P.S. i've lost 80lbs doing the routine that i just told you plus ALOT of interval Cardio. IF ANYBODY SAYS MY ANSWER IS WRONG THEN COME TALK TO ME.<br><b>References : </b><br> first off ur doing a wonderful job with the weight loss. sounds like ur doing alot of things right so just keep up with it..my recommendation with the upper body is to do light weight lifting but more reps. and do about 5 to 6 sets and resting no more that 30 seconds in between. this works greatly because your not building muscle your just toning the ones that you already have this routine focuses more on burning the fat rather than building muscles. go to the gym and carefully read the instruction of the machine you want to use it will tell you what specific muscle group it isolates.

Big breasts, flabby arms, even a flabby neck (I think) and a tire around my belly...but my legs, hips, thighs, etc have always been smaller. This past year I lost 30 pounds going from 210 pounds to 180lbs and I am still trying to lose an additional 30 lbs before my wedding in June. I have ALWAYS had an athletic body and been into sports but as I got older and less active, I began to get VERY heavy topping off at 210 lbs this past January. It is now my 30th year and I am making plans to get married and would like to lose all the weight and be healthy on a PERMANENT basis. I started out with just cutting out sugar and anything fried and walking briskly for a half an hour 3 times a week. Then I gradually built up my exercising regimen while still eating very healthy. Now I work out 5-6 times a week by doing a speed interval routine on the treadmill (run for 8 minutes, walk briskly for two minutes, continue the cycle) for 40 minutes as well as strength training for 20-30 minutes. When I first started strength training, I was using free weights at home. Now I am using exercise machines at the gym. It is important to me that, while I lose all the weight off my body, my body stay toned and firm not flabby. I see great changes in my body. My bootie has firmed and lifted, my thighs are more muscular, and my arms are started to shape up and firm. HOWEVER, like I said before...I am top heavy. Although I have lost weight in my arms and stomach area, my legs and butt have DRASTICALLY gone down and I want my upper half to do that too! My boyfriend told me that if I lift weights, my arms will muscle up and remain big. I dont want that. I want them to lose inches and TONE. I also want to tone my shoulders, make them smaller...as well as my tummy. I heard that i shouldnt be doing any stomach toning exercises until all the weight comes off because, like the arm thing, your tummy will harden but will stay BIG. HELP! Im still fairly new to this exercising thing and I want ALL my body to slim down, not just my bottom half! I LOVE to run and know that is a good way to slim down the WHOLE body, but what weight machines should I be using to work on my arms, NECK, shoulder, chest and stomach?! I have a top-heavy body and recently lost a bunch of weight, but how do I keep my body proportionate?
