Well, you could probably predict my problem from the title of the question.


Back in the day (like, 8 months ago haha) I was 190 lbs.... EWWWWWWWW. I'm now around 155. Great, right? Nope! Ever part of my body shrank, I guess you could say, at the same rate, except for my arms.


They're still flabby and fat and huge and UGH! They're just not attractive, and completely unbalance my body.


I lost the majority of my weight the healthy way- exercise. I struggled with an eating disorder for awhile, but it's behind me now and I doubt I did any severe permanent damage.


My routine, which I stick to even today (because I know you need to keep it up, and fitness is a LIFESTYLE, not a fad) was:
- 20-30 minutes running, 5-6 days a week.
- 150-200 crunches
- Pilates 4 times a week or so.
- We have a home gym and I use around 30 lbs to work out my arms. Bench press, butterflys, and something with a pulley bar. 100 reps total between them.


Is there anything I need to modify or add to my routine, or am I stuck with flabby fatty arms for life? Thank you!!

Well you're definitely a female lol. I am sure your arms aren't THAT flabby and you're just making more out of it than it is but we all have weak points and generally for females one of them is their arms; triceps in particular.

Solid routine- very good all around; maybe add in some more arm exercises or increase the weight of what you're already doing a bit as it gets stale after a while if you don't change things up. Losing flab anywhere is going to require even better eating than you're doing now. It's hard work but it keeps you busy :-P
