Pictures of those creapee arms

I think these two photos show the worst of it.  This is a size 10 I'm 5'7" and 141 today.  But I want you to see the third picture, I think it's a better style dress.  No arms sticking out.  But its hard to find a dress that isn't no sleeve or cap sleeve.  Please, don't be afraid to tell me to rethink this dress because of my arms.

 I just post them to my profile, and then copy/paste them into my post

Thanks, I'll try that now.

WOW - you look great!  I love that pic on the bottom.

Now as far as your arms go- I have some wrinklage going on like yours too - how do they look if you hold them out?  ok?  I wear sleeveless all the time. 

We all have battle scars from being overweight for most of our lives - its SO much better than carrying the weight around, isn't it?

Be proud of your new body - I think it looks great!

Jody, first, love your new avatar pic with your grandchild.  So precious!

Yes, I tell myself that often, that I was overweight for all of my adult life.  I used to say "I can't hide my weight so I might as well wear" what ever.  Now I tell myself I can't hide the fact that I was 100 pounds overweight" so like you said, wear it proud that no longer do you carry the excess weight.  Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I like the 3rd pic/dress the best...more flattering to the whole body, in my opinion!!!

I think your arms look fine in the cap sleeves.

I absolutely love the bottom pictures-you are smoking that dress!!

Thanks Linda.  I bought the dress at Macy's but I've seen it a few dollars cheaper at of all places Lord and Taylor.

Wear whichever one you like the best. I think both look very nice. Also, I think we are much more critical of ourselves than anyone else would ever be!

I would go with the longer sleeves. I think the cut of the dress looks incredible on you, plus I think you will be much more confident in it.
