in Health and Weight Loss
I'm 5'1 with broad shoulders. I have lost a total of 37 lbs so far and have about 30ish more to go. I'm noticing a HUGE difference inmy legs and midsection and everywhere. . . but when i wear a tank top, i dont feel very confident bc my shoulders are so broad, not to mention i have big arms too, which i'm working on. I have big boobs, so, to me, it makes it look worse. sometimes when i get ready for the gym, wearing a tank top makes me feel ugly/manly, bc of my shoulders. . . i've been working on my arms ALOT lately, trying to tone those up . . . . how do you "deal" with it? I feel like a muscle man, sometimes. . . i have a smaller waist and broad shoulders. It's weird lol . ... I'm REALLY noticing it now that i'm losing so much weight. .... any help or advice or ANYTHING would be GREATLY appreciated! (i know I repeated myself, but It's such an issue for me)... Thanks in advance :happy:

    The only thing I can suggest is choose clothing that will not accentuate it so much.

    I have the same problem. I'm 5'3 and have broad shoulders and fat arms too....I never wear anything sleeveless. I'm hoping when I drop these last 25 lbs, that I'll feel confident enough to do so.
