My stats;
53yr old Female
2 Grown Children (Both Breastfed)
Start; (Age 25ish)- 125lb, 5’7”, 30UB/32Bust (32A)
Current; Current; 135lb, 5’6”, 31UB 35.5Bust (32D)
I am over 50 but actually started my journey in my early 20s (yes, back in the 80's!). I have always had a small frame that gains weight easily, unfortunately it is around my hips and abdomen, and when I lose it comes off the boobs first, I have a REALLY hard time losing weight (and now just as hard maintaining a comfortable 135lb).
The women on my mother’s side of the family are all big busted (but they are also shorter and wider), my father’s side was all men but mostly taller and leaner. Both sides have thyroid issues and I as well take Armor for a low thyroid.
I have somewhat tubular (& very dense,... Doctors words!) glandular breast (when my weight is down they look like flat, soft, sad puppies, ...except when I was pregnant/breast feeding!).
I believe my growth was stunted bc I became pregnant at 16 and my normal growth hormones were stopped when the pregnancy took over.
Throughout the years I've tried Hypnosis, some kind of PC mixed cream, PM, BO, Noogleberry, and massage.
I believe issues with my thyroid, low body temp, and poor circulation have contributed to my poor success in the past.
(Please see my program page for details on all the stuff I've tried over the years!).
Skip forward TO THE PRESENT!
I continued to take the PM until November 1st 2019. At this time I stopped taking the PM and started MissMadScientist’s Flaxseed & Soy method. And I also started circular massage with FSO (with Nerolli EO to mask the oil smell) 2x per day, however I decided to massage in the opposite direction as I have in the past as I never had noticeable results with massage so I figured what do I have to lose?! (This time I would go up the middle and down the outside, like the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdAES4C9zNw)
I started having mild headaches in the 1st few days but I was about to start my cycle on November 4th and it is common for me to get headaches with my cycle. The headaches continued until my cycle was over on the 8th then they were gone. On November 3rd my breasts started feeling a little ‘itchy’ and I started feeling something “weird” going on in my right (bigger) breast, like a had a sore nipple and I thought maybe it was a reaction to the FSO, but continued to massage anyway. In the next few days I also started to feel something different in the rest of my right breast as well as my smaller left. It was a strange feeling (like others have said), but the best I can describe it is like when your milk starts coming in when pregnant, or when you start leaking/become engorged but not as strong. I also found what I thought was a sore nipple turned out to be a small tender spot behind the nipple (like the bud when your in puberty!). These feelings come and go and I don’t have them every day.
When my period ended on November 8th I expected to be deflated as usual but my breasts still felt a bit jiggly like jello. My weight is up 5lb (that’s a lot to me), It’s 5 of the last 10 pounds I struggle to loose and had been down the last year but now put the 5 pounds back on with this program.
I’m not sure if it is the Flax, the milk & soy, or the massage but it really feels hopeful to actually feel something for a change!!!
I do have some digestion issues from either the Milk or the Soy but I am going to give this a full 30 day trial, if I continue to have issues and have found this is working for me I may try switching to Almond Milk to see if it helps. Also, I was using the Bobs Red Mill Soy because that was the only thing local grocers carry but I have some of the Kinako ordered from Amazon and it should arrive today.
I apologize upfront because I am not real good about follow up but I will try to keep this updated this time around!
UPDATE November 15;
I haven’t felt the tingles for a few days, although the tender spot on my right breast is still there and both breasts still feel ‘itchy’ from time to time. The digestion (gas/bloating) is a bit better after using the Kinako vs the raw soy flour. Working with my macros to try to get the weight back down to 130, (or my goal of 125).
I measured and seem to be getting about a half inch swelling when I do the ‘backward’ massage so I think this massage is working better for me anyway.
So for now I’ll change nothing and see where I am at December 1st.
