Even though you still have 200 lbs to lose, please make sure you buy good supporting bras.  Around the house of course you want to be comfortable, but when getting dressed a good bra makes all the difference how you look .  Even at 200lbs to lose, you still can look really nice with a good bra to make your clothes fit nice upon your body.  I still believe no matter how big we are, make-up, fixing your hair, jewelry and perfume can go along ways with making us feel good about ourselves!   Jane

I totally agree!! Neither of these bras offers much support. If the girls are up and in place, it makes us look so much better no matter what our size is. I cringe when I see people posting pics here in bad bras. C'mon, ladies!! We can do better!!!

I'll admit I did let most of my clothes get big and sloppy before I repalced them when I was losing, but I always did my best to have good supportive bras along the way.

I wear my Genie bras all the time.  I get them a bit small and I get a lot of support.  I wear 36DD and it's hard to find bras that fit that don't cost a fortune and aren't terribly uncomfortable.  With the Genie I feel supported and I feel they minimize me, too. I bought the Genie bras because they were less expensive then the Ahh bras but I just purchased some Ahh bras from Ebay that were less then $5 each so I will let you know how they are after they come.  From what I can see they are identical. I have also heard that you can wear 2 of them together for more support.   While I still take off my Genie bra as soon as I get home I still find them more comfortable then any other bra I have worn.  If I had the money I would get a breast lift and get rid of bras all together but until then this is the next best thing.  I think I look a lot better in the Genie bra then I do in any other bra I have tried.  Plus I can wear a lot of different things and it doesn't matter if the bra shows since it looks like a tank top.  I wear it with sleeveless tops and even spaghetti string tops and halters and it looks pretty good.  I can wear a lot of tops with the bra that I wouldn't wear otherwise.

 They sure DO minimize you!!!    They minimized me from a B cup right down to a negative A.  I thought I must have taken my "girls" off and put them on my dresser when I looked down after putting on the Ahh bra. . .'cause they were no where to be found!!

Lol, for me that is a good thing.  I made a mistake and got implants without a lift and one of them has shifted and my girls just are sad looking.  With the Genie on it puts them where they are supposed to be and makes them look like a normal size, not porn size.  When I wear the Genie people actually look me in the eye and not in the chest.

 Oh my gosh, neither one!!!    I have never looked much like my 90 year old grandFATHER in my life, but when I put on the Ahh bra by Shear, there was his chest staring back at me in the mirror!! ;)

When you lose a lot of weight, the girls tend to lose also, and when you're in your 40's, they sometimes lose their "perkiness" as well as size, so those bras do NOTHING to help lift them back up where they used to be. . .and have the added negative of smashing them flatly into non-existence!! 

So. . .I ended up with pancake flat "girls" somewhere just above my navel!!
