This is funny, but I can say that whenever I lose weight, that's the part it comes from first. I've lost 10 lbs in this go-round and dropped from a 38B to a 38A. It's one of those things that is not true for everyone, but does happen to some of us, so the rumor continues...0

A lot of the pinterest misinformation drives me insane:
"Flat belly water!"
"Lose 5 pounds in 1 week!"
"Lose weight with (fill in the blank) superfood"
I also want to shake any person who says they are counting their calories and only eating 1200 a day....but aren't losing weight.0 -

I debated going into the whole "mammary tissue" vs. "fat" thing, but it didn't seem worth it. I think it was her excuse not to exercise.0 -

"I work out for an hour everyday and eat 1200 calories a day and I don't lose weight." A friend told me that once at the gym...she was on the elliptical going at a snails pace because she "doesnt like to sweat" and on the way out got cheetos and a juice from the vending machine....0
