    Just keep on doing what you're doing. Sometimes our problem areas are the last ones to go away. From what you said, you're making improvements in strength, it just will take losing a little more weight. Depending on how much weight you've lost, it may be excess skin which will depend on genetics, age and how quickly you lose weight.

    I'm thinking that will go away once there is more overall fat loss?

    Take a 10 pound weight in each hand lean forward about 20 degrees. Your arms should be parallel with your body, but your elbows bent, so your radius is crossing your midsection. Straighten your arms so your forarm is in the same plane as the rest of your arm. Do not move your upper arm.

    Check out the book "New Rules of Lifting for Women." Talks about how women should lift heavy and forget the "barbie dumbbell" workouts... barbie meaning the whole "high reps, low weights" thing. I'm reading the book now and love it.
