Funderthings - shopping for lingerie becomes fun!



Recommended Posts

One of the joys for me in achieving fitness (ie firming the flesh) and achieving an average size (10/12) was buying pretty panties and bras AND not breaking the bank to do so. Genetics gave me a huge rack, obesity made it even more astronomical and although beautiful lingerie does exist in plus sizes (I was a 44H/ 24panty at my largest), you will pay megabux for them. But just being able to go to Target and riffle amongst the pretty cottons and laces in the 3 for $10 bin is so much fun! And getting to wear different cuts, low rise boy cut, lacy thongs, flutter tap pants ... and being able to actually wear a pretty bra that didn't cost over $100, AND being able to just get my size off the rack, is awesome!

If you look at my underwear drawer you could track my progress: my sad beginnings, my triumphant self confidence, my depression and decline, and my rally - enormous granny panties in depressing eggshell and tan, tye-dye low rise cheekies, granny panties again, and briefs but at least in upbeat colors and patterns. I have kept all of my pretties from my height of fitness last year with the goal of getting into my own pants again, ha!!

Oh, what fun to look forward to! I'm in wait mode for insurance approval and my bras are SOOOOOOOOOOOO worn out--but I'm refusing to buy any more in this size! I'd love to fit in something pretty and have it look good!

I feel like we are in the same boat! I can't wait to be a normal size but I have to wait my turn.... It's all up to the insurance company.... Worn out bras are gonna have to do for now i refuse to buy anything my size anymore.....But that feeling I'm gonna get buying a simple cheap sexy bra is going to be awesome...

Of all my disappointments with my loss stall and regain, the greatest is not being able to wear all of my adorable pretty fun sexy underthings v_v

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
