you're gonna do great and I'm gonna push you and encourage you! we canadian girls need to stick together!!

I haven't worn shorts since I was 10, sleeveless since I was about 12 and skirts below mid calf in prob 15 years....Thank goodness for being Orthodox now. I have an excuse to dress excessively modest! LOL

cheers!

Thanks A! You are a machine when it comes to exercise so I will use you as my inspiration! What type of pedometer did you receive and what makes it special?

[donbert61]

I wished we closer as well! I think we would get along famously!! :) So it's breast tissue, eh??? GOOD LORD!! I better have my hubby check my shoulder blades...there might be a couple of nipples I didn't know i had!!!

lol that hubby's gonna catch you with the cereal!! hahaah! and girl you had me crackin up with the bra stories. I was just tellin katiejuly that i'm in the same bras that I was in 50 lbs ago and think it's time to go bra-shopping too. this video gave me that added push that it's time! lol thanks!

I think it's time to have a real bra "consultant" find me something to wear. I have to do something!

.....but I am with you regarding no body surgery......unless my ins. pays for it if I get bad rashes....then forget it....it will never see the light of day. I insist on 3/4 length sleeves too! And pants and skirts below the knee.

[donbert61]

I haven't worn shorts or above the knee skirts in 20 years and I have NEVER, EVER worn a sleeveless top!!! Even as a teen my upper arms were huge.

Hey! I have that skin area too! I am having a hard time shopping for bras because of that, too! Let us know if you figure it out! Until then, lean forward when you put on your bra and stuff it all in the cups! :)

Oh donna....you're so funny, but the issues you're bringing up are serious.

First of all, you need to go to a real bra shop and get properly measured. It will make the world of a difference. The "stuff" on the sides is prob. breast tissue. We're all built differently, and you're just as normal as all the rest of us!I want to encourage you to keep plugging away at the gym..you'll get so much better! I started by doing a mile in 15 mins, now I do a 7 minute mile and go for 40 mins straight!

Funny you mention the bra thing. Last week I tried on 12 bras at WallyWorld and had the EXACT same side muffin top issue and didn't end up buying a thing. Then I went to visit a friend today in a small town and she suggested going to a specialy ladie's intimate shop they have for a bra fitting. Within 3 tries she had me in a bra I love! It fits really well with minimal side stuffing and I look smaller now! I will go there from now on 'cause they really know their boobs! hee hee

YOu crack me up! Loved your video. I am soooo PROUD of your for taking the first steps to excercise. You are much better off starting slow because if you don't you're gonna be so sore and then won't want to go back again. You can't learn to walk without taking baby steps first.

You and I have the same problem someone told me about a bra called the butterfly bra??? try googleing it see if you can find it....love that you can talk about this subject I just talked about the spanx shaper it was my last video...how cool...thanks for sharing...love rosemary

Okay and that 4 inches is actually breast tissue. Hard to believe. I have it on ONE side. My breast surgeon told me that's what it is. Lucky us!
