Operation: Blue sleeveless dress. (Added pictures)

[MamaKarrot]

I bought a blue sleeveless dress this weekend for my best friend's (male) wedding in April.  I think I mentioned the wedding a while back?

I found this dress on a whim at Ross, and bought it.  I love it, it's awesome, I need to take pictures - and it fits great.

But it's sleeveless and my arms = jello.  I do strength training on my whole body with 3lb weights once a week but I need to buy some heavier ones or something because I have stopped seeing a difference anymore.  

Any tips? My biceps are decent and toned but my triceps hang to the floor, lol.

Here are some pictures:

I apologize for my morning pony tail and I can't zip the dress up all the way in the back alone lol.

Also, any tips on fun shoes? I haven't bought any yet.

tricep dips....5lb weights. Do you have netflix? I used the crunch strength video on there its with a really buff black dude. My arms look awesome from doing that video....also try tricep push ups...

I was thinking along the same lines.

The dress is super cute!  I'm no good at accessorizing, so I have no clue about the shoes, but I would say heals.

Thanks Tasha! 

I'll try those workouts, ladies.  I'm headed to Target so I'll pick up some heavier weights.  I suck at tricep pushups, but it sounds like I need to work at those haha.

I love that dress! You look so pretty! I hate doing arm dips too. Let us know how the heaveir weights workout for you.

Push ups

Tricep dips

Pull ups (assisted!!)

Have you looked at Sparkpeople.com?  They have lots of good exercise demos.

Of course you know you can't spot-lose (I KNOW you know this!), and the skin might not shrink back, but keep strengthening your upper body, and definitely get those heavier weights.

Cute dress!  I'd say some high back rounded-toe pumps or 2" strappy heels, either in black or silver.  Nude pumps would be cute, too.

your arms look great. my arms are so hangy!  ;)  And I love that dress!  great color too

I'd do NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES with 5 lb weights  :0)  I think you can get it at Target for $9.  My library has it.

I would do a strappy heel in black if it's evening. Day wedding something more fun with some color.

PILATES!

I would say silver :). I'm a silver girl...silver dress sandals or heels with maybe an aqua colored necklace and earrings and throw in an aqua bracelet and silver bracelet.

Great dress!  It looks wonderful on you!  I agree with all the exercises that these ladies have suggested:)  Good luck mama!
