So--speaking of those Shapermint tanks--I LOVE THEM but I love the old version of them when they still called them Empetua. The material in the old ones was some serious compressive shit, the new stuff is way too stretchy to really compress well. I have some extra skin in my stomach after losing weight and they really hold that shit tight for me. I stockpiled as many of the old versions as I could get my hands on.
I prefer them in a bra just so they are at least at attention.
I have had a "big butt" all my life, even when I was super skinny in my 20s. In middle/high school they use to call me "basketball butt". Of course this was back in the 80s when big butts were not popular like they are now. After losing 69lbs on Reta, I finally do not have a butt! It's been so nice to put on a dress and from the back, not feel like a basketball is hiding there! As for boobs, mine were never big until I got spayed, then they shot up from a B to a DD in about 2 years. They are finally back down to a B and I am happy with that.
I had only been spayed for about 4 months when I met my husband. He swears he could see my boobs grow right in front of his eyes! He's kinda mourning their loss but he knows I am happier in my skin without them that huge. As for the spay, my weight troubles began from there too, but due to dermoid tumors, I didn't a choice. Reta has been a total game changer for me. I am starting to finally feel comfortable looking in the mirror again.
It works for some but not everyone and it is topical so not much penetrates to cause significant growth. I am a member of a natural breast growth group elsewhere and I managed to go from an A to a C using supplements and cupping. Before the peptide rabbithole, I was down that other rabbithole and had incredible results.
Shape is my issue. Bras just suck.
Agree. Not to mention all the weird styles like balconette, demi, half cup, plunge, lined, etc. I see a bra, think it's cute and buy it. Only to find out I don't have demi cup boobs. Tshirt bras are my favorite because they don't give me a weird shape and are smooth a over.
This!!! Like, DO NOT COME AT ME WITH CROPTOPS. And I do NOT want those massive barrel leg jeans. This is not the early 90s Delia's era anymore. I am mumbles 48 and didn't want those when I was a kid, I do not want that now.
You're just like me, same size from them, too. At 46, I can't do the high waist for the same reason and aero has been my go-to all these years. I miss my 90s and early 2000s jeans!
Same. All that changed was my band size and now I think they appear larger because the rest of me got smaller. For me, it was my upper arms and my neck area that shrunk down first, or so it seemed at the time--I cannot express how much I am enjoying that.
YES!!! Here's to irrelevance! I make sure my hair is done, my skin and makeup are done but clothing wise, comfort trumps all for me. Running shoes, jeans and tshirts all day everyday. I might have a SINGLE pair of dress pants and a few shirts I can make look less grubby, but I never have a reason to dress up, since we just wear jeans and tshirts at work with the exception of 2 specific days per year where the old retired guys come in and we joke that we need to impress the guys with the big pensions. (Dress like you're lookin for a husband thats gonna croak soon!)
I went from one extreme to the other when I lost weight. Went from having to buy online for plus sizes, to buying kids clothes and training bras! 🤣 Kids stuff is cheaper for sure. I am very particular about what I want, pretty much all basics, but it's not easy to find all the time
Yay!!!!!!!
My daily dress code is whatever. I never wear a bra at home. I homeschool my kids and avoid people except at the grocery or farm store. My favorite places to be are rodeos or amish auctions LOL or sports games but that doesn't happen often. We do have a minor league baseball team I get to see each season. When I go there I get to wear a CLEAN shirt. Feel like a million bucks. 🤣🤣😉
