Can I spot reduce my breasts?

Hi all!

My Christmas dress just arrived, but it doesn't fit me in the bust. :sad:

I just can't get the last 2 inches to zip up. The rest of it fits perfectly.

I know I can't loose the weight to wear it tomorrow, but I have an event in a couple of weeks so I was wondering what exercises you can recommend to spot reduce my chest area?

I was thinking of doing the 100 pushup challenge http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

and go on a juice cleanse after Christmas to really flush out any toxins and excess water I'm holding. My husband has bought me a juicer for Christmas! :smile:

Does this sound like a good plan?

    I'm in for this! I need some good ideas. What type of juice should I use? And push ups are sooooo hard, is there another exercise I can do? Like maybe one of those shake weight thingies?

    No no no no.

    You don't want to do pushups, that will make your chest bigger.

    Saran wrap your bust over night! You will sweat like a beast, and those breasteses will be GONE!

    Seriously, I've saran wrapped a body part overnight (don't ask) and it was down an inch in the morning. :bigsmile:

    OK, OK, it was my BUTT!

    Might just have to return it or get a larger size. Not all women have the same
    Body composition so not all clothing will fit perfectly!

    Thanks. I've seen these before.

    From the exercise videos it looks like it might make my arms bulky.

    I want my arms to remain slender. It's a sleeveless dress after all.

    This. You can't spot reduce fat and the only way to get quick results - which I DO NOT ADVOCATE - is through atrophy. Try to avoid carrying any weight with your hands/arms/shoulders. Don't push off of anything and don't lift anything with your arms. Keep using your lower body as you usually do. Maintain a steep caloric deficit. If you're sufficiently aggressive about this you will probably be able to lose a few inches around your upper torso, shoulders, neck. Again I DO NOT ADVOCATE DOING THIS.

    The 100 push-up challenge will just make you bulk fast.

    Do you have any sewing skills? You could buy black ribbon, take out the lacing, and sew in the ribbon in the same pattern but with a wider gap.

    I'm confused by your mixed signals. Perhaps we should PM so I can clarify a few things with you.

    I'm not sure how pasties will help. I'm trying to loose weight not gain it.

    OP - I have several ideas but they will require an in person session.

    You have pasties confused with pastries.

    I think.
