Today, after losing about 40 pound with Alli, I was able to remove the extender from my favorite bra. It seems like such a silly thing to be excited about, but I am. We all have favorite underwear, and my favorite style of bra has a three-hook back. I'm large-breasted, and when I gained weight, the same style jumped to four hooks in the next size. The broader back strap was not comfortable for me because I'm short, so I added an extender piece. Had noticed that my bra was getting looser. Today was a real milestone when I was able to throw out that 2 inch extender. YEA!
