Weight Loss/Size Expectation

[fyyer]

Last summer, I was weighed 215 lbs... size 40 waist... ya.. I was pretty big. Heheheh. This summer, im 175-78, can fit into a 34 waist. great.. so I lost 40 lbs. Would losing about 1 inch in diameter from my arms be healthy? My bench went down a little ofcourse.

In other words, would you expect to lose 1 inch or more in your arms when losing that amount of weight? or did mass go down a little too much in that section?

Have you ever checked you Body Fat percentage? Give us your stats...
This time last year i lost 14 lbs (drug free) and increased my strength. I went from 207 @ 27%BF to 193 @19%BF, which is a lean muscle increase of approx 5lbs. It was very hard work and took a long time (4 months). Good luck!

I'm no expert....

I went from 25% BF to 10%. I lost an inch off the arms.

Fat is all over your body. You loose it from everywhere. So, I'd say congrats on your loss. Don't worry about the arms. If you lost a lot a weight, some of it comes off the subdermal layers of skin.

Trust me. You're better off having 1 inch smaller arms and vasularity than bigger arms that look like they belong to the Michellen Man.
