How can I lose weight on my upper arms? Everywhere else is pretty toned (especially me legs because I'm a runner) but my upper arms are way flabby. I don't want then to be all muscle and huge i just want to get the flab off of them...how can I do this?

lift weights but make sure that they are light, around 5-10 pounds! you wont have huge muscles if you do more reps with less weight!

eh-- thats true anne, in the sense that girls dont get muscles as big as guys do - but it is still very possible, there ARE female body builders who have some pretty big muscles...

you're a girl- even when you lift weights(which is good- muscle is really awesome for your metabolism) you won't build big muscles- yuor muscle will always be slender unlss you take steroids. it's just how we're built. men get buig muscle naturally- it's not natural for our bodies to have huge bicepts so go for the weights and build slender muscles that help out your metabolism!

yep, do exercises, like arm cruches and stuff, but dont use weights, use just youre own arm as a enough weight, or use resistance bands. weights are what help develope big muscles, and when you stop ussing them it all turns back into fat. So dont use them! I have your same problem, and im working with a restance band, like a big long rubber band. its helping!

just do a few push ups and tricep dips. it won't turn everything into muscle, but the muscle will help with the fat problem you have in your upper body
