How much do you measure round the back (under bust measurement?). Has it changed as you have lost weight?

    It certainly changes with weight loss/gain! Only a little for me, more dramatically for others. I can lose about 1 inch with 50 pounds lost. Never gotten lower than that, so I don't know any more! ;)

    As in the measurement under your bust? Mine has gone from 34 to 32 but I am now on the smallest hook of a 32- so probably more like a 30 which now makes me a really awkward size:sad:

    Yes, that. I have gone from 30 to 27/28 inches round my back, which is making bra shopping hard work!

    And you would think that measurement would be the same for most bras. I am having a hard time finding bras to fit. Some bras a 36 fits some it doesn't. Gah. I need to get measured and invest in some "good" bras but need to finsish losing weight first.
