Just spend 5 days in the woods, mostly naked. Loved it.

FWIW, I would not do this in the regular world.

FWIW? (new to forums) Well I lounge around home like that lol

I don't think you're a troll but I agree with Amy and bloodorchid, the breast cancer thing is a bit far fetched. That said I do think that it is healthier, if you have small to medium girls to develop your own muscular support structure instead of relying on a bra to hold it together. Push ups etc. But, if the girls are large, a bra is probably a good idea.

Getting your whole self down to a healthier weight will make the girls weigh less too unless you have the augmented kind (talk about un-Grokian).

Personally, I hate bras and wear them as little as possible.

I've always had some big boulders even my parents have been pushing for me to get a breast reduction for years, but I'll worry about that AFTER I reach my goal. Now that I've found a new lifestyle that I LOVE. They've already shrank just a teensy bit (so excited!) And I certainly wasn't going to do this as they are now, Christ, I'd get black eyes and knock out children if I went braless in day to day life as is lol. Thanks for the insight.

I can't see a problem for smaller breasted gals going braless, but for myelf (sporting a 34H, which is not as glamorous as most people seem to think) I can't go without if I'm doing any sort of activity. For lounging around the house I go without, but since my main activity is horse back riding and involving a lot of trotting and cantering, just.. no. Just no. Not only does it look rediculous to be bouncing enough to knock myself out, even a loose bra that allows some bounce is painful to bounce in, so I actually double sports bra when I ride, and sometimes when I run, too.

Edit: I've seen articles about going braless, too. That hoisting the chest in a bra means the supportive ligaments in the breast tissue gets weak from not being used and then actually makes later sagginess even worse. But I guess if you use common sense and support them when needed or for important public get togethers (showing up braless at a wedding or a funeral would be incredibly frowned upon, of course) then there probably isn't much of an issue. Or at least if you can get away with it, a tank top with a shelf bra or something in it.

OK. Interesting article. There were some valid points about ill fitting or too tight bras causing lymphatic blockage. While I agree that underwire bras are torture devices, I think that article wanders off a bit into woo-land with the energy fields, etc.

Yeah, I have H's too....And yeah, horseback riding braless.....hell no lol! Thanks though, it's not often I get to talk to another with huge mams. It really does suck.

Well that's Mercola for ya. He interviewed Mark a while back. Whole thing's on youtube. Great for a listen if you've an hour to spare.

Before I lost weight I was about a 40D. Now I'm a 36B and absolutely loving the smaller size. I found Mark's Primal Blueprint Fitness essential movements to be really great for toning up the whole chest/shoulder/back support structure.

+1 on the woo-woo factor for that one, JMO.

I had an aunt who never wore a bra in her life, only men's undershirts. Come to think, she never wore any womens' clothing nor did she ever marry or have a boyfriend ... hmmmm, you don't suppose ... ? LOL! No one in my (massively biggoted and uptight) family ever uttered the disgraceful 'L' word but I reckon that's what it was. I was too young to understand and she was my favorite relative. Anywho, she died of breast cancer and I guarandamntee it wasn't bra-caused.
