Unexpected NSV

I lost a letter. For the first time since high school, there is only one solitary letter on my bra size. I was not expecting this, but after struggling to find one to fit well, tried to drop from a double cup to a single and BOOM! It fits.

I suspect this means I can now wear shirts with buttons.

Wonderful stuff, but kind of like when I lost a shoe size it was completely unexpected and has left me bemused.

Well done. I can't wait to shrink mine.

What's an NSV please?

NSV - non scale victory

Congratulations!! I'm starting to fit into some of my favorite old bras that were a bit too tight.

I use to be a 54 triple d, and know I'm anywhere from 46b to 46c depending on the material and how its made. It sure seems different, fitting into a bra that I probably haven't fit since at least 8th grade.

I am now in a 36D which seems a long way from a 44FF! I don't know why I didn't expect them to shrink! I think it was because when I was skinny in my teens, I still had big ones!

Though truth be told, without a bra I would now describe them as 'long'.

TMI apologies :-D

Me too I'm 24 and my boobs hang down to my stomach sitting down. I feel like I'm 60 when Itake my bra off when I go to bed

Yeah, I went from a 40D to a 36 Long.

:P

Yup know that feeling! Cosmetic surgeon looked at me with my clothes on when I went for a consult for breast reduction and lift and raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't think I needed much done.

Took off my bra and he instantly said it would be the most extensive lift he'd done!!!!

Can't wait for the day that, when I take my bra off, my boobs stay where they are and don't unravel like a sock with an orange in the bottom ;-)

Good for you I feel the same way I have around 80 more pounds to lose tell I meet my goal weight and I'm 4 months post op.

Congrats, the NSVs are as good, and sometimes better than just watching the numbers on the scale drop!

Wow. I already have National Geographic boobs that, when unleashed, point straight down. And I'm pre-op....

Ugh. Me too! I mentioned that little factor to my SO last night and he said well... Boobs are boobs... They don't define you. BUT. He's not understanding.... Boobs kinda do define women. So I'm a little concerned there but not enough to let it change my mind about RNY! (:
