I need a good sports bra (or 2) but I wear about a 40DD. Needless to say they are not so easy to find in stores, but online they are aplenty. I have already come to the conclusion that it is going to cost a small fortune, but if I am going to invest, I want to invest wisely. I have no issues with underwires or racerbacks or anything like that. I want a bra that is going to keep me from getting a black eye (or two!) in Zumba. Any suggestions? Good luck, everyone!

I have 10cc in a 14cc band. Took quite a while to get there, but I actually think I need a slight adjustment, and I mean slight. My last fill was 5 months ago and he put in 1.5cc and I couldn't get down Water. He took 1/2cc out and I have been golden since. However, I think I may need a slight tiny adjustment to get me JUST right. I will talk it over at my next appointment. But, saying all that, I need to say this... BE PATIENT! The band is a tool not a miracle. You made the choice to have the surgery, now be patient with the process. Good luck, everyone!

I like the Chobani plain, then I add fruit and splenda. I also adore the Athenos with the fruit on the side. Perfect for taking to work, you mix in the fruit for sweetness and they are only 100 calories each.

Well not exactly the same, I found myself with unresolved food issues as well. I had lost almost 70lbs when I realized I still was "boredom" eating and not listening to my body. Thankfully my insurance covers Psychiatric services, so I started seeing a counselor and a dietician (this was not required prior to surgery for me). I did it out of frustration because I had plateaued, but I see it making a difference already. I hope that you will be able to see help because it has been a real eye opener for me! Good luck, everyone!

Nearly 16 bags of sugar... great way to look at it, btw! Good luck, everyone!

I don't make noises when I am eating or drinking, but my stomach has turned the volume to "11" on all crazy stomach noises. My surgeon told me it was normal, if somewhat embarassing! Some days are better than others! Good luck, everyone!

I have had small plateaus before, but this one is getting ridiculous! I still work out like I have been, tried to watch what I am eating, but I am maintaining, not loosing! Any suggestions! This is very frustrating! Good luck, everyone!

I have 4 Lane Bryant Cacique' Bras free to a good home, just pay the shipping. I have 2 size 42DD lace full coverage bras, one ivory and one off white. Gently used but still in great shape. I also have 2 size 44DD 5 way bras. They are strapless,but come with straps, including the clear straps and back straps, that can be worn several ways. Barely worn, they are also in great shape. One is ivory and the other is beige. If you are interested, send me a message and we will work out the details. Good luck, everyone!

I agree that you are not a failure until you stop trying! The band is a tool and has to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. Why did you put yourself through surgery if you don't want this to work? Restriction will not help if you are not putting in the effort. I am not familiar with you or your eating habits, but MyFitnessPal.com has done wonders for me to help track my calories and exercise! Good luck, everyone!

I started seeing a counselor a few months and at my appointment the other day she gave me a meal plan and points system. I have read through it, and I am still mildly confused. I am also intimidated by planning all my meals ahead of time. I am single and live alone, so left overs last FOREVER! Has anyone else used or is currently using either or both of these methods? What were your experiences and results? Advice? Suggestions? Thanks, and good luck, everyone!

My biggest tip is exercise. MyFitnessPal.com has also been a big help in tracking my calories and exercise. I actually eat about 1400 calories a day. I am thrilled with my weight loss but I started seeing a counselor because I still do not feel my relationship with food is healthy. Thanks for the encouragement! Good luck, everyone!

Way to go! You should be VERY proud of yourself and what you have accomplished! You are an inspiration! Good luck, everyone!

First, here are some I have already accomplished: I can now cross my legs like a lady without any aid from my arms! I do not have to ask for a seat belt extender on an airplane (as a matter of fact, last time there was some tail on the belt!) Wear the same size as my bestie again ( I recently raided her closet) Buy a bra from Victoria's Secret Weigh less than 200lbs FUTURE GOALS: Come off my BP meds Start dating again Ride all the Rides at Cedar Point (my hometown) Get rid of the Jello jiggle under my arms Get rid of my Thunder Thighs Become a Zumba instructor Return my bestie's clothes and borrow from my sister! I am sure there of more, probably some I haven't even thought of yet! Good luck, everyone!

Since there have been no taker, these are going into a yard sale to benefit my best friends cousin who has cancer. Thanks for looking. Good luck, everyone!
