okay here is what you do:
if your a girl:
when you get a food craving, you get some nail polish, and you paint your nails. by the time that the nail polish has dried, your food craving will have more than likely perrished.
While having painted your nails, this prevents you from using your hands to get food, open food, and hold food.

Maybe ask your parents for a heavier lift. Or do less wieght, more reps. Good luck! Hope I helped!

Try lifting weights more often, and try to lift them different ways (over your head, out to your side, in front of you, regular)
Also try doing pushups!
Good Luck! Hope I helped!

try pushups...even though those are for really toning your arms...

i had to go to physical therapy for my shoulders and they gave me a stretchy thing that you can tie and knot at the end of and stick it in a door. i'm not sure what you would call it. but you can do exercises with that that really work. if you put it at the top of the door and pull it down diagonally towards your hip, or stand with your side facing the door and pull it straight out with your arm farthest from the door (with the material coming out from above the doorknob), or with the material above the doorknob, face away from the door and pull it out of front of you. you can try going to a physical therapist and asking if they would give you a piece..you can offer to pay for it but i'm sure they wouldn't mind. or you could just ask them where they coudl get some. i hope this helps..i thought it would eb a little different than what other people tell you. good luck!

I'm afraid that targeted exercise won't eliminate fat in specific areas. You can build up your arm muscles as much as you like, but the muscle tissue won't break down the fat in your arms; assuming that you use more energy to build the muscle than the food that you're eating, your body will burn fat from all over your body.
That's just how it is.
So if you want to reduce the fat in your arms, you'll have to reduce your overall body fat.
Your best options are to eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and do cardiovascular exercises every other day - that is, walk (fast), or jog, or run, or bike, or swim, or use some sort of cardio machine at a gym. Your cardio workout needs to last at least 30-40 minutes, and more is better.
That will speed up your metabolism, which will make your body burn fat at a higher rate all the time - even when you're sleeping.
On alternate days, warm up with some light cardio exercise (about 15 minutes) and do weight training (muscle building, that is); you can use free weights or exercise machines. If money is short, you can get an incredible range of exercise with just a couple of five or ten-pound hand weights. By toning up your muscles you'll improve your shape and burn more fat.
That includes your arms; although you won't lose MORE fat specifically in your arms by building up your arm muscles, you'll shape and tone your arms, and they'll look better.
Sit-ups are a fine addition to your muscle-building regimen. Just make sure not to hurt yourself, and give your muscles at least every other day off to rest. After weight training, you can do some more cardio, if you feel up to it. But it's important not to overdo it. If you feel pain, stop and rest! And make sure to stay well-hydrated. Drink a lot of water.
As for motivation...one thing that helps is to make a regular schedule. If you know that from 7 to 8 o'clock (or whenever) every day is your time to work out, you're much more likely to stick to it - particularly once you make it through the first few days.
You can develop that habit surprisingly quickly.
The key to all this is to make the changes in your life *enjoyable*. If you don't like it, you won't do it. So if a particular vegetable or exercise is just too horrible for you, replace it with something else! It's much better to replace an element than to get discouraged and give up completely.
Good luck!

Ya know what- i think that as long as you have a healthy diet your arms will thin out over time(dont let em get too thin though) try other things besides weights like push ups and the flexed arm hang- don't worry about it

Good excercises to do are push-ups & also lifting weights as you said. If youre going to do that then lift during commercials when youre watching TV, that way you actually burn calories instead of sitting down during commercials. Also, try the "triceps dip". what you do is sit on a bench or chair and move towards the end then you put your arms back behind you and thats your support. slowly push your butt below the chair and pull up. it might not seem like much of a work out when you start but after doing 50 or more you feel it in your arms. Do these every day and in no-time you'll have firmer arms!
Hope i helped!
