  • Vicky's does NOT train their staff right! They tried to say that if you are a 34D, you should also be able to wear a 32DD or a 36C... By this logic I guess a 38B or 40A would work too, right?? WRONG! Your band size is the rib cage measurement right under your boobs & it doesn't change based on which bra you wear today! If…
  • In high school was a 34DD, had 2 kids, had a hysto, gained 30lb & went up to a 34F. Recently, went from 150lb to 127.5 (so far - & I'm only 5ft tall!) Went down to a 32DD/E! It feels like I lost half my boobs! Biggest I ever was (nursing) was a 38H - & it was tight! My hubby's a little disappointed, but I reminded him…
  • Paczki Day's a HUGE tradition here, so instead of my usual 3 - strawberry, lemon, & chocolate, I will limit myself to 1 & eat very small the next 2 days ;-)

  • Also, just some info for the women... I tried for 7 yrs to get my weight down after my hysterectomy at age 27 (NOBODY tells you before the surgery that you'll most likely gain a bunch of weight & not be able to lose it!). Anyways this summer I finally kicked the mountain dew habit & switched to walmarts brand of crystal…
  • If you need an ice cream fix without breaking the diet, the skinny cow truffle bars are pretty good... also walmart has their own brand of crystal-light packets. 4 of them are labeled energy... blueberry acai , pomegranate lemonade, peach mango & dragon fruit. They helped me cut the mountain dew habit - I lost 20 lbs in 3…
  • I like that "healthnut" bread by brownberry (sometimes labeled Arnold's) toasted with downey's cinnamon honey butter & a little blackberry jam... around 200 Cal.
