I finally have gotten down to a comfortable weight, amazingly enough, by watching what I eat, and abiding by the 9 servings of vegees a day rule.

In the past, when I lost weight, by intense cardio and so on, my boobs were always the first to go.

Now, this time, because of an injury, and NOT being able to run, I just focused on dieting, and the occasional weight lifting routine twice a week.

I still got down to my dream weight, and I kept my boobs by taking those breast supplements.

I love the results!! No PMS, my boobs are actually better than before I lost the weight, (and sex is better too, as my husband totally noticed the results)

My fear is this. Are those supplements safe? You are not suppose to use the supplements past 90 days.

What do you think?

Congratulations Debbie! I think Miranda's comment about weight training, and keeping your boobs intact is accurate. Though I have ample boobage, I do find when I'm regularly working out (incl. weight work) my boobs stay in better shape.


You don't mention what supplements you're taking, but you could try doing a google search on them to see if you can find any info on them (www.google.com)


Once again, way to go on hitting your goal!

It is called

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Vitex (Chaste Tree Fruit Powder)

Saw Palmetto

Damiania

Dong Quai

Fenugreek

Dandelion

Blessed Thistle

Kava Kava

I've noticed some of these ingredients in PMS supplements, or vitamins for women. Fenugreek, I've heard aids in breast feeding.

I took Saw Palmetto and Fenugreek after I weaned my DS. I was shocked going from breastfeeding breasts to post-breastfeeding ones. I think the herbs actually helped. I won't say I saw any miracles, but they definitely helped me bounce back...so to speak! I did not use any particular brand, and I saved a lot of money buying the herbs separately. There is really no limit to how long you can use Saw Palmetto. Lots of men use it a long time for prostate problems.

I totally agree, that the herbs helped. I've breast fed as well, (it was a while ago though) and my breasts are totally different, than before. I went from a B, to a DD. Not complaining, but the herbs, I noticed, helped with fullness, and firmness. I am a total beleiver.

Thanks for your response.
