Good luck. and hey - it is still better than weighing 300 pounds! or whatever.
Heh, totally the genes. I'm like the opposite of you. My tummy is nearly fine except a small bit of skin on my lower abdomen (what does Van call her tiny panni? A panito?), but I am most self-conscious about my arms. They are pretty muscular, too (though not as good as yours!) but there are enough stretch marks and sagging around my arm pits that I don't feel really comfortable wearing sleeveless shirts, which sucks!
