@Beautiful life, Warners make bras that completely eradicate the problem. I have seen quite a few companies that have them. They smooth everything out and really work.

@Beautiful life Anything I say, I'm sure you already know. Sometime we just need some encouragement to carry out what we need to do. You have already owned up to the challenge. Losing the weight is 90+% of the issue, the other -10 is exercise and we all know there is no such thing as "spot reduction". However, I really like lat pulldowns at the club to stimulate back definition as part of a comprehensive weight program. Losing weight and working out, I know, we have heard it a million times. If you want some support, join us in Wellness "commit to be fit". We have 5 1/2 weeks left of a challenge and you are welcome to post your daily food and workouts. Small group of positive encouraging posters. Love to see you, those 5 1/2 weeks can make a difference!

Shapeez Unbelievabras. These bras are the absolute best for hiding back fat. I like the shortee and the tank styles. I've been wearing them for several years and although they are expensive, they hold up well. I have found that I have to go up two cup sizes in the minimizer style, but stay with my regular cup size in the molded cup version. I order mine from the Shapeez website and don't know of any stores that carry them. I highly recommend.

I think the key is like several others have already posted. A good fitting bra designed to help with back fat and also not buying tops in clinging fabrics. It is hard to find a good style and fit but it can be done. It is the same kind of thing for women who have tummies.

Just wanted to add, I weighed 118 at 5'8 and lived in the gym and have always noticed without the right bra, no matter what my weight, I dealt with this.

Weight loss isn't always a solution...

@Beautiful life

Keep in mind...you can't spot lose fat

Best bet is cardio, clean up your diet and do weight training. And I don't mean with tiny 5 lb. weights. Log onto www.bodybuilding.com. Lots of different exercises for the back. Rows are excellent. Educate yourself with weight training and don't be afraid to lift heavy. (Start of light, of course!).

Good luck!!

A clean diet and the right weight training. You can spend a lot of time on exercise but if you're not training right you won't see the results. You need to focus on the posterior chain. And, as @phoenixbird pointed out, results are hightly dependent on what you're eating.

You can wear the bras and whatever, but when those come off you've still got the back fat.

@phoenixbrd You are a beautiful person, I know this by what you speak. You are very gracious as well.

I do what you do and much more in fact to work my entire body. Tweaking one's diet is hard I get t hat but it can be so easy too. I've done that as well, and took myself one step further and eat gluten free though I do not need. I feel and look great.

To all of those who offered weight loss/excercise options, thank you.

I'm sure that is helpful to some people & any tips that have actually worked for people that we "know" are good to read.

And, maybe that is what @Beautiful life is looking for.

But, a good bra with at least 3 hooks, that fits correctly without being too tight-will cut into you & show through your clothes.

Too loose, & it will pull up & set oddly on your body & emphasize extra weight on your back.

Our Kohls has a huge department for bras. It is incredible how many I need to try on to get the look & fit that I am looking for. So I will take the time to do that & watch for a sale & get great bras for a low price.

You can go to a specialty store & get measured & fitted & that is one way to go. You will pay a bit more for your bras, but it will be worth it.

And, aging or weight loss/gain will make it necessary to re-fit those bras.

I don't mean for this to sound snarky, but lose some weight and it will go away. That's how I got rid of it, but I know that's easier said than done. I could never tolerate those shaping garments.

It was one of the first "areas" to correct itself, in fact.

@Beautiful life

I have extra weight also but don't have back fat issues. I am surprised that I don't, but that is just my built. My back actually feels bony. My issue is with my thighs which have been a problem even when I weighed 110. Just trying to convey that even at perfect weight or weight loss there can be certain body areas which we are unhappy with and may need to find creative ways to disquise those areas.

Spanx Thinstincts cami smooths everything out and is comfortable to wear. QVC carries it but periodically Zulily has them for about 50% off.

Vanity Fair makes a "beauty back" bra that helps. It's all I wear now.

@Beautiful life Soma stores carries a great bra that has a wider back and advertised to disguise back fat. Of course, disguise is the key word. I’ve used an inexpensive exercise band (at home) to target problem areas.

@SharkE, Now that is something I wouldn't mind trying. I wonder how much it costs.
