Calling all *Curvacious* women!!

Great thread!! I see I'm the only one who has all these feelings.

 

I hear you hockeymom97 - I too am *big-boned* 5'9 with size 9/10 feet. No matter how much weight I try to lose, I will never be a size 0 - it's just in the cards. I'm just trying to exercise and stay healthy. You can still be a big girl and physically fit

 

Keep your chins up girls - you are all gorgeous inside and out and don't let anyone tell you different

HA! me too! When I lived alone I was always embarrassed to hang my laundry outside in case someone I knew stopped by and saw men's boxers hanging there! Also don't know if you read earlier on in the thread but there is a product called Body Glide which is fabulous to prevent heat rash between the legs, under arms, or anywhere there is rubbing!

Well - the sad thing is that those models are plus sized in the modelling world. Isn't Mia Tyler a famous plus sized model and she is a 12.

 

One tip for chub rub. I haven't run into the chub rub problem personally but 1 problem I have all the time is that my boobs chaf (sp.??) from the sweat and friction when I am running (I'm sure all you big boobied ladies can relate). It gets really red and painful. How I prevent it is I use the BandAid blister block, you can find it in the feet section of any drugstore where they have all the insoles, etc. I rub that on under my boobs and it completely stops the chafing. It is super cheap too and lasts a long time.

Cindy I completely understand, I have some big girls myself. Thanks for the heads up on the Bandaid blister block!

OMG!!!!!! haven't been around in forever and it seems like I've missed all the fun! Tonight, I am going to read back all the threads cause I miss you ladies!!!

[jajajaja]

Cindy- I like the idea of the blister blocker. I'd feel more comfortable buying that than the stick for chub rub. Seriously- it's embarrassing. "Oh honey... I'm struggling to walk right now because my chub is rubbing me raw."

Oh, Andi had that blister stuff that we used in Vegas, def helps for shoes, i am not sure I would use it for my inner thighs tho, a little thick.

[jajajaja]

You and Andi went to Vegas together? Did I miss something I def need it for my shoes too! Vegas is brutal on the feet.

OMG the chub rub!!! too funny.... a few weeks ago I was out for the day and it was a hot one.. My tighs were on fire and so was the band under my boobs were the bra lays. I got home and slapped on the aleo and crashed. It was so painful and the rash lasted for day. I'll have to try that stuff, because I suffered for days with the rash and pain.
