*Sorry for the typo in the title
Hi there. I have been weight training for about a month now , and feel stronger, although I dont see much progress. I have had a hell of a time medically during this college journey, and I want to push a little more to wear a sleeveless and backless dress for graduation.
I am having issues seeing results in the most important areas, and I would like suggestions on how to be efficient as I can be these next 7 weeks.
The main areas are:
Wings on my upper arms (from prolonged Prednisone treatment for my medical issues)
The teres-area in this same region from the back view
The awkward area that isnt actually my butt, but right above it. It is like I have hand fulls of fat I can grab on my hips in the back that I am having trouble getting at. I included a picture from the back to show the areas.
I am 5'9", naturally curvy with a heavy chest, 169-173ish lbs (fluctuates with meals and such), medium boned.
Any specific exercises (the move, sets, reps, weight, and how many times a week) as well as any added help (Im not using any protein or anything) would be appreciated to get me there in 7 weeks!

You can't target fat loss. All you can do is train hard and eat at a deficit. The weight will come off wherever it comes off.
You can't help the hopeless.

Loose skin can take 1-2 years to tighten up and your body doesn't really try to tighten it's skin until you get fairly lean. There's not much you can do about it in 7 weeks.

On the other hand, you could definitely start the process. Seven weeks is enough to lose seven pounds. Lift weights to keep the muscle you already have, which will give you good results in the long run.
You'll probably feel better by graduation, and you'll probably look better too. Just keep your expectations in check so that you don't get frustrated and give up.New Rules of Lifting for Women: Stage 5 starts June 5

the most efficient way is to read the stickies and learn the basics about nutrition , calorie counting etc..
you cannot spot reduce fat , 7 weeks is not enough for significant results but you can make a small change
you cannot undo years of treatment in a few weeks, it takes several months if you are lucky to a few years
not trying to be negative just realistic , use this opportunity to start, even if you won't be 100% of what you want to be for graduation daywho says love has to be soft and gentle ?
