Kay, I guess it's time for an update...
So while I am having tremendous difficulty actually making my arms BIGGER, I have seen some progress in fat loss on waist, thighs, and knees (wtf). I am also seeing good definition on my back, which looks more muscled. My calves feel harder (but not bigger), and I am getting a nice defined cap on my shoulder. The backs on my thighs are probably the place where I will have to wait a bit longer to see a bigger difference.
New stats/ measurements:
Height: 5'9" Weight: 150 lbs
1. Bust: 36 (same)
2. Chest: 32 ( 1 " bigger)
3. Waist: 27 (1" smaller)
4. Hips: 35 (1" smaller)
5. Midway: 31 (same)
6. Thighs: 23 (1" smaller)
7. Knees: 16 (0.5 " smaller)
8. Calves: 15 (same)
9. Upper arm: 11.5 (same)
10. Forearms: 10 (same)
Everything just looks better IMO.
Great work for sure everything looks better an inch off your waist kick ass!
nice work, 27 inch waist is not very big! What is your long term goal? Just want to look "better"? Sounds like you have some pretty good stats to me. Whatever your goal is girl, rock on!
oh, and I also thought your cals looked a little low.

Those look like pretty solid measurements to me. Do you know where you are on your BF%? Looks like about 22% to me.
Another update:
Weight 140 lbs
Bust: 34
Chest: 31
Waist: 26
Hips: 34
Midway: 29
Thighs: 22
Knees: 15
Calves: 15
Upper Arm: 11.75
Forearm: 10.5
I'm pretty happy with how I am looking, but I think come the end of the summer I am going to focus on putting on more LBM, as I think the grace period of losing fat and gaining muscle mass is over...

Ideally it would've been preferable to get a professionally done skin fold done in January, but the change in measurements do suggest a desirable body comp change. (i.e. lbm preservation, fat loss)
Calf, forearm, and upper arm measures suggest you've at least maintained skeletal muscle and everything else definitely looks like subcu fat loss. Really nice work, Trex.
I agree that the period of "newbie gains" is likely about finished now, which means it'll become more challenging to effect further desirable body comp change. At this point I'd encourage you to look into finding a qualified person who is trained to use a high quality medical grade skin caliper to establish a sound baseline lbm. Four to six months down the road you'll really love that you did that for yourself.
Thanks RW, I actually looked around and found a place to do just that-I'm going to do that in the next month for sure.
Thanks for the support
