    Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

    i walked 1.5 miles again on 6/4. 22 miles to go for june. i started doing my measurements on last night but stopped. the issue im having is flab. i dont understand how im losing weight but my measurements are increasing in my arms/thighs. with the arms im guessing they've gotten longer b/c the fat is going but the skin is stretched so its staying. i need to do arm exercises i guess. not really sure what to do at this point but i know im not measuring for awhile. any advice on flab???

      daqui, I hear you..totally! Since I had my baby, I've lost about 50 lbs, 20 of them on Atkins. However, my upper arms measurements are still the same. I hate that ugly flab hanging from beneath my arms. I do strength training for my arms at least 3 times a week and still no difference. I am really concerned about this and afraid that I might end up like those people of TV who are left with lbs of skin hanging all over the place after they lose weight. Oh, don't take me wrong, I only have this problem there and somewhat in my inner thighs. Yukks!

        hi all

        just doing a check-in. i didnt get to yesterday. i've been to the park 4 days in a row now. i have some hand weights and im going to start doing those soon due to the arms isue im having. im really in need of trying to stay off of the scale. i need to try to stay off until my next weigh in which is monday the 11th. wish me luck b/c im going to have my husband hide my scale b/c im getting discouraged because of it. i need a scale challenge too, weigh 1 a week.

        later

            Hi all, I missed my weigh in and measurements on Monday, as was at a funeral. So I'm going to wait until next Monday.........

            Well done Julie and Elsy on your losses........

              Good to see you back Joy and Perfect.

              Hey Joy, so when did you start noticing a chante in your inner things? How many lbs lost after they started getting smaller? Just curious, cuz mine are exactly the same since 50 lbs ago. I can't go to the gym but willing to do anything inside my house to work on them. Any suggestions? What about for upper arms (underneath flab)?

              Any tips would help. Thanks.

                Well....my legs are the last place I lose. I lost some right in the beginning and then nothing for a long time. It's only been in the last 15 lbs I'd say that I've seen the biggest difference. I'm a pear shape...so that's the last place for me to lose. Apple shapes lose in the limbs first and in the torso last.

                  Well I'm an apple shape which is pretty much a circle. What does that mean, that the last place I lose is "all around?" hahaha.........LOL!

                  Anyway, and now for some good news. It's weigh in day for me. I decided to wait until the end of TOM, so here it goes hoping that my extra water is gone by now.

                  Lost 2.5 lbs and 2.5 inches this week. How weird is that
                  Totals since I started the challenge: 22.5 lbs and 21.5 inches.

                  I still have 7.5 - 8 lbs to go to meet my 4th of July Challenge goal and the clock is ticking

                              Hi Julie - 3.5" again, thats really great. The 1lb gain is only muscle, and its only your imagination that makes you feel boyish. You are definetly a feminine girl!

                              Weigh day for me tomorrow! I'll be back with results..
