My face is looking long and such.... which is weird and my upper arms seem to have little hope at the moment. going to go get my cardio on though and see if I can slim it out some more.

    Can def see results. For the arms start lifting, the "bat wing" that we all hate you can tone doing tricep workouts. Lifting 2-3x a week will def help :) keep up the good work, you're doing great

    Looking good! Keep on improving! There is a big change in your face and upper torso, and I can see some more definition in your legs. :)

    TYAVVVVM! I guess I'm a bit sensitive about my batwings. They look really big in the picture, but if I was to hold my arm out to the side, you would see that a large percentage of it is just nearly empty skin that's hanging there. I've been working on triceps and biceps and weight loss in general, but I do think there will be a brachioplasty in my future. From my bicep, hanging down is a deflated 4.5" of skin. It's rather disgusting and all covered in stretchmarks. That's a bridge I'll cross when I get there, but trust me, I've been checking out the best options for that surgery one day. I think my stomach skin will go back fairly well and my thigh skin once I build more muscle. My arms.... I dunno. I do have this idea though... once I get to my goal weight, I will work for another 6-8 months on toning then give it another year from that point for more skin shrinkage. I think it takes a lot longer than I assume for the skin to come along with the weight loss and I want to give it time to 'settle' before considering any surgery.

    You are doing very well! So proud of you. I would definitely give the arms time to settle before considering surgery as well. Smart move. :) XOXO
