Back Boobs?

You know, annoying/embarrassing back fat that is pushed up and over your bra?

Any specific exercise routines, tips is appreciated!! :)

I have worked out for over three years consistently now, and my trainer always says it's ALL OVER FAT LOSS that causes you to lose fat. SO, cardio and weights will burn fat and tone your body in all areas and you will see a reduction in the "back boobs." Make sure you are doing lat pulldowns, bent over rows, or take a kick boxing class to really move that upper body and tone the muscles. But, cardio is the key to all over fat loss. I'm still on that road and have seen huge differences!

I'd agree - all those problem spots, the only way to lose them is all over fat loss - cardio, diet and increasing muscle mass through generalised strength training.

Do go and get a bra properly fitted though, I never had real back boobs, but did have a small bra roll and it was completely fixed by going down in the back size, up in the cup size - the back no longer rode up to my shoulder blades and back roll was eliminated. Most people are walking round in a bra that's too big in the back, too small in the cups.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
