I've lost some weight, and for some reason my right arm is slightly bigger than my left arm, fat-wise. I am right handed.. so this doesn't make sense to me.

    It's very rare that opposing body parts will be equal in size. Your dominant arm will usually be bigger because of use.

    My right arm, thigh and calf are all slightly bigger than the left, but it's not enough of a difference to notice.
