    Just an FYI for those having trouble with beds being too hard on their bones after weight loss. I bought a memory foam mattress topper. Works great. I have got a 3" and a 4" thick with 4 lb density. Both work great on my old bones. 2" thick is not enough. Will not work as well if your mattress has dips and needs replaced.

    I have one of those toppers on my Sleep Number (my number is 25!)! 3 inches of memory foam. It's luxurious! But I do sleep with a pillow between my knees if I'm on my side. Knees up over a pillow if on my back. But my bed is lovely squishy!

    Reactive Attachment Disorder is incredibly difficult to deal with.

    just wanted to drop you a quick shout about this. no solutions but i knew a few parents whose kids had similar issues and it's a nightmare.

    I don't know if anyone mentioned this. It's probably TMI... but anyway... dealing with loose bras. I'm not buying any new ones yet til I lose more weight & the ones i now own are very loose on me.
    Well, now that I have lost enough weight, my bras are loose around the back. It's tricky using the 3rd row of eyes to hook them (instead of the 1st row) while reaching behind me, i can't close the darn thing. now I have to close it in front then rotate it around to the back & then slide my arms into the straps. Annoying, & yet cool.

    I am hoping my boobs don't shrink because I bought all new bras this last summer.

    That good, supportive sports bras for big chested women do not exist! Well, not in store anyway... I've lost 69lbs and I'm still a DDD cup, can't find a good sports bra anywhere! Hate to order off line because I like to try stuff on b4 I spend $60 + on something!! It's so annoying!

    I bought a shock absorber sports bra and I was a g I think whatever letter is after ddd. it was expensive but worked. I had to go to a specialty bra store to get it. I wore two bras one sport from Walmart that sucked and a regular bra and a size med tank top (I wear a xl) to a class last week for jumpy Jacks I could barely breathe....need to go back to bra store lol

    + That it can be an emotional roller-coaster. Some days you are happy with yourself and other days you get upset because you ate too much or you don't look right or you haven't lost any weight this week, etc. Learn to ride the roller-coaster and don't get off.

    + That it won't magically fix all your problems. In fact, some of my "problems" have come more in focus because of the time and energy I have spent on myself and not "others."

    true story

    Look for a specialty bra store that offers fittings. You'll get excellent service and they'll have an amazing amount of styles you can try on (I'm a 38G). Their prices are usually not much, if any, higher than online retailers.
