Topic: RE: Hanging Arm Fat!!!
Cherilyn,
My batwings are flapping even as I'm here typing
ARRRRgggggh - yuck - I've not found anything that will make them go away - I'm not ready to check into PS just yet - Plus I'm terrified that ins will not cover any of it and I'm not ready to hear that for sure.
If you find the answer - please let me know.

Topic: RE: Protein
My main drink is Crystal Light so I wanted to find a protein that would go with that. I use GNC liquid protein punch flavor. I use 9T in 24 oz of pink lemonade CL. I drink half in the am and half about an hour or so later. It gives me 54 grams of protein. Then, I usually have one protein laden meal a day and the rest is just a snack here or there. I'm getting at least 90 grams of protein a day. I have also upped my liquid intake to try to get in 90 oz of water as well, with a goal of 120 oz of water or Crystal Light. The days I do that and exercise, Ihave good weight loss.
Topic: RE: Hanging Arm Fat!!!
I've got it too and you find an answer, let me know. I've lost 127 lbs and sometimes I feel like it was all in my arms or wings as I call them. Very disgusting. It's the only PS I would think about paying for myself. I'm told it costs like $3000. When I get to goal it might be worth it just to be able to wear the right size clothing. A lot of tops haven't taken into account that some women have wings instead of arms!
Topic: RE: How many Calories?
Hey Terri,
Its so funny how different all of our docs and nuts are? I asked at support group too and the doc and nut said take your current body weight, multiply it by 10 and subtract 200-300 calories and thats how many cals you should be eating to loose. That is for an active female they said. Anyways thanks for the advice!!
With love,
Em
Topic: Hanging Arm Fat!!!
Sorry about the title but I feel like I have to be blunt. Does anyone know what to do to get rid of this! I know there is surgery...and there are kick backs with free weights but is that it?
Also overall body toning and losing...what is the ultimate and most efficient...swimming, pilates...or something else?
I'm going up and down a bit...92 down is my highest. I'm not always doing the greatest and have to keep more on track...I've joined Weigh****chers and that works for me I've missed a month b/c of essays, exams and going away.



Topic: RE: Dont want to lose nay more weight!
I haven't gotten there yet. I want to lose more. It isn't like I need to lose a lot more but I just don't like where the weight is at right now. Everyone tells me if I lose anymore weight I am going to disappear but they honestly don't know. I know that if your ready to maintain then your going to have to get on a maintainence plan. Like when your on Weigh****chers and you reach your goal and you start maintaining. I think your best bet would be to discuss this with your nutritionist. That way he/she can explain it to you. Give you idea's on what to do and help you not get discouraged if it takes a little bit for you to get it right where you are comfy.
I wish you the best.
