Look on the bright side, with smaller boobs you'll be able to buy the pretty bras that they only make in small sizes :) I'm always stuck buying these hideous things because I need the support.. so I'm game to lose some of my chestage ;)

When I started South Beach, I was a 42DDD and I ended up as a 36C. I still have to wear bras with support since there is quite a bit of sag (heck, I'm 44 and nursed for 3 years) but I can now wear a small or medium shirt rather than an XL and a lot of this is because of the smaller bra sized. I'm happier this way and I don't bounce as badly when I exercise.

I'll take some of that butt! I've got my father's butt - NONE. I've got a flat butt, and always have. As HF says, it's all up front! LOL I'm between a tight D and a loose DD - depending on the day, and how much water I'm retaining.

I know my boobs greatly shrunk Not quite sure what Size. When I break my plateau and get closer to my goal my reward is going to be a trip to the bra fitters at Nordstrom! I wish my thighs would firm up. My butt has perkified! and I think I'll always have the belly bulge. **** DH hasn't complained and I'm getting used to my Skinnier self! Bring on the all over shrinkage!

Barb, I'd love to end up like you have, though I know I'll need support until the day that I get everything taken in surgically. 36C sounds divine! :cloud9: (Actually, even a B sounds divine...and those size A bras are SO darn cute!!!)

I hear you on pudgy toes, Kara, but my shoe size actually went down (my mom told me that was impossible, but it's true!) and since I went from an 11 to a 10 (sometimes), it really improved my shoe choices! :cp: So there is *some* worth to losing toe fat. :lol:

I wish I had read this thread earlier -- too funny! I don't know about my boobs, like Allie says, bras are too expensive, so I don't think I've bought a new one in 3 years, despite weight changes of 25 lbs! I just ignore the ill-fittedness
Pacergirl -- that is so funny what you say about that pouch of fat, I think the ones you mean are kinda midway between the top of the boob and the armpit. The ones that make strapless dresses look hideous. I HATE THOSE!! My mom used to call them my little mushkins (along with the adorable upper inner thigh fat. those were 'mushkins' too. thanks, mom.). I hope they go away eventually, though I think they'll probably hang on. I remember having them even at my 117, my lowest weight.

I hate armpit fat.

And I hate that my boobs don't go away. Do you know how hard it is to find a 32DD? I'd LOVE to be a nice perky C. Perkiness went away years ago with the weight gain. Sigh.... Thank God for good bras, but once I'm at my goal weight, I'm sure I'll want to have the boobies hiked back up and put back into place. How much does a boob-hiker-upper cost? Anyone do research?

Weezle, we priced a boob reduction for my DD, who takes after her grandma in the boobage department, and that was about 5K, but not sure about enhancement.
slisette, thanks for the new nickname for the fat. We are big on dumb nicknames for things in my family, but I don't think I had a word for those armpit fat pouches.
beachgal, I don't care so much about my pudgy toes, although I get teased for my little square "Flintstone feet", but I'd love to lose some finger fat. My MIL gave me a ring about 5 years ago. I gained weight while wearing it and haven't been able to take it off for a few years. I'm sure she just thinks I love it, but the day I can take that ring off will be a major NSV!
iammare, I'd be happy to send you some butt in exchange for some boobs! If I lose too much on the boobs, I'm just worried that I'll have empty shells and I'll have to roll them up to get them into the bra cups. That's what 44, excess weight, and nursing all those kids does for you.

Schmoodle- too funny about the Flintstone feet! My parents for years have called mine hobbit feet! :P Toe flub has gone down and I want a toe ring! :P I want finger fat to go away too. My fingers and hands just look like an overgrown toddler's with dimples and everything! It's SO embarrassing! I carry all my weight on my arms which is so much harder to hide than tummy or legs :( How are you supposed to hide finger dimples? :P


So, I definitely can tell my boobs have shrunk now. When I was at the beach, my bathing suit top kept slipping down! Not a problem when I first tried it on!!! Stupid Old Navy didn't design their plus sized suits well at all so regardless of boob size, you'd have a problem. They are cute, but the bra part straight across and the halter top straps are not connected to the underwire bra. What's the point of underwire if it's not being held up by anything?! I'm picking up some safety pins so I don't have any more wardrobe malfunctions. Thankfully there were no small children in the water :P

I tried on a XXXL (that's 3X's, "triple X mongo" as my late friend Eric always said) suit top at Old Navy and it's not anywhere near close to fitting. I envy anyone who can wear Old Navy suits.

There has to be a way to make that armpit fat go away! I'm curling my hair today (why when the humidity is 90+ I have no idea!) standing there in my bra and those rolls are laughing at me. Seriously everything else looks pretty decent. Todays goal find some excercises that makes them go away for good!

OK so after all that whining I did above about my boobs never going away.... I bought the new Victoria's Secret Body By Victoria Full Coverage Push-up Bra yesterday. Tried on my normal size 34DD..... then tried on a 34D.....

I've dropped a size!

Hooray! Your boobs heard you and got offended!
