Kathy's Weird Question of the Day

What is up with my arm hair? I swear it is virtually gone. Did that fall out with the hair on my head? But that stopped falling out in late October and has been filling back in. I have arm hair but it seems much much fine, more delicate. It was never coarse or anything darker than blonde to begin with but it is barely noticeable. If the hair falls out all over our body...why did the hair at my bikini line remain totally unscathed? (I won't go anywhere else in that area with this line of discussion - okay, folks... I knew you'd appreciate that. And while I'm discussing arms. I was discussing arms, wasn't I? What is up with those veins. Geez, louise, they protrude. And the worst part... folks had trouble tapping into them for my surgery on the 24th and then again when I had blood work done last Friday. What's up with that? They look big and succulent... Kathy (busy thinkin' too much about nothing...)

Speaking of arms... With all this sagging and bagging going on with my body, I was kind of proud at how my arms were holding up. But over 1 week (at least it seems that way to me - maybe denial?) my arms collapsed! They look fine when they are down by my side, but when I lift them, say.. to adjust my sunglasses... Yucko! saggy baggy bumpy! Didn't think I would ever consider an arm lift, but now... Seriously, I have lost 114lbs, and anything that resembles breasts, gravity has taken over with my backside and thighs - but I wouldn't give any of this up to be where I was 9 months ago!

Oh no, not the dreaded arm collapse! Funny you say that. Mine seemed to be fairing well but I noticed this weekend that it wasn't quite as good as I thought it was. All I can say about breasts is that I look really good in clothing. I can honestly say that. My formerly 46DD breasts roll up just lovely into a 36D bra. The backside is nothing story. The bottom of my arse is gone and in its place is a shar-pei's neck. My thighs... resemble crepe fabric or better yet a broomstick skirt. All these things...I can live with if I have to. It sure beats 109 lbs on this body and all the health issues that came along with it. Kathy

You are sooooo funny. I too have noticed less hair on my arms and on my legs. But the armpits and bikini areas are the same. Bummer!!!!!!!!! Now my veins in my arms aren't protruding, but the ones in my hands are protruding quite a bit now. Weird huh??? Laurie

Laurie, Oh the skin on the back of my hands is so thin...I'm all veins. Actually they remind me so much of my mother's hands.... Kathy

Ya know.... sigh... Only you... So I'm sitting here catching up on my posts for the day and can't pass yours up... And wouldn't you know it... After having to explain to Aaron why I'm suddenly studying my arms with the concentration of a stamp collector, I have to agree. It IS finer and almost nonexistent... I'm speechless. Not sure why... Could be the lack of arm hair... Could be the fact that it never ceases to amaze me what we come up with...

I noticed it one day and figured I couldn't be the only one, ya know. Why not share it with my Maysters! LOL! I was staring at my arm a week or two ago trying to get a side angle to see if I could seen any traces of hair...very, very fine, very, very blonde. I can see every pore too. Very strange. I have no idea when the arm hair disappeared. I still have a few hairs on my toes though if it is any saving grace. LOL! As a diabetic in remission...I was taught by my old endo that hair growth on the toes is a good thing. It means good blood flow. So I take toe hair very seriously. Okay, very seriously in the silliest way possible. Kathy

So funny. I had to roll up my sleeves. Yup, I hadn't noticed before, but my (pale blonde and fine) hair on my arms has definitely thinned. Not bad!! I agree, the veins are really sticking out, especially after a session on the circuit weights. Pumped!! Eileen

Excellent, Eileen! Throw in the pumping iron reference. You bet. I do notice the veins most when working out so that is a great thing. Good observation! Kathy

GollyGee, Me too. I have looked until just now but my arms are almost hairless. Its so WEIRD! Andrea
