  • I don't know the answer to this, but if it were true, I would think the Far East population would be a little larger up there ... both women and men ... right? Hate to generalize, but ...

    Nordstrom rack sells the slimming shirts 2for $25 i recommend sizing down. They last a few months before u need new. I get them for my hubby. I think the brand is tommy john? allons-y

  • I wear the Under Armour compression shirts. I can usually find a $10 off coupon at d**k's Sporting Goods. They keep everything, no just the moobs, from jiggling too much while exercising, too. Well

Your 28, Once the weight it off, with exercise the pecs will tighten up.

Get a compression shirt in the meantime

Spanx does make mens compression garments. Otherwise, once all of your weight is gone, if you don't have any luck firming them up, and still feel self concious about them, you can have them surgically removed.

Im not that vain. Im not subconscious enough to spend 140 on a shirt just to hide man boobs. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I know what u mean , I am self conscious enough to spend it and 24 mo out ill c a plastic surgeon

But I like to swim and a lot of our door stuff

Sometimes I'm not real sure there's a lot that can be done. Do you do any chest exercises? That's what I'm implementing to help and it seems to be working a little. Also, you seem fairly young low "T", but are your testosterone levels ok?

Actually no they aren't. I also have thyroid issues and was prescribed synthroid but its new and I dont think im at the right dosage yet.

Ha! The auto-censor made asterisks out of the reference to the sporting goods store ... I guess they need to change their name to Richard's Sporting Goods.

I see. Are you currently taking anything...testosterone shots/cream, etc? I've read on here a few times that low T can contribute to this issue.

Just the synthroid. My doc says thats whats causing the low t

If your levels are off, you may want to get your estrogen levels checked out. Low T doesn't play much in the role of gynocomastia, or gyno, but elevated estrogen levels are a major component. Get the levels checked, and if the doc won't give you anything for the low t, or high E, fire the doctor.

Hmmmm.....conundrum.......

Mark!......do you know if there is any truth to soy Protein raising estrogen levels?
