Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Exactly! My SO refused to believe I wore 32C until I told him it was the same cup size as 36A. WhIch used to be my size until I abandoned the old "add 5 inches" formula and now my bras fit much better.
I feel so much better saying I'm a 32C lol, but they're even more difficult to find than 36A.
I confess that I'm 30 years old & bra sizing still confuses me.
I should have read ahead before posting because someone else got the recommendation in before I could. So just another vote for the site brasizecalculator.tk/.

Then you're not making them right/buying the right brand. Good snickerdoodles are soft and shortbready and buttery and cinnamony and everything that is good in this world.
Mine are just Walmart. But they probably would've disappointed even if they were amazing homemade ones just because they weren't what I'd decided in my head what they should be.
I guess the real lesson here is that I should look things up or ask an American instead of just making it up...
As an American, I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Kidding! We certainly know our junk food
As an American who lives overseas, I can assure you the rest of the world has no idea what a Snickerdoodle is!! But they all have their wicked junk foods
Yep, wasn't a suggestion that Americans know all about junk food, just that I'm a brit in America, so Americans are locals.0 -

No worries. You can color grey.
My poor son is 20 and has been going bald for a year. His hair is half gone.
I started finding grey hairs when I was 23. The worst part is I can't colour my hair, it won't hold any dye and ends up looking like straw within a couple weeks (doesn't matter if it's permanent, demi- or semi-permanent). The most recent time I did try to colour it, it didn't cover the grey anyway.
Aw, dang.
I've been coloring my hair since I was in my late 20's. I'm 41 now and have no idea if there's any grey under there or not. I don't wanna know!
I've got this rogue thing going on with my hair right now, I've been going grey since I was 16 but only on the left side of where my hair parts. I have zero sympathy for people who freak out when they find their first grey hair in their late 30's to 40's. I may be heartless lol
I got my first gray hair at birth! No kidding... I was born with one!

This is a bit off topic, but I really must confess: Yesterday was the year anniversary of when I decided to lose weight, I was 300 lbs 1 year and 1 day ago today when I started DDP Yoga. I've lost 75 lbs and I'm going harder than ever after a winter of chronic maintaining, to get the last 40 lbs off.0

I have asked my boss if I can leave early tonight because I want to get back home early because I have an online meeting. I figuere that if I get back early I will have time to exercise before the meeting and make up somespare calories for the chocolate and biscuits I will probably eat during the meeting.
My confession: The fact that I am way over this week's weeklies already and should use any spare calories to cover my shortfall did occur to me, but I ignored the thought.0 -
I feel for you, but don't give up! Maybe just shake things up a bit. When I hit a plateau, I re-evaluated my goals, upped my calories a little and changed my exercise routine (started running). The weight eventually came off and I've kept it off for over 16 months. Also, be honest in what you are eating, you might be eating more than you think. I always try to over estimate my food calories and under estimate my exercise calories. Good luck!Every day when I step on the scale I want to cry I've been the same weight for almost a year now, and I'm still in the overweight category for my height/sex. Going to the gym but nothing happening on the scale just isn't working for me..

I needed to chime in on this bra subject too.
I thought I was a 32DD forever and wondered why I had such bad back pain all the time. Turns out that when I wear a 28FF, I'm suddenly totally comfortable with zero pain of any kind and I don't have to adjust my bra constantly during the day. I can forget I even have one on when I'm actually wearing the right size, it is kind of unbelievable.
Not a confession, just a PSA brought on by the rest of the discussion around this.
My confession, I guess, is that I pigged out so hard this weekend I've been eating nothing but a protein bar and a salad a day since. But sacrifices must be made with wedding-dress-wearing impending.0 -

DDP Yoga scares me, maybe if I get my back issues fixed it wouldn't so much. A friend of mine is trying to work up to some super planking vertical pushup thing. She posted a video of him doing it on facebook, and he was struggling with them. I can't even imagine.0 -

I'm a 32GG and I hate it. It's not due to my weight (5'2, 110lbs) I'm so uncomfortable and I've been thinking about going to the docs for a while now. I've done loads of research and the only thing bothering me is the scarring..

Would consider having kids in the future? If so, it might be worth it to wait for a procedure so you don't end up having one twice.

The first time I wore a bra out that actually fit correctly I had a moment of panic. I thought for a brief second that I had actually managed to leave the house without wearing one. Now, I don't know if anyone actually saw my panicked self-groping, but if so they're welcome for the laugh I guess.

Yummm. Snickerdoodles were the one cookie I learned how to make in middle school home ec and it's still a forever favorite. Talk about a nostalgia cookie.0 -
Someone brought in these mini marble cakes today. I brought one to my desk, removed the paper wrapping and realized someone cut it in half. I don't care. I'm eating the whole thing.0

I will overeat and then try to split up the calories I overate by throughout the whole week but in the end it never really works as planned :-P0

Woohoo! Happy MFP-versary!
Confession: I love LOVE reading stories like this so I'm all over the success forum, but I also get down on myself because I'm not nearly as far along as I think I should be. It's a bad habit.0 -

I make room for Panda every couple of weeks, double Orange Chicken with steamed veggies - 880 calories. Worth every one!0 -

Wow, really? Just curious - do you know why? I think it's a beautiful shade from your avatar picture, so I'm truly just being nosy! Feel free to ignore, of course...0 -

That is why I love dry shampoo. If I'm feeling really sleepy, I'll sleep longer and just use the dry shampoo to get the oil out of my hair, and carry on with plans to shower later. It really enables my laziness.

You are so right. And strangely, Seattle's Best Coffee has the best snickerdoodles. Especially heated just a bit. So much yum!0 -
Oh I totally would!!! My family's first two cats were strays that we brought in. Since then my family has had 5 cats (combined between my parents, my sister, and me) and all were from the Humane Society. We had a dog years ago that we bought from someone who could no longer take care of her.0 -

Seriously. It's a total world-changer especially if you're at all busty. I spent years thinking I needed a reduction and being in near-constant discomfort and pain and having to adjust my straps and my band and shove stuff back in the cups, and then within a week of actually wearing the right size and the right bra all that was completely gone. I go entire days without having to think about my chest or my back and that would NEVER have happened before. My fiance is thrilled both because I'm finally comfortable and because he no longer has to give me marathon backrubs every couple of days. And I'm thrilled because I don't have to get surgery like I always thought would become a necessity before long. They're still big, they don't really fit in some clothes, and I don't love them, but just being pain-free and comfortable is amazing.0 -

Unfortunately, if you're in the US, you probably have to order bras online because most US bra manufacturers don't make bras the proper size or there's huge inconsistencies (as mentioned by others).
Confession: I am suffering with my bras by Cacique that aren't quite the right size because I want to lose weight before I spend more money on bras... maybe when I lose 30 lbs, I'll measure and shop again. Until then, these work better than what I previously had, so it's a win.0 -
I have to admit all that bra measuring talk is confusing to me.
I went to the store. I grabbed 4 different sizes of bras, and it was pretty obvious what fit and what didn't (cup too small, cup too big, band too large, band too small).. so I bought the ones that did. Maybe it's more complicated if you have bigger breasts? Not that mine are tiny...
And I don't order clothes online unless I know the brand and have tried them in store first. I've had too many bad surprises of things that didn't fit.0 -

I only wash my hair 2-3 times per week. My hair is naturally curly; it would be a frizzy disaster if I washed it more frequently. I was fresh from the salon in my profile picture, I wear it curly 99% of the time.0 -

My husband started going gray when he was 18. By the time we were married (he was 30), his entire head was, what I call, gun metal gray. Now he's 37 and his hair is mostly white on the sides and still a little dark gray on top. His chest hair and beard are even starting to sprout white hairs. Poor guy. At least he's still got a full head of hair!0 -
