 |  Bras....sorry guys
I cannot find a bra to fight right anymore. Everything is hanging so low I still need major support but then when I pull the straps tight they come up so high you can see them on the edges of my tops or worse yet all the skin hangs out under my arms over flowing from the top of the bra. With no bra on I don't even have anything where it should be....like breast bone only!! grrrrrr 
How do you hold the girls up? Help!!

You try on a heckuva lot of bras!!! First, go get fitted to what you should be in. I wore the same style bra as "before" down to nothing - LOL - that was when I went to Victoria Secret intent on spending a small fortune for a great bra. While I got good advice, their bras just didnt work for me. I have one word for you - foam! I found a Playtex style that has maximum coverage so there isnt any spillage. Good luck!

when i got to the awkward stage, i went to victorias secret and had them measure me. you dont have to buy a bra there but you will shocked and amazed to find you may have been wearing the wrong size all along. get measured!
PS> i gave in to the padding. everything seems to be padded now which is WONDERFUL. especially when you are cold constantly and have a bit of a "headight" problem. but they also provide a boost.
get measured and try on every style you can get your hands on. you will find something perfect. good luck!

Definately get fitted. You should be fitted every 6 months when you gain or lose weight. The full coverage bra is probably best due to the extra skin. You breast should "sit half way between your upper arm and elbow. That way you know you are wearing the correct bra. I know this cause I do bra fittings daily.

I got a couple padded bras, mostly to hide my "raisins" which have NOT left with the weight loss. I am very happy with them.
Hub always asks me why my bras are bigger now. LOL

I just went to Victoria's a couple of weeks ago. It was hilarious! I currently have only one bra that I can really wear but it is a long ways off from fitting and it is padded. So the lady starts to measure me with my bra and clothing on. I stopped her short and said that I am a long way from filling the bra but she insisted and measured me as between an A and B. I really am "a tree with bandaids" so I know that I am not close to a B. I saw that she just wasn't getting it and I decided to help her out so everything came off. Her mouth dropped and then she said "well, you are overdue for this fitting." I still left dissatisfied with the visit because every bra that I tried on had a huge gap at the top of the bra. I tried on one of my 10 year old's "training bras" and it was a perfect fit. Is that pathetic...lol. I am not wearing a "training bra" because I need to at least look like a woman...lol so the search continues.

I have found that the Lilyette Minimizer brand works for me. It is a little fuller coverage and helps with spillage by the arms, and it HIKES those babies up and smashes them into place. The KEY is the right fit! I am smaller around than I would have thought, but it keeps the bra in place- even though my cup size is still bigger than I would prefer. I really like one style they have has a cute little strap so if it shows a little I don't care so much. I get them at Kohl's- but have found one at Ross and one at Marshalls before.
Happy bra hunting!

I found an OLGA at Kohls that worked for a while....it's 4 pts of comfort satin edge...I had 3 of them, but they were 36's and now I wear a 34....I'm still buying DD's to pour my skin into, but it's funny...it's like lipid pools of wrinkles around the top...I swear I can roll the dadgum things up....I never dreamed I would be dying for a boob job and now it's the first thing I want fixed!!!

I'm going to have to try that Olga Bra. I don't like the minimizers anymore. Since I am like deflated beach balls the minimizers just smash them in farther. One thing I have noticed is a lot more bounce. Probably due to the, "lipid pools of wrinkles". Kind of waves like a waterbed. LOL
