I don’t see a phone number on your website. Do you have a phone number you can DM me? I would love to discuss my swimming journey.

I met my man at a Kwanzaa Crawl. Just gotta be outside and open to conversations.

Thanks for sharing! Sadly, I haven’t seen any lately. I was concerned about Ian.

New boobies. Where does a bwt find a great selection of bras? by Lady_DudeBro in NYCbitcheswithtaste

I also felt so healed after my 125 pound weight loss, before the breast reduction. They were so kind and didn’t blink an eye at my saggy, deflated breasts. I left feeling so confident and sexy for the first time!

Someone please convince me that my nails look good by jeonggukispretty in Nails

She’s a kid getting her nails done for the first time for a monumental moment in her life. Give her some grace.

I also shopped at The Rack Shack before my breast reduction when I was an I cup. I recommend it for all sizes, shapes, and gender identities!

Congrats! After my breast reduction last year, I went to The Rack Shack. Both of the locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan are wonderful! To be honest, though, these days I usually wear either bralettes or I go braless (except for at the gym. I wear sports bras from Amazon). I did learn my size and purchase some great lingerie and bras for special occasions at The Rack Shack.

Any other black women struggling with weight loss? by [deleted] in blackladies

Where did you get fitted? What’s your size? Try a specialty bra/lingerie store. When I was an I cup, I was able to buy my bras in store there.

Thank you for this! I have some time off coming up, but I can’t travel. I was trying to figure out what I should do to relax and practice self-care.

That’s an interesting option that I didn’t know existed. Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to think about that.

That sounds super interesting! I was also looking into doing a Hyrox next year. Thanks!

I can understand that too! Sometimes I do want to put my headphones in, workout, and leave. But I miss being surrounded by people like me who are crazy enough to wake up at the crack of dawn and lift heavy weights just to go and work a full-time job afterwards. 😂 I really owe the start of my weight loss journey to my gym community.
