cI found some in my local walgreens... fraction of a price.. and ebay has some- when you get closer to goal... 

My arms appear fat - while they are rather normal.. the sleeve prevents the jiggle and makes me less conscious...

Kat, at some point, posted about a product called Sleevey Wonders. They aren't quite compression garments or Spanx for batwings, but they are a cover up of some sort that allow a woman to turn sleeveless dresses/shirts into a sleeved garment, which can broaden your wardrobe choices if nothing else. I never got any, but I WANT!

Sleevey Wonders

HA!!  I was just about to post this!  I loved my sleevey wonders -- they really do a great job.  I had black, white and grey.  I don't use mine anymore because they are too big now -- but I used them nearly every day for a while.  

Now, I am always so cold that I rarely have any thing but long sleeves on -- and the fat is gone and the skin folds up easily to fit in any sleeve.  Gross but true story.

Not sure if anyone mentioned Slimpressions yet. I know a lot of people love their shapewear for their arms.

I reached my goal weight at 14 months out. I had my arms done a month later. I could not go on one minute longer with the old lady arms. They affected my mental state tremendously. I figured even if I gained or lost a little it would not affect my arms.

I have nothing to offer here except sympathy, as my arms have always been the only part of my body I hated, even at my highest weight. No joke, last Saturday my husband started using one as a punching bag (yes, I was fine with it, and it was all in good fun). Thank you to all of the above posters for these excellent ideas! I especially like the sheer sleeves you can add to sleeveless things. I wear so many tank tops and cardigans now because regular shirts just don't fit on my arms.
