Should she just accept her genetics?

[DianaR]

ONe of my friends is having a fit because her upper arms are getting larger.

It isn't as if she is terribly overweight, but all the women in her family have this happen with age. No matter how much she exercises, those arms don't get smaller.

At what point does it become counter productive to work on a body part? When is it time to accept the overwhelming genetic evidence you are faced with, indicating that things are not going to change?

There are things she may be able to do to lose fat in her arms:

• Cut calories, burn more. She'll lose weight everywhere.
• I've actually used Ab-Solution in stubborn areas, and it did remove fat deposits.

  Ab- Solution Plus, 8 oz Your Price: $34.78 Regular: $49.95

• Accent Laser Cellulite removal - Cosmetic Laser | Medical Lasers
• Lipostabil injections - will burn fat site specifically. (I've heard it's very painful).

You can fight your genetic predisposition to a certain extent. We are all a product of "nature & nurture." I suspect that she going to have a tough time of it. It would be worthwhile for her to talk to a really good personal trainer and see what they think. My guess is that this does not truly affect her attractiveness and she could just as easily understand that it's part of her overall package deal

Dang man,
I bet the ladies LOVE you! You've got a great way of looking at these things. I always come at things like this by trying to solve the problem instead of realizing that there may not really be a problem!

Women love it when a guy loves them for what they are, and that was a GREAT way of looking at it! (Just don't get too close to my wife, we may have to fight.) lol

Thanks for the kind words! I promise to stay away from you wife lol

Does it really work in the stubborn areas ? I'm intrigued coz despite my regular workouts I'm not able to reduce on my thighs and its like I'm stuck with it forever and no matter how I try or what I do, it just doesn't work.
Wish there were more ericks around to make our lives easier. For now, I'll try anything that helps me get rid of my extra baggage.

Diana, what did your friend think of our responses? I am curious.

[elvenrunelord]

truer words were never spoken. Women and men to want to be loved for who they are more so that what they look like.

Well,

Losing weight everywhere doesn't appeal to her as that means she loses some of her bustline as well. Right now she is looking at camouflage options like shrugs and wraps.

Thanks for the input, though!

I think that's why most woman "give" up. My aunt is the same way and she diets and excerises and just excersises and all she lost was her bustline.She'd go back and forth with only losing a few pounds here or there.Then she'd eventually give up and get discouraged.All she lost was her bust.Me on the other hand.I'd love to get rid of my bust line a bit and that means I wouldnt have to consider getting a reduction.I lose it and gain it back and tend to lose a bit there first but never enough.
