Size: small, used to be XL

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... Chris |

Chris 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... Beverly |

Too much bounce puts stress on some nerves and causes me pain in any high impact activity. Jennifer |

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.

Jenn 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. Chris |

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). Jenn |
