Default Size: small, used to be XL

clothes size, that is.

I used to wear XL sized shirts and such. Yesterday, my wife went
shopping and she brought me a size small sweater with a tall neck. I
put it on and it looked great!

Now that's pretty good for "gratification"...

Cool! You deserve to celebrate :-).

I've actually bought a few Small sweaters and knit tops lately, though
mostly I take Medium or Large. Some brands just run big. I'm quite
big in the shoulders so I don't think I'm ever likely to be a Small in
most things.

The other day I went to buy some new spandex stuff for the gym --
because Tom kept laughing at how my 2X spandex shorts fit. I bought
some shorts and pants in size Large that fit nicely. And I finally
found -- at Target -- a sports bra that I didn't have to order for
beaucoups bucks from the Junonia (plus size) catalog. I wasn't too
thrilled that I needed a 2X, though. I am really not all that busty
-- just sort of wide through the chest. It seems like sports bras run
very small or something. Oh well...

I agree that most sports bras run small. I always have to buy a larger
size than my normal bra size. It's not just you...

I'm glad to hear that. I found it sort of depressing to have to buy a
2X in anything.

I have to buy a size smaller to keep everything still. Too much bounce puts
stress on some nerves and causes me pain in any high impact activity.

The trouble with smaller sizes is that I can't fit everything in :-).
I don't think you're supposed to bulge out of them at the sides...

I'm glad I can fit it all in. I am really enjoying this new bust of mine.
With the extra emphasis on pec stretching and workout (from the physical
therapist in order to help with the nerve problems) I'm getting downright
perky.

Well, I'm down from a 44F to a 40D, which is good. But I've noticed
that the sports bras in catalogs often say, "Fits up to C cup." and
they seem to be telling the truth :-). I wouldn't mind being a little
smaller, and I suppose I will be when I lose a little more weight.

I just recently went from a C to a B. Started at 48C, was at 36C for quite
a while, now I'm 36B. I'm also noticing the skin tightening up all over,
including the chest. I'm using Palmer's cocoa butter lotion & have been
since I started plus the resistance work (Curves & dumbells & yoga).
