    Question about arms for the ladies

    Hi
    Just saw a photo of myself from this summer and was appalled at my upper arms! They look very short and fat .
    Just curious what your upper arm length measurement is, from top of shoulder to elbow....if you please.
    Nice thing about photos....they tend to spur you on don't they?

    I just am looking for comparison measurements...I want to know if I'm seeing things or if my upper arms are really as short as they look in this pic.
    Thanks~MorningGlory

    Hmmm, don't know what my length there is. I have definite problems with having thick arms though. I am hoping in the next ten pounds I lose they will thin out some. Maybe as you lose weight your arms will appear longer.

      No one is going to indulge me? I just measured mine and the length is 11.5 inches. It'll take you 5 minutes to measure and post....please?

              Well actually 5 min to measure.. that is IF the tape measure is right next to you, if not then well you have to go get it, which turns into seeing dishes in the sink that you start to wash to emptying the dishwasher, to remembering the laundry you started... etc.

              Sorry one of those moods this morning. Mine is 15in from shoulder to elbow and I am 5'9"

                  It's not the length that bothers me with my arms, it's the flabby, loose yucky stuff that falls off of it that disgusts me. I've been working my biceps, triceps and shoulders. My daughter was so kind to tell me that the jiggly stuff is so much thinner now. I really hope it goes away!

                      Thanks Ladies! That didn't hurt did it?
                      So I guess my arm is normal, just fat. Sometimes photos capture weird angles so I'll leave it at that. Have to remind myself that I'm 44, not 24 as well!
