    After Almost 2 years I admit defeat.. I don't know what to do anymore

    @evnwlsn Your shoulder gains though!!! Unfortunately this looks like loose skin to me :( not an expert but building some muscle here (lift heavier, lower reps) might help but I think you need to ground your expectations a bit! I will also say that most women dont have ‘slim’ arms unless they...

    @maria37 Thank you! Yes, I’m working on letting go of the tiny details and I do realize its within the margin of error. Working toward eating more and gaining more muscle!
