The only other thing ive done are stomach vacuum exercises and the 'swoop and scoop' method for wearing a bra :L lol I have no idea where the rolls of fat have gone!

And even now i only use it 4-8 hours a day 2-3 times a week. but ive still managed to comfortable lace down the full 4 inches. Also, perminent inch loss isnt that uncommon, as it can help control over eating so naturally you'd lose weight my ribs havnt moved as far as im aware, my waist has gotton smaller, but yea i imagine that would take years to achieve.

I lost ten pounds recently, so my waist is already 1.5" smaller than when I first tried to waist train. BTW,the 10 lb weight loss had nothing to do with the corset, if you're wondering. I wasn't even wearing it at the time. Wish me luck!

What I've found is that some women take to corsets very easily, often to their complete surprise. Once they start they want to get another inch off the waist.
Other women try to refuse, and then say they can't breathe, can't move, can't poop, can't move etc and accuse me of trying to kill them.
What I find interesting is that for years and years women HAD to wear corsets - it was not only beauty, but also morality and posture.

I don't just want a corset at this point, I NEED one in order to be able to work more than 20 hours a week. :/ I've been in a lot of pain and it makes me mad that I never bought a new corset before. I thought my back was ok since I've been working my midsection more. Guess not.
Still looking for a short corset so that it doesn't dig into my high hip bones. I actually still have scars on my hips, unfortunately. Since 20" corsets are so hard to find, I may have to just settle for 22", which, if I'm not trying to waist train seriously, I guess is ok.
How's everyone else doing with everything?

I just wanted to add something here.
If you want to build your ab muscles and you have a bad/weak back, that is unfortunately one of the WORST things you can do for your back. NOT because you removed the corset which functions as a brace and possibly even a crutch in some situations, but because the abdominals are opposing muscles to the back. If you strengthen one set of muscles, the opposing set of muscles will be weaker as they are no longer in balance. Basically, what was already a bad back in your case was made worse by having strong abdominals. If you want to workout your ab muscles, you might want to consider doing some exercises for your back as well. Obviously, you do not have to focus on building the back muscles. Strengthening is all that is necessary in your case.
I hope you will be able to bring your back pain to an end soon!!!
