Thanks to everyone for their replies :) I have issues with straps slipping too - on a previous fit I was told the straps should fit straight vertical but I've run out of shoulder by then so always have to have them at a slant and pulling them up all the time.
I'm a 36/38 back (depends on the bra) which wasn't changed despite the weight loss (!?!) down from a GG to an F cup though, again, I find it really does depend on the bras as a lot of them are different. I remember being in Bravissimo years ago and them saying they have different measurements to M&S and you should try on and have fitted all bras as measurements change from shop to shop and between ranges.
I was hoping to find something less heavy duty. I had a look on Bravissimo last night and found some lovely looking black ones, bit more than I was hoping to spend but might just have to invest in some good ones. Will have to try and get down to try some on.
Have people had much success with buying bras online?
Rozia, essentially I've been on quite a limited low fat diet (low fat doesn't mean low calorie necessarily though) and cut down on portion sizes. I have been unwell too though - it was for gallstones which can be made worse by eating fatty food. Pain is one hell of a motivator though. Just hope to keep it off now but it has changed my outlook on eating generally though - seeing how much fat is in everything horrified me.
No trick to it at all, just eating less and minimal fat - preferably also low calorie.
