    I was a D or double D, and I still am, but with a smaller band size, which I guess implies a smaller cup size, too (i.e., the cup on a 32 D is smaller than the cup on a 36 D). Honestly, for the first time in my life (pushing 50) I can wear "cute" bras, and I have to admit that while I am so not a lacy lingerie kind of person, I get a kick out of it.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I've never really been able to wear cute bras either. I know it's not the healthiest thing to do but a lot of people think I am a C because I wear minimizer bras. I paid some good money for these bras but I would gladly give them up if I could someday wear normal, pretty bras as a result of fat loss.

    At least you'll have something left. I totally get it now why physique competitors often get implants.

    I hear you on this one Sumiblue. But I'm telling you that you look so great that the boob size never cross my mine when I see your pictures. I bet any one who sees you say to themselves "Dang that girl is fit -- she looks so good. Wished I could look that great." I am not just saying that because that's exactly what I think when I see your pictures. But thanks to you, I actually believe that I can ... someday. :)

    What's wrong with wearing minimizers? I wore them for years.

    Thank you! But, you know, I wear tops with padded built-in support

    Some experts thinks that they lead to health issues when you restrict the body in the way. Mine are pretty darn tight. LOL! Maybe they will fit more normal when I lose a little bit more.

    My post got cut off. I went into a whole story about loose skin and doing planks. Don't look. Don't!

    OMG, yes! It's horrible! The skin just hangs. At least you started with a B cup. I couldn't fill out an A at my highest. Ribs and sternum show, stick thin forearms...and total mush between my belly button and knees. So not fair. I pictures of people that weigh 20lbs more than I do and they look so much thinner because they have boobs and evenly distributed fat.

    I read somewhere that you gain extra breast tissue with each child you give birth to, so I have some hope

    If that's true, then they just suck it all out when they nurse. Nursing was the only time I ever had any boobs. It was great. But after nursing two kids for 14months each, not only do I not have any breast tissue, my nipples are deformed looking. Kids...sheesh. :P
