Speaking of "ta-ta's"...I saw on Oprah a place downtown Chicago~Intimacy ~who services the well-endowed, so I made an appointment, and wonderful lady fit me perfectly! She says the straps should not be doing the work just your back band, I have permanent indents in my shoulders! Their prices range from so-so to WOW! To me it is worth having a well-supporting bra because I am soo large that if I dont, I look heavier than I am. Lets just say I am quite aways up the alphabet!
Also another thing they sell is dimmers, you put them on and no more headlights!
I ran out and tried that Oprah bra as soon as it came out... OUCH is all I can say
i too am a total bra freak! It is worth it to me to wear a cheap $10 shirt with a $70 bra under it
A good size fitted bra makes all the difference in the world!
Good going all you losers!!!! I need to get back on track myself.... my diet is way different so I won't bother posting it but I really need to push myself more to get these last 10 pounds gone
I can't do sugar at all... anymore than 5 grams of sugar and I am sick as a dog so I don't have that to worry about... The further you are out surgery wise though the harder it gets to lose weight. I eat about the same portions as a normal person would eat now... well not pig out but a normal sized portion... like maybe 6 oz total at a meal... i just have to be careful what those 6oz consist of
Remember your protein!!! Going low carb is ok.... but a much better option is to watch the kinds of carbs you are eating... good carbs vs bad carbs. We ladies REALLY need our fiber!!!!!!! Look for whole grain breads with extra fiber... fiber one cereal is loaded with fiber and low in sugar. The bad thing about no carb or super low carb is you can get mighty "clogged up"
The human body needs protein, fat and carbs... just not saturated fats or simple carbs. It's so much more complicated than just wiping carbs out of your diet.
You also have to remember that you need good fats!!!
dont be scared of the Italian dressing for your salads... many vits are fat soluable ...meaning they can only be absorbed when they are eaten with a fat.... so if you eat that nice large healthy salad with no olive oil or Italian dressing you aren't getting many of the vits in the salad... also fats trigger a hormone in your brain telling you that you are full... no fats not hormone trigger.
Good fats - all natural organic peanut butter (not the sugar jiffy stuff or those peanut butter cups
)
olive oils
flaxseed oils
fish oil... I actually take fish oil pills every day
Notice i did not say potato chips
Protein is really the key to losing weigh!! Your muscles eat protein.... if you are working out at all and not getting enough protein your losing muscle tone instead of gaining it. This is why body builders drink those protein drinks
more lean muscle means less flab and smaller sized clothes
They have great protein drinks out there... I know I lived on them for 4 months and still take 1 shake a day to get my protein requirements in. I shoot for 100 grams of protein a day. I dont always make it but that is my daily goal. Tuna fish is great for protein!!!! Black beans...really any kind of bean is good for both protein and fiber ... bonus points
Boiled shrimp (not battered and fried
) is almost all protein
By the time you get a 100 grams of protein down you in one day, you are not going to feel like snacking at night
So the goal is to find good fat/low carb foods that are super high in protein
Anyone do Fit day? I belong to fitday . com and they have a great food tracker/ fitness tracker with all kinds of bells and whistles. Anyone on any diet plan can use it to keep track of their intake.... GREAT PROGRAM!!!!
Also when on a diet make sure to take your vitamins!!!!!!
We ladies have high vitamin requirements (Lisa and I have even higher ones!)
Take a multi ... take a calcium but know the different kinds of calcium suppliments... Calcium carbonate will only be absorbed if you take it with a meal... calcium citrate can be taken without a meal...
Calcium helps you lose weight
Also many ladies who are losing weight end up enemic!
Do not take an iron pill with calcium! The two cross eachother out (in the most simple terms to explain it)
Take and iron in the morning and a calcium at night.
Take iron with Vit C and both are absorbed better
All this sounds confusing but it is my life
If you want a low fat/low sugar protein mix I would suggest Matrix perfect chocolate. YUMMY
I mix it in my coffee in the morning for a protein packed latte
She tied up my paypal acct while she dilly dallied around on sending the items back. She can just sit and wait for her refund...I'll do it when I get around to it....I am too busy Dissing to bother with her. she is getting nasty though....said she'd report me if she isn't refunded by 3/13. Whatever. I am soured on it all at this point. She asked me how I became so "evil"....I told her she's a manipulator and a scammer. It's getting ugly.
Must mean my family stresses me out when they're home.
I get neurotic and start stuffing myself.
(I still wish it was that easy for me!!
)
I just leave the items with my doorman in the lobby and the customer picks up the stuff and gives the cash to my doorman for me. Never have to see the people.

I want my tight vacation clothes to be a bit less tight.
