    The bad: that the boobs do not necessarily go down. I have lost 3 band sizes in my bras, but gone UP 2 cup sizes. It is getting really hard to find bras in my size any more.

    The good: just now much mental health is tied into physical health. I have suffered from depression all of my adult life (some at a "normal" weight and some at my obese weight). This last year, as my physical self has made huge strides, my mental health has improved tremendously to where I cannot even pinpoint a bout with depression in the last 14 months.

    Are we twins? LOL!

    I've always been big up top and although band sizes are decreasing, I'm now struggling with dresses cos my boobs don't seem to be going anywhere so I can't get the tops of dresses done up. Also, now I'm smaller in my lower body, I feel the top half is even more noticeable which doesn't help when I already feel too self-conscious. Maybe they'll just be the last thing to go? I've still got 2½ stone to lose so hopefully I'll get back to the large-but-manageable size I used to be in my early 20s!

    I have also suffered a lot in the past with depression and anxiety (at all weights), but have been pleasantly surprised by how much better I feel all round now that I'm more active and getting fitter and also because I'm eating less crap these days!

    Great news all round :smile:

    Not all women will lose weight in their breasts, especially after age 40 or so. Changing hormones are the likely culprit. Look at it this way - many women pay good money for large boobs and a tiny waist and butt. It's not a bad look. Buy separates instead of dresses. B)

    hehe that's a very sensible suggestion! I might find the boobs annoying, but my husband is quite happy that I'm not losing them just yet :stuck_out_tongue:

    It's called ketosis! It's apart of losing weight...

    Love that feeling!

    Feeling comfortable enough to say to others when you are hungry. Sounds crazy but I used to never announce it because I thought everyone would think "of course you are"

    Same for me. I always have to justify it with "I haven't eaten since x-o'clock" or else I'm just a piggy who likes to eat.

    Yep, me too. Also I love your name.

    The confidence boost and projecting it onto others!!!

    Yes, indeed. My confidence goes through the roof when I'm losing weight.
