I had elbow fat at my starting weight of 246.5 (obviously).... I've lost 80 lbs and it actually looks worse now ?!! It seems to be hanging over the elbow now when my arms are at my sides. Did this go away for those of you that reached goal ???

Most likely what you are seeing is not fat but extra skin. I have it to but the more I exercise and tone the better it seems to look. There is still some there but not enough that I would consider brachioplasty--unless I win the lottery!

I do overall toning for arms,abs and legs. Currently I am doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. If you go to a gym there are machines there that can help too. Just it some time too-mine seems to look better now than it did a few months ago.

I am having a brachioplasty and butt lift in Feb.  I hate my upper arms and butt and no amount of working out would build up muscle to the point it would fill in my skin that was stretched to contain my old 300 lb self.  I also had a tummy tuck and breast lift in august.  I can't wait to get the plastic surgery behind me.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you pay for all the plastic surgeries ?? Did you save up, or make payments ???

You are so funny. Your elbows look fine from what I could tell in the latest pictures you posted.
