Thanks Karen

Can always rely on you!!!

Know what you mean about falling over - I used to have a really big chest (popping out of 32 h)also a family thing . So always bigger dress size on top. Dad used to joke that nothing grows in the shade!!!! Had a boob job in 97.

But these days the bras are fab and don't look like they've been made by the same engineer that designed the Brooklyn Bridge!!! Do you have a "Sadie, Sadie, bra lady" in your area? If you do mybe you could go to her as a well fitting bra does make all the difference and can even bring you down a dress size - lift and seperate etc!!!

Ails - nice to meet someone with the same sort of problems in the boulder holder department. We only have a small underwear shop locally and last time i went to them they were complete rubbish, sold me the totally wrong size, seemed ok in the shop but as soon as you start moving around used to pop out all over the place (not a pretty sight). I find the dreaded Evans quite good for the bras, they fit really nicely. Have found that since loosing weight though my back aches like crazy especially in the evening, suppose that means they dont fit properly although they are well comfy. When i have lost all the weight i will think about finding a specialist shop though.

How did you find the op? I have toyed with the idea for years, but hoped that by loosing the weight i would loose it there also, but no such luck for me. Do they do it on the NHS these days i wonder. My mum had same problem and eventually all the ligaments in her shoulders snapped due to the weight and they had to do the op anyway. She used to be tripple G, thank god i am not that much. Karenxx

Hiya

Sorry - just popped out to Asda for some kiwi.strawberry water and had a bit of retail therapy - just bought body warmer, skirt, dress and 3 quarter trousers with buttons up side - for £19.00 (for all 4)

The op was ok - not as painful as everyone makes out (but then again I didn't find last year that bad either so I maybe am insane!!) best thing I have EVER done. Went down to 32C but with last year back up to DD - so another reason to keep to my fighting weight!!

I had mine done on the NHS as a 32 back and an H cup is not a good combo. I think even then it was a case of the poscode lottery.

If you're really not happy, why not look into and get the ball rolling. Even if you can get it done on the NHS and your name is at the top of the list, if you don't want it done you can always back out. Then next person on the list will be chuffed as her surgery will be brought forward. Win Win. There's no harm asking the questions!!

Hope that helps

Ails - Yeah i might just do that, next time i have to go see a Doc i might mention it, find the whole thought a bit scary though. Karenxx

Hiya

Go for it!!!

What in this world can be more scarey than wanting something so badly and knowing that you have not done everything within your power to make it happen?

I suppose that goes for the diet as well as the boobies!!!

Ails xx

Girls, am I completely insane for loving my huge boobies? I'm now a 36E, and am dreading losing anything more off them! I've lost 4 inches and a lot of volume already, they are getting decidedly slack . I'm already contemplating a boob job to get them back! I'm not talking Jordan propotions here mind you, just keeping what I've got.

Vikki.

OMG slack isnt the word, i will be one of those old ladies you see in rest homes with their boobs tied round their waist just to stop them flapping about.....sorry no disrespect, i have worked in many of these homes in the past, but its just an image that stays with me. Who knows,by the time i am at goal they could have shrunk a bit, still flapping, but a bit smaller.....oh dear, that just isnt a nice image right now. Karenxx

LOL

It's like that birthday card "oi Granny show us yer T*Ts"

So she lifts up her skirt

I shouldn't laugh, it's not funny. Except I'm living it, I'm there and if you don't laugh, you'll cry!!!!

Ails xx

Oh how witty you are Ails - got me rolling around the floor in stitches, kids keep giving me a funny look now. You are right though and i know the card you mean. OMG not me pleeeeease!!! You have to laugh. Karenxx

I think I shall go and sob quietly in a corner now!!!!!!

Vikki.

Me too!!!!!

lol!!!

Now totally depressed, boohoo. But still think its funny. Well better go and get little perishers ready for bed, looking forward to peace and quiet when they are tucked up and asleep, had torrential rain today and havent been able to get out at all, makes for a long day. See yous later. Karenxx

Hi Guys. WI day tomorrow and i am weirdly looking forward to it. When is it ever going to stop raining this weekend????????? If i dont get the kids out the house today there are going to be crimes committed Actually i shouldnt complain, they are learning to play together, shame they still have to argue, but cant have everything.

Cant believe i have been back on this thing a week already, i remember when i first started the first week seemed to last totally forever, but this week (being restart) has gone so quick. I seriously thought i would have so many problems restarting but i have to be honest and say it has been easier than when i did it the first time and i find that so weird having read other peoples posts. My determination has really kicked in, even sticking with 4ltrs of H2o every day, better now i am warming it up with berry flavour.

Anyway, really just keeping this for me this time, but if you are reading then HI and anyone that wants to jump on in there, more the merrier. Hope you all have a good day today.

By the way, cold gone now, still have a hacking cough but i can live with that, thanks everyone for your concern. Karen is back to her old self. Karenxx

Hi Karen!

Well, i've had a good laugh reading your thread, we're all in the same boat and for me, coming on here has really helped me because i knoe i'm not alone and all of you offer such great advive, support and kill me with laughter!

Just want to say, you're doing great, these diets ain't easy, you just have to keep looking at it as a short term boost and a lifetime of positive changes, we can all do it and in the meantime we've got each other for support as i've realised being on this diet and feeling unhappy with my size leads to feelings of boredom, frustration and depression all of which i suffer less with since finding this forum.

Anyway look forward to being on this journey with you all.

Cherie.
