I bought new underwear....

Options
Who knew???? I really didn't think I needed any, but I had to top up a purchase to get a good discount.
Not only am I down 2 sizes, but now I have figured out that baggie panties were the cause of that annoying "creap"....:blushing:

I've been excited about getting smaller clothes, but didn't know I needed to pay attention to the 'little things"!!!

    What a great thing! This deserves to be a celebration for all your hard work!

    I can't wait get out of the plus dept and back to misses sizes or to be under 200. Hopefully soon....:happy:

    Great job!

    Congrats on the 2 size drop. I notice my underwear seem to be fitter better. Probably because I gained 4 pounds before I decided to start losing weight. But I can't wait to drop down several sizes. It'll feel great. I might make that a reward..who knows.

    Can't get used to them myself...but got over my prejudice against them when my daughter pointed out that since everything she wears creeps up anyway, it's just less material to deal with:laugh:

    ...and thanks. Still have a long way to go, but there is real joy in not having to go for the largest size on the rack - even in the "plus" dept!

    I only wear thongs if the pants I'm wearing show a pantie line. Or if I'm wearing a skirt that shows a panty line. I used to wear thongs all the time, but since I put the weight on I don't feel as good in them as I once did. But I'm working on that.

    Ok so this is a very personal situation and question. But that is what you guys are here for right? Ok so I have lost 48 pounds and have gone down from a 20W to a 14 misses. I have gotten many new clothes in the right size including panties...but haven't traded in the bras. My bras feel as though they fit...I am tightening the shoulder strap and its hooked on the last one. Why would they feel they fit when I have gone down 4 inches in that area?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Go get yourself fitted professionally. I was in Sears the other day and they were doing it as a free service. It makes a huge difference

    technically if you went to a bra fitter they'd tell you they don't fit I bet but if you are making them work and you are comfortable to me that's whats important. Those straps really do adjust a ton.

    You say you've tightened the straps, have you always worn it on the last hook or did you used to hook it on the first or second hook.

    if you've changed the hook position over time, I'd say that's why the same size bra still fits, since it's somewhat adjustable between the shoulder straps and the back strap. The four inches lost may not have been in your cup size, but in back fat or even your side areas (some may be from cup size but not enough to notice).

    Lastly, they say the majority of women do not wear the correct size bra, so perhaps it really doesn't fit but you're so used to it that you think it does????

    Yeah, that's how I could tell I was gaining too much weight, when my underwear was too small!! :laugh:

    Yeah I think I will get fitted. I have never really had to tighten the straps and before the weight loss I was hooking it on the first set of hooks. Thanks for all the responses.

    What a great feeling! By the time I realized I needed new underwear I was down 4 sizes! I went from a size 12 to a size 8. No more granny panties. YAY!!

    That's great!
    I was really excited last month when I realized I didn't have to get "special" sizes any more. I have several new packs in a drawer that didn't ever fit, so now it's like a surprise when I get to break into them!
