......and all of shirt sleeves in my exsisting wardrobe are shrinking!

Or is is that my "guns" are getting bigger through Cathe workouts.

Teehee. Teehee.

But seriously - anyone else noticing that our arms are larger than the sleeves?

YES!! Not only in the arms, but in the back as well. I'm at the point where stretchy knit shirts are the only ones that are comfortable and fit reasonably well.

I tried to buy a button down oxford-style shirt the other day...by the time I found a size that fit me in the arms and shoulders, it looked like a maternity shirt on me in the front...I guess I'll just stick with knits...
 
Yep, I am also having this "problem". I wear a lot of t-shirts, and I have to stretch the sleeves and shoulders in the morning when I first put them on!:)
 
Oh yeah!!!! I have a terrible time now that it's long sleeved weather. I can't wear the Junior sizes, the arms are too short and tight in the shoulders! :eek: I like the active fit styles, they seem to make them more for an athletically built person!

I guess we could just wear tank tops all winter. ;)
 
That's what I do, Jess. Throw on a cardigan and I'm all set:) I like knits and shirts with modal fabric too-it's nice and stretchy.

Yep. I'm a t-shirt addict ("My name is Jodi, and I am addicted to t-shirts..."). The only way I can wear them in the winter is under a hoodie. So I guess I'm a hoodie addict too:eek::p!

Too funny. I'm addicted to v-necks, I admit it!! And yes, when I get chilly it's always a hoodie! I guess it's better than my 95 yr old great aunt with a million old lady sweaters! :p

Yeah, but when we get old, will hoodies become the new "old lady sweaters"??:eek: ("Oh look at old Aunt Jodi wearing another one of her hoodies with the skulls on it. People sure used to dress funny.") HA!

edit: I don't really have a hoodie with skulls on it. But I could!

That is hilarious!! I'll never look at my hoodie the same. I bought the coolest black shirt w/ a skull & crossbones on it at Halloween, I love it! :p (It's my profile pic for my Facebook page right now! LOL)
 
I feel your pain!

Big arms already sort of run in my family. I have relatively more fat in my arms than the rest of my body...add in the weight lifting and no sleeves fit me.

To make matters worse, I just moved to Mexico where people are very small. I thought this would be great since I'm petite (2-4P). But I swear the sleeves here are for child arms.

I found the cutest dress for Halloween, but the elastic sleeves were cutting my circulation off. I'm going to have to start making my own clothes!
