re: Weight loss journey

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" I would only purchase the 34 band if it fits comfortably on loosest clasp, if snug on loosest it may not ever fit right, ya know?"

Yeah, and what sucks is there's not a VS anywhere close around here so I have to order online.  

But my 36D is loose on the tightest clasp and it's definitely the band and not the cup..

Hey all!
I see this was started in the beginning of this year but I was wondering if I could join?

I think I'll try a 34 and if it comes and it's too tight, I can send it back.

So what do you guys do to lose weight?

Quoting ☮[amber].™:" Thanks! So what do you guys do to lose weight?"

Eat less, exercise more.   But really!

I've been yoyo-ing between Insanity, P90 (like P90x, but for the weakling!), Brazil Butt Lift and today I brought the 30 day shred back in my life.

I'm totally a smoothie-er too. I have one every day for breakfast, I used to do two a day, but I've recently switched my lunch to yogurt and fresh fruit.

I make sure to drink half my weight in water(oz) a day too! They say to get at least 64, and I average around 90+!

I rarely ever drink pop, juice, etc. I'll splurge once a month for a day or two, but that's it. I also try and avoid white bread, pasta, etc. but lets get real, sometimes it's hard to turn down.  

My weightloss with pictures are a couple pages back. (I realllllllllly need to delete it soon though! lol) Right now I'm on my next goal of losing 20 more pounds before my hubby gets home (he's deployed) and I actually only have about 18lb more! My ultimate goal is to get in between 135-140lb.

Thats awesome! How tall are you?
Im counting calories. And its HARD lol. I really dont feel like I EVER have time to exercise because of work. I work 50+ hours a week and when Im at work Im never sitting down. So I look at it like at least Im basically walking all day. I really want to get one of those step counter things to see how much I do a day.

I'm 5'6! And yeah, I'm reallllllly just wanting to be under 160 by the time he's home (sometime in February!) and then we're both going to keep up with working out, because we want to TTC in July/August, but I told him I won't unless I'm under 140.  

Are you using my fitness pal to help you count or anything? I've tried counting calories but I always fail.   I'm sure you're working off a lot of calories if you're always on your feet! I work 50+ hours too, but my job is basically a desk job.   So I have to work out in the morning or else I feel ick all day. lol!

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" I'd get a 34 then!"

So, I've never really taken any sort of measurement of myself. I mean I'll take them here and there but nothing consistent, I always rely on the scale and my clothes to decide if I'm losing weight or not.  

BUT! I have my order all ready to check out at VS and I have a nifty tape measure in my purse, so I figured what the heck, I'll just measure and maybe that'd give me an idea. Last time I measured there(beginning of the summer) I was a 37 and of course that's when the 36 was snug at first, then fit perfect after few wears. I just measured.. and I'm at 34 exactly.   So, I think it's safe to say a 34 will work!

Quoting aℓyssa™:" Which, I have a slight dilemma and I'm really not sure what to do here. I bought a bra in October, ... [snip!] ... year getting a 36C, and then the next year a 36D and that's where I stayed (with my weight gain though I was up to a 38 DD  ).

I agree that the 34 would probably do the trick! When Ive been they always told me to buy it where it fits in the middle hook so if you are having a bloated day you can go one out or if you are having an extra-non-bloated day you can use the smallest hook. I am so excited for the sale to start in stores on Wednesday!  
Idk if you already do this but a tip I discovered last year. Save your receipt if you buy it in store and you can get a price adjustment if you take it back within 14 days and they have it more on sale! I did this last year and ended up buying several panties for $6.99 and getting them for $2.99 later.
