Once a while back I asked a beautiful friend of mine about the floppy arm skin problem. She said her's weren't too bad... and other areas needed a little adjusting.... but..... SKIN WAS IN!!! *ahem Bridge* Rather have bat wings then a cows ass!!!

Smile lol @ Robin

ha ha ha ha ha

It only looks really bad when you have your arm felexed in different positions... like bending over the toilet to clean it... arm skin hangs down.. looks bad... lol

Like Dara said, its all relevant. We are our own worst critics. When I was out with the stapler sthis weekend, a caught a couple of those chicks lookin' at my arm skin. I asked them are you checking out my bat wings, they said yeah, but that they didnt look that bad, they looked good!

So I guess your gonna have to come out and show us your arm skin... lol. Now my ass skin, thats a different story... lol Good thing I can hide it in my pants.

Thumbs up Arms v. Ass

Robin:

I totally agree with you about preferring the flying squirrel arms versus the cow's ass. It's kinda scary...I've glanced at a holstein's ass in the past and thought, "Geez, shave the hair off that puppy and it looks just like mine!"

Hey Dara,

As far as batwings....Mine are coming. I try to work out my arms as much as possible, but I think they are inevitable.

Talking

I will never ever forget as long as I live... Bridge pulling out her ass skin for me..... omg I love you so much girl!!!!! And Dara... I love you too but now I'm going to try and go to sleep without visualizing holsteins hairy ass!!... Here's a story! My sister recently lost some weight.... not through WLS or anything.... but as a surprise for hubby (Hope no guys are on this thread) she decided to shave her pleasure patch. She called me and asked for some tips... I wondered why since I haven't even seen mine in 15 years, but I digress.... I told her what I knew about such things and told her to call me back when she was done. She called back and was all quiet and stuff. I was like "Well?????" She started snickering and said, "It sure as hell doesn't look like I remebered it!!!!!!" HAHAHAHAHA!!!! *snort*......

You know mine are bad when my daugher asks to play with them when she is bored (like in church!) Now you all can get a visual of a fat lady in the seat infront of you with a 4 year old playing with this stuff hanging down out of her arm pit!

But yes, we are our own worse critics and I think we all push ourselves too much rather than sitting back and enjoying the wonderful ride and second chance we have all been given!
