Thanks Susan - I haven't been in VS since I was skinny but maybe it's time to go back.

rainy, you sound like my girlfriend, she has a small rib cage compared to her bust and it's soo not easy for her either.

Either a 36DDD or 38D based on your measurements, but there are varying factors. You need to measure around and above your breast to get a truly accurate size. Try going into a department store and have them measure you (it's free.) Most women wear the wrong size.

Measuring above the boobs is the only way I've ever gotten a bra that actually fits! Lol. I guess this is just another testament of how different everyone's bodies are.

Oh gosh, are we going into the bra topic again?? :dizzy:

Don't make me come over on What Not to Wear marathon day with my pointer!

Hee! Thanks dahlin' but not necessary, for me at least. I think I'm really going to love and appreciate my body shape a lot more (than I already do, which is a lot :p) once I get rid of these love handles. My only complaint with my measurements currently is how hard it is to find tops! I have to go up 2-3 sizes so the blouse will button up, but then I have 8 square miles of excess fabric every where else!

Stacey and Clinton would send you to a tailor ;)
The gal here in town is beginning to love me.

right now i am blob shaped rofl...

38/44/49

what the heck kind of shape is that? i call is disfigured. i cannot wait until it evens out after some weight loss!

Well I just measured myself, I was surprised the numbers were as high as they were because my pants are starting to hang on me, so at 177ish I must have been huge. My measurements are 39-36-42.

My stomach has always been large, but I think my legs look very toned.
I really should look in to plates. I do mostly hiking for exercise, although on hot days the dog does not want to go, so I use that as an excuse.

My chest, now here's a good one, (not really), I actually had breast reduction surgery, after years of being teased, at that time I was around 130, 15 years ago and guess what happens when you gain 30 or more pounds? Uhh, big boobs again, arghh, I guess I will have to go back to the doctor!

No I guess I better lay off the midnight junk!

I went to a department store and had them measure me today. She measured me as 36DDDD or a 36G:eek: I'm not going to lose many more pounds, so I'm afraid my proportions are going to stay out of whack without surgery. I'll give it a year, and see if my skin or proportions improve.

Rainy

I'm 5ft 7ins and 34E-27-33

One of my ambitions is to have a 24in waist..sad eh
