A member asked:
My armpits are convex and kind of bulge when i raise my arms. my friends laugh at me when they see it. is there a natural way to remove the fat?

Probably not: Unfortunately spot-reduction is a myth. You'd have to lose fat everywhere at the same time. Hope this helps!

No to bullies: I am sorry that your friends are laughing at your fat triceps. Try to lose weight and exercise and the fat will gradually lessen.
