Ive lost 11 pounds already and inches off my waist and stomach but i havent lost inches in my arms..:( my arms are really chubby and chunky and thats something that shows in the summer when i wear tanktops..

the exercises i do for my arms are pilates theres 10 mintue exercies of pilates for your arms but they say its for strength and toning. and with that i use 2 pounds each in my hands. and the other exercises i do is that elastic band i just started that one.and when i do some pilates workout they make you do some push ups or planks....ive been working out for more than a month and nothing in my arms.. :(

what can i do to lose the weight there..do i need heavier dumbbells???

help appreciated :)
 
While I'm all for heavier weight.... what's going to take the fat off primarily is consistency with your diet. If the weight's been coming off steadily.... that's good. Just keep focused and eventually your arms will start thinning out.

Progressively challenging your body with a weight that it's not used to is important though, not so much from a fat loss perspective.... but more from a muscle maintenance perspective.
 
thanks :) ill just have to see how it goes..though when i was younger and skinny my arms were always a big bigger for some reason.
 
That's your genetic 'problem spot.' It must be where your body tends/likes to store fat first and most. These spots are usually the toughest to lose.... simply b/c people get frustrated and quit rather than remaining consistent.

Stay patient and consistent, and your body has no choice but to tap into these spots.
 
i have the same problem. i've lost 5 inches on my waist but my arms are the same. i can thank my grandmother for this. just keep at it and they will go down eventually.
