Need help sucking in my gutt!

Ok, so I still have ALOT more weight to lose - but if you saw my body, you'd never be able to tell that I've lost 11 pounds shy of 200 pounds already.  My upper half, face/arms/chest/neck, are noticeably smaller, but from under my breasts on down, still huge.  Yes, many say smaller, but to me, the weightloss is not evenly distributed.  Hence, my stomach area, I guess that's what you would call it, right below my breasts to my waist, sticks out a lot still, and since my breasts are smaller now, that stomach area, sticks out a bit further than my breasts; almosts looks like I could be pregnant, in fact, a woman at a clothing store asked me if I was yesterday... wanted to die.  So now I'm trying to find something that would suck in that area, keep it from being so jiggly and to help my breasts protrude out more than that belly area. Mind you, I have a big flap of belly that hangs over my thighs/pubic area - what is that section called?  Who knows, to me, it's all one big belly, abnormally displaced all over the area below my breasts.

I need help - what do I wear to suck it in?  I am now wearing a size 50B bra and am barely fitting the B cup anymore.  Do they make something in my size that will work for me?  I need help, can you tell?  I wear a size 3x, borderline 2x shirt/top now, too.  I just feel like I'm at a loss with options here due to my size and mishapen body.

Help!!!

Hi Michelle: I know exactly what you are talking about!!  Spanx makes a thigh slimmer that has an extra long waist band that goes right up under your chest.  I know that there is also a lycra tube top looking garment that goes from under your chest to over your hips - just kind of smooths that whole area out.  Lane Byant has a nice selection of "foundation garments" that could help you with this problem. You might also want to start working on your core muscles.  I have been doing yoga for a few month now, and have noticed a big difference in my middle region.  No amount of exercise is going to get rid of the skin, but if you have tight muscles underneath, everything just hangs a little bit better!!

i think you need to stand on your head and walk around that way  you don't like that option???  how bout duct tape then????  don't like that option either????  spandex -- anything with spandex in it -- compression clothing  -- send a note off to A.J. and see what he says -- he swears by compression clothing -- target has cheapo compression clothing by Champion -- and walmart has their own brand too -- and ross was wearing it when he first started to lose the weight  and don't forget to complain to your PCP about how sore your back is from the hanging skin --and the rashes under your belly and your boobless boobs -- gotta make surgery medically necessary  and if all else fails -- stand on your head  love ya roberta
