and make it look leaner

    Since your eating less than you should and not having enough protein. This is pretty much what you will end up with...

    dips, pull ups, bunch press, close grip bench press, squats, deadlifts, and overhead press..

    if you seriously want to build muscle, and lose stomach fat, then these are your workouts..
    the more muscles you work, then harder your body works, and the more calories you burn.. dont waste time with situps, when you could strengthen your core with these workouts.

    good luck man

    EXACTLY! If one can avoid having excess skin, why not make sure they are aware of it? Why would somebody resent people on MFP for ensuring we are all informed? Constructive criticism, advice, thats what we are here for. That includes ALL aspects of fitness and weight loss. Even I have worried about my tummy and excess skin, that isn't anything against those who have had major weight loss in an area and do have excess skin! Congrats for losing all that fat in the first place!

    We are not talking about those folks. We are talking about skinny fat. When you lose a good amount of muscle along with the fat. So you are left with no definition, saggy skin, and little muscle.
    Was not talking about those who have lost a lot of weight and resulted in saggy skin. That is a different story!
    This is avoided by a moderate reduction of calories, resistance training, and hitting set macros.

    Read my above post. We are not talking about the "bigger" folks that have saggy skin as a result of a large weight loss. We are talking about something else! :flowerforyou:

    i am afraid to tell you it is not always avoided,no one(no matter how much exersice they do) have the ability of avoiding it(you can tone it) not avoid it!
    it is down to smokers or not,genes,age luck basically!
    i wasn't getting on at you sunshine personally :flowerforyou: (as i am a troll)! :devil: it was the names more so!
