Chunky arms

We all have things we aren't proud of or happy with. The only healthy last minute thing is practicing positive self talk and being grateful you have a wonderful, strong, functioning body that allows you to do fun things!

You are enough, and your arms don't change that

Push-ups. Every single day find a break to do them this is the quickest way to build arm (and core) strength.

View Quoted Comment Well thank you for that lol

View Quoted Comment Okay I will do that. I only have 2 weeks. For the last 2mo (i just had a baby so I couldn’t do much before then) I have been exercising & eating at a deficit. I do all kind of workouts. Definitely doing weight training w my arms 2times a week plus kickboxing. I just started out boxing on my heavybag again. My dress looks great but my arms are making me self conscious. I tried covering my arms with my dress on but it didn’t look right

I agree with push ups. They work a lot of muscles.
Maybe you can look into adding short sleeves to the dress, but it must done be quickly.

View Quoted Comment Aw man I should have thought about that sooner. Its a little too late. I pickup my dress this week

So like push-ups everyday right? I can do 15 modified pushups in one go before Im burning lol. But regular pushups will work the muscle more than modified right?

You can also look into a Bolero as pictured which is a covering that goes over your arms. Etsy has a ton to chose from. I have an arm issue too and finding a short sleeve dress isn’t easy. Good luck!

I’ve had friends who have had success with the wraps!
2 weeks is enough time for you to have a series of them done. A lot of celebrities do them right before red carpet events

View Quoted Comment Like the herbal type wraps? I think I know exactly what you are talking about.

View Quoted Comment I’m not sure what’s in them, but I know most spas have them. I want to say it was called It Works. The results are temporary, but perfect for an event you need to look good for!

View Quoted Comment Yes those are the ones I was thinking of

I agree with the pushups

View Quoted Comment Yes to push ups… and do regular style multiple times per day…. Increasing reps every few days. Your wedding is quickly approaching so I wouldn’t suggest going so hard that you’re in pain and stiff on wedding day.

View Quoted Comment Thanks. I definitely have been working out my arms regularly so hopefully I wont get too sore. Im definitely starting my pushups today!

Put your shoulders back, this helps "tuck" the fat behind you so they appear thinner. Clasping your hands behind your back or putting your hand on your hip in pictures does the same thing. Pretty much anything to get your arms from laying against your side will create a thinner illusion. Also, just be confident! No one will notice

View Quoted Comment Yes no one else will notice but I will notice in the pictures. I definitely will have to watch my posture all day lol. My FH likes to do the prom pose where you hold hands. It makes my arms look twice the size.
