Hello well-endowed females

Not a female but see your pain.

I teach Bible study and this poor young girl in my class "sprouted" and is having a horrible time dealing with the largeness and the looks. I feel so bad for her. She is a wonderful kid (I tell her all the time) but I noticed she is more introverted now and she tries to hide them with big shirts. I spoke with her mom & sister because I think it would be creepy & weird for a 48yr old guy to talk to her about it. I still hug her ( I hug all my kids) I think it would make her feel bad if all of a sudden I stopped, but it's just so sad, I NEVER knew how having a larger than normal chest would seriusly affect someone.

I talked with the boys in the class and told them "No matter how slick you THINK you are, she knows you're looking, so STOP!"

Again, I can't feel your pain and as a guy who used to leer at women this was a wake up call because I have known her since she was a baby. Seeing her pain over this is sad.

The muffin is from your bottoms being too tight, not your top. I am a bit top heavy myself (30DD), and I always wear from fitting tops to avoid the tenting effect.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ NOT NECESSARILY*****I had a muffin top at 18, I weighed 113 pounds, had NO HIPS , 34DD bust, and a friggin MUFFIN top. :grumble: Some people have a band of sinew that goes across their body right there. I am one of them (I am also a RN, so know anatomy pretty well.) These "bands" are what makes ppl have different shapes and sizes while at the same height. I am high waisted, which totally sucks, but you have to dress for what the good Lord gave ya! BTW, I have a pic, of me in a LEOTARD, 113 pounds, skinny as a rail, with this MUFFIN TOP..18 years old...ERRR!!!:noway:

Also,as I have yo-yoed upand down in weight, I have also had 2 breast reductions-Yep..TWO (2), DOS, and my boobs grew back AGAIN! Currently only a D..Praise the Lord!!:bigsmile:

I was a 38G when I started & I am currently a 36DDD, hope to be just a Dcup one day!!

I'm 5'9 and started off 240 witha 38F. I'm now down to 215ish with a 36F (go figure!). I'm HOPING the boobies do down to like a C/D.

I always joke that my girls each have their own zip code. They are completely obnoxious, but they have reduced in the past when I have been at a lighter weight. (Crossing fingers.)

I am hoping that my girls will shrink along with me proportionally. They give me a back ache.

38DDD, I can't find a bathing suit top anywhere! Frustrating! I'll be stuck in plus size swimwear for the rest of my life! I've lost 70 pounds and there is no way any of that came from my bust!

MEE!!! I hate my 38H boobs!!! I would love to lose some bust!!

I wear a 44 DDD. I wouldn't mind being a DD or D just to make it easier to find bra's but I don't want them to go down very much.

Boobs rule. :-)

Hahaha. I am totally reading this thread even though I am not too big up top. Just wanted to see how big we were talkin. I'm only a D but am self conscious of that. I now see I should mellow out about it.
Anyway, I wanted to see if any dudes would pop in and lo and behold...lol

I had a friend whose sis was able to get a reduction covered by her medical insurance due to back pain, btw. Is that a viable option for any of you?

I'm very happy with my 42D's, but wish they would go back up to where they used to be (before childbirth and gravity took their toll). I would like to see what I can do about moving them back up once I've lost my weight and kept it off for a year. So far I'm down 35lbs total (26 on MFP) and nothing has come off of them.

Someone asked about sports bras - This bra is fabulous. Everything TOTALLY stays put when I run, and I've never been able to find a bra that did that before. The down sides are that you feel like you're wearing a bra designed to keep things locked in place (I couldn't wear this all day comfortably) and it visually looks very heavy duty if you're concerned about appearances. I have a black one and just run in that as a top. Because of the dark color and all the material involved it doesn't look like a bra but more like some of the sports tops that are out there. It's a bit pricey, but is holding up well to machine washing and line drying:

The use of the term muffin top in modern conversations is the fat rolling out of a woman's pants. It is caused by the pants being a size too small. What you are referring to is not what I would call a muffin top by the urban dictionary terms. Have you tried wearing high waisted pants? Or spanx to smooth? I've never really seen what you are describing on a person with low BF%.

I am 5' 2" and up to 34DD-never been a DD in my life! I am 47 & started menopause 2 years ago when the weight started packing on.


I am desperately seeking sports bra suggestions as I have tried on MANY & my boobs still jiggle far too much..so I wear an old Moving Comfort one(which never supported me well to begin with) plus a 2nd no clasp one.

Thanks!

I've read about the Armour Bra but it wasn't big enough for me. I also heard good things about the Tata Tamer at Lululemon but they were out of my size So I went to the Running Room and got one that I guess is called the Shock Absorber (that's what it says on the front and I've cut all the tags off.) I was blown away when I tried it on and jumped up and down and the girls didn't move at all PLUS they had it in my size which is a 36F and impossible to find in a normal bra.

This thread lacks pictures..........just saying!

40GG here, but I love it and am hoping to stay this proportioned when the weight is all off. I'd like to lose everywhere so that I'm a 34GG when I'm done.
