Ladies,

I hate the pad of fat that I have just above my elbow.  Did anyone else have this and if you did how did you get rid of it....

ALSO

why is it when I try to upload photos onto my OH pics...it works sometimes and other times all I get are little red X marks....it's beyond frustrating for me.....UGH!!!

Had it 200 pounds ago...still have it.

My arms are horrendous. It is 105 degrees around here and I wear 3/4 length sleeves.  I hope I find the money to fix them soon.  Hate them.

When my arms are down at my sides the roll hangs over my elbow.  Did I say...HATE it.

In had that too! It was gone when I hit my goal weight. I started at 330 pounds. When I hit 150 I noticed it was gone. I am not a young chick who has elastic skin - I am 40 - and don't get my wrong - I won't wear a sleeveless top as my arms have bigger bat wings than bat man - but the elbow fat is gone!

I'm pre-op and scared to death of the excess skin thing. Not that all of you don't look great after loosing so much, skin or not.
I'm 35 and at my heaviest weight, I know I will have a ton of excess skin. My insurance covers reconstruction surgery but I don't want to come out with so many scars I look like Frankenstein's Bride.

Is there any way to prevent excess skin through exercise or weight lifting?
Just curious.

I have that too, and bat wings to beat the band!  I don't cover them up or hide them.  When it's hot I wear sleeveless tops, I don't care.  A couple of times I've noticed people looking at my arms with a strange look on their faces, oh well! hahaha  I worked hard to lose weight, so if my bat wings cause a stir I'm not worried about it.  I will get them surgically removed someday just because they are keeping me from wearing some blouses.  To each their own, I just don't get too fired up about things like that.

 Highest weight 360  Day of surgery 289 Current weight 200

Yes I have it too and I hate it!  I really hoped it'd be gone by now but it's not yet.... I hope by goal it is!

Apparently I do, or did moreso before.  I tend to put my elbows on my desk a lot and if I'm not careful and move them wrong I pinch the skin there.  Oww!
