Exactly! My SO refused to believe I wore 32C until I told him it was the same cup size as 36A. WhIch used to be my size until I abandoned the old "add 5 inches" formula and now my bras fit much better.
I feel so much better saying I'm a 32C lol, but they're even more difficult to find than 36A.
I confess that I'm 30 years old & bra sizing still confuses me.
Band size = inches around your rib cage, right under your boobs
Cup size = 1 letter for every inch bigger your chest measurement is in comparison to your band size.
So 32C = You measure 32 inches right under your boobs, 35 inches around your chest
36A = 36 inches right under your boobs, 37 inches around your chest
Not all bra makers play by these rules, but that's how it's supposed to work so says the all powerful Google
Confession: Despite a lifelong fascination with boobs, this is the very first time I've ever seen bra sizing explained.
Don't feel bad, a lot of women don't know about it either. Even some places that do professional fittings explain it wrong.0 -
And while we're at it... Yep I'm wearing size 36C bras, and I'm only 3-4 pounds from my goal weight... Large frames suck.0

This is why every home should have a dog. I can't imagine our lives without a dog in the house.
One of my favourite pieces of parenting advice is as follows "every boy should have a dog and a mother who will allow it". I can no more imagine a petless household than I can imagine not eating.....
My husband is dead-set against any animals in our house...we can't even have a fish. I grew up with dogs and he grew up petless. We were having a fight one day and I yelled at him, "When you die, I am getting a firepit AND a dog!" We laugh about it now, but he still won't budge.
I can't imagine our house without pets. I used to say that when our current dog (almost 11) and cat (almost 12) die, I'm never getting anymore pets. But then we got my daughter her own puppy last year. Now, I want to adopt another pit bull even though we already have 2 dogs and a cat. What's one more, right?!
How could anyone not love dogs when they have such awesome personalities?! This puppy is freakin' adorable! I will not be getting another puppy though regardless of how cute they are. Too much work potty training and kennel training them. My daughter's puppy/dog still isn't house trained and is using my unfinished basement as his personal toilet. If he wasn't so darn cute and if we didn't have over $500 invested in him (he was free, but after shots, microchip, supplies, vet visits, etc. he was NOT free), he'd have been gone a long time ago and I would have my pit bull.

I want to get a dog. It's about to become one of my goals. I just have to find a new place to live, too. LOL0

Confession: The dreary day outside makes me want to eat an entire bag of marshmallows (since that's what you do as a kid when everyone else is having hot chocolate and you can't).0

There's no such thing as a free puppy!0

Confession, this weekend we celebrated my sons 16th birthday, for some reason it seemed to make me think I needed to eat 5 mini cupcakes and 2 regular ones and a slice of oreo cheesecake. WTF??? I even remembered to buy jenny o turkey dogs to "save calories"
I was sick and miserable afterwards!0 -

I used the snow as an excuse to not do my regular workout, but I forced myself to shovel my driveway & sidewalk, my two neighbors, and the woman across the street. I shoveled heavy snow for about 2.5 hours and burned some sick calories.
More importantly, you were a great neighbor! Good for you! I'm sure everyone was very appreciative. (and now I have 10 pages to catch up on!)
I get rather sad when I only have 1-2 pages to catch up on.
I worry one day this thread will disappear in the night..leaving us all to wonder what we missed.

#1: I am incapable of eating less than my daily goal. I feel like 1350 cals a day is so limited already, I want to be able to still think of food as a pleasure and not as something that I restrict to the point I go to bed hungry and/or not have at least a little treat daily. However, I have no problem whatsoever going over my goal by 100-200 cals twice a week or so (when I go out, it's by more). I'm completely fine with it, I just accept the fact that I'll reach my goal a bit later. To put things into perspective, I had 5kg to lose in total and should be about halfway through, and bikini season is far away enough that I don't mind the delay.
#2: I'm a student on an exchange, living in a flat that was already furnished, and no scale was provided. I hesitated as to whether I should buy one or not but was always running out of money so two months into my weight loss journey I still haven't. I'm going home in two weeks though and will finally be able to see if what I've estimated (based on my deficit) is accurate!0 -
I used the reasoning of it being my moms 60th birthday as an excuse to eat *everything* this weekend. Two pieces of cassata cake? Yum. I regret nothing...except the horrendous heartburn I had all of Sunday. Worth it.0

I think I've confessed this before, but 'I DON'T LIKE CUPCAKES.' Don't hurt me.
Cheesecake on the other hand, OHH YEEAHHH!0 -
I wished the guy running on the treadmill next to me would fall.0

Most women wear the wrong bra size entirely because VS has somehow ingrained this "+2" thing that you add to your band measurement.
No, no, don't do that. Your band is JUST what you measure right under your boobs. That's it, no confusion.
You'll never know how comfortable a bra can be until you wear the proper size!
ETA: I'm sad seeing people talk about bra sizes and I am sure they are still not the right sizes, have you ever measured underneath your boobs, where the band sits, for a snug measurement? (while not wearing bra)
Seriously you would be so amazed at how AMAZING your boobs look in the correct size. It's life-changing. I'm not being dramatic.

Okay I confess! I HATE WINTER. That felt good. My shoulders feel lighter already.0

Well, that explains why VS bras are always so tight. I can fit in them, but barely.
No matter, I prefer to buy nicer bras anyhow. VS stuff is not very good quality.0 -
I love animals, but am relieved not to have to deal with the mess.
I (literally) rescued a kitten this summer and I took care of him for about a month while I tried to find his humans. SUCH a pain to have to clean the floors every day.
I get way too attached and it was really hard to give him up. I probably should not have pets because I would be devastated when they grow old and die. I was so upset when my last pet (a fish) died. Bettas are not supposed to live for five years, but it was still too sad.0 -

I'm 51 and followed the old add-inches rule until I read a bra sizing thread on here that converted me.
I once plugged my measurements into an online calculator (WonderBra maybe?) and it returned the message: We do not currently have any bras to fit you. Way to make a gal feel inadequate... but now I'm a C cup

I still can't really comprehend that I am now flat as a board when I used to have some boobage. I know they say it "doesn't count" if your boobs are just from being overweight but it is still depressing
I still get confused that I don't need to shop on specialty websites for DD+ cups anymore (although my band is small and it's hard to find a 32 let alone a 30)
I'm down from 38B to 34B and there is barely anything left... but I would always choose slim figure over having boobs, no regrets!
Tell me your secrets! I am a 38C and I HATE having big boobs! I've googled how to lose boob weight and nothing comes up!
You can't spot reduce. Even in your boobs. If you're losing weight and not losing it there, it's most likely that you're bigger because of genetics.
And I have no sympathy for you... I wish I was a C cup... I'm a 40 G (actually should wear a bigger cup size, but this one works fine).
I'm down to a 38FF now, but they aren't getting any smaller! My husbnad says that if they don't shrink a lot more, in another 10kgs I'm going to look like a Manga cartoon 0 -

Australia. Hot chips (thick, chunky ones) and delicious gravy, and potato scallops are like my own personal version of nirvana.
the good part was I made hot chip sandwiches with the chips so I only ate a few of the chips. After that I felt so sick I tossed the rest.0 -

I have no affiliation with this site, but I pass it on whenever I can when this comes up. Agree with the life changing. 30 years of wondering why I could never find one that didn't either stab me in the armpit or subdivide me across the middle so it looked like I had 4 instead of 2. Someone sent me here and it made all the difference: http://www.brasizecalculator.tk/0 -
Confession: When I picked my son up from his grandmother's house, he was eating frozen corn kernels. I let him finish the corn and secretly ate the little snack pack of animal crackers I had for him.

Please please PLEASEEEE refrain from being mean.
Here goes it!
I wear a trash bag under my clothing when I exercise and also for about half of my day.
Yeah it's not as sophisticated as a Wrap or Those belly wrap things but honestly I like it better. It covers my whole upper body besides my neck, head, and arms. Maybe one of you do the same thing :P
I can't stop eating sweets, I am addicted to sweets, it's the only thing that's in my way.0 -
Start complaining to your doctor about back pain. I was a 34G and after I lost my weight post pregnancy my insurance paid for a reduction. I'm 38, they're 21. Also, my mom started bleaching my hair when I was four. I've never actually seen my natural hair color. I'll be a platinum blonde until the day I die.0

Likewise. It drives my husband nuts because I will not leave the house without one on. So now I have a few that I will alternate between washing, wearing, et cetera.
I'm curious. Are all these the spanx brand, or do you just mean shapewear? Isn't spanx rather expensive? I like underwear with some suck in power, but don't want to shell out for spanx. And, isn't it a bit, ah, tight?

I eat microwave popcorn at night, and put it in my food diary, but not the melted butter. If I don't write it down, it doesn't count, right?0

I so want to look better in my wives panties and nighties when i put them on.
