I'm a 28 A cup and the problem I'm having is that they don't seem to make 28 A's. I've found some 30 A's, which I can wear on the last hook, but If anyone knows where I might find a 28 A then that'd be great.
Also, I'm 5'1 maybe 5'2 and I weigh 107. but I want to lose 10 lbs at the least by the end of summer hopefully 17 if I can make it. I just want to know if this is possible? Please dont give me a meal plan though because I already have one thats been working for me. I just want some excercises that will tone my legs and arms, but please don't include running or swimming because lets face it thats torture for me and I wouldn't keep it up. As for my stomach, Will 200 crunches a day tone it and when will results appear? (its already flat with a little bit of muscle, but i want more lol).
You can answer either question :)
Thanks (:

Just so you know, for each inch over 5', you're supposed to add 5 to 100. So if you're 5'2", your ideal weight would be 110. If you're 5'1", your ideal weight would be 105. You really don't need to lose weight.
Also, muscle weighs more than fat. If you tone your muscles, you'll actually weigh more. Ignore the scale, and pay attention to your size.
So, for toning your arms, curls and tricep extensions work - you want to use light weights and lots of reps. This is what I do for arms:
4 sets of 20 reps of curls/tricep extensions supersets (those are when you go right from one exercise to the other without taking a break. Like, you do a set of 20 curls then go straight to a set of 20 tricep extensions.)
I also do 4 sets of 20 flies and freeweight bench press.
Since you're just starting to work out, though (I'm assuming), you probably want to start at 10 or 12 reps, then move up if they feel too easy for you.
Pushups are also good for arms, back, and abs. Again, try to keep your reps above 10.
200 crunches is all fine and dandy, but you probably want to do different kinds of crunches to tone the different muscles. I do partial curls, frog leg crunches, reverse crunches, L crunches, and side crunches - 2 sets of 20 each, so that amounts to 240 crunches - pretty much daily.
One type of crunch probably isn't enough. You'd be better off splitting your 200 crunches into a couple sets of some number of a few different ones. If you want more details/help, drop one in my inbox.
Good luck!

I think that it's great that you want to get in chape and stuff, but the truth is, if you lost 10 pounds you would technically be underweight. it is important to be at a healthy weight, and being underweight can cause very serious health issues with your bones, blood, and entire body. If you lost 17 pounds you would be DANGEROUSLY underweight. What I suggest is continuing your meal plan, that is great that it works for you, but make sure that it is atleast 1000 calories a day, probably 1200-1500 would be best. I think that you should focus on achieving the look you want rather than the number on the scale. If you do excercises you aren't going to lose a lot of weight, since muscle weighs more than fat, but you will look much more toned and fit.
for excercises I suggest using free weights, probably 8 pounders and move to 12 or fifteen pounds later. do regular bicep curls, then put it behind your shoulders for tricep curls. try to do 20 pushups a day. also, do calf raises. stand flat footed and lift yourself onto the balls of your feet and then back down. for thighs you can do wall sits where you sjust sit with you knees perpendicular to the wall, it's tricky but you should try it.
biking helps tone legs as well,
yes, crunches help, but google crunches and find a few different ways to do them, because doing 200 of the regular ones won't tone your obliques and stuff.
goodluck!
