how is it possible that i had been wearing a 42DD for the LONGEST time, and i went to jcpenney today because my boobs are doing some weird things and got measured. apparently i'm REALLY a 42DDD!? what the hell was my bra size BEFORE losing 61lbs????

i feel like i'm doing this being a woman thing all wrong!

Adorable post. Your boobies must be happy.

I hate boobs... Let me just put it out there. Mine got so big after kids I had to buy them online so I always just made due with what got mailed to me. Now that the cup is actually starting to fit I'm kind of embarrassed that I was wearing it 50 lbs heavier....

Who would have thought your boobs would get BIGGER Hope you're more comfortable at least!

My guess is you might be being fitted wrong. There is a great place here called Intimacy. Most of us are wearing way too big of a band size and too small of a cup size. I thought I was 38DD for the longest time, but since being fitted for the first time about 8 years ago and a number of times since I have ranged from a 32G to 34H and everything in between. Being fitted correctly helped my shoulders and back so much that I stopped pursuing a breast reduction.

I feel your pain...it seems I have never worn the right size. I got fitted by a professional and now my bras actually fit correctly. I am really hoping as I lose weight my boobs go down as well, they are in the way!

Ok so here's a question for you guys...how in the heck are we supposed to be fitted for a bra when they measure you with one on?!

I went to get fitted once and they just took a tape measure around the boobs with my clothes all on and rattled off a size and then left.

If you can get to a place like Intimacy, you take off your shirt and bra, they look, and they bring a bunch of stuff for you to try. I'm cheap but am happy to spend on a bra that lifts these suckers.

Nordstrom also does decent fittings, but I find the specialization at Intimacy can't be beat.

Amen - they are a pain in the back (well actually lots of places) but my husband seems attached.
