    :'( I'm currently in my first 1/2 of weight loss and I can tell my D cup bras are getting too big...I'll end up a C, at the biggest, if I'm lucky. Poo.

    Yep. 36FF at my heaviest, 30DD now. It's unlikely that they will get any smaller. I STILL can't by bras at a regular department store :( I have no desire get down down to a 28 band size. It's already hard enough to find bras. 94 pounds lost and 6 more to go.

    It's a totally individual thing - mine never did so I had a breast reduction

    Mine never do so I'm planning the above, it is a personal thing as I know my Mum's & sisters do but mine... mneh!

    Yep, sadly they did. But I'm not aiming for super low bodyfat so really I just look better proportioned now. Though it's a bit of a buzzkill when I see the size tag.

    depends entirely upon the genetics of the person. About 6 years ago, I weighed 140 lbs and my breasts were only slightly smaller than now (one cup size from DD to D). My sister in law lost weight and by 170 lbs, her breasts were gone. But that's just genetics. All the ladies on my mom's side are well endowed but ladies in her family tend to be much smaller.

    I'm just excited when the band number goes down. I wore a 40 at my heaviest (thanks for the big rib cage Dad) and am now down to a 36.

    GL, hope you girls do what you want them to do (stay or go).

    lol I thought the title asked if ladies shrink, like as in inch wise.

    I had lost 12 pounds over 3 months once, and no, nothing changed up here! Just inches lost everywhere else :)

    Varries from woman to woman. It really depends what percentage of your particular breast is mamary tissue to adipose (fat) tissue. If it's largely fat, it will shrink. If it's largely mamary, you will probably still see some reduction in size, but not a whole lot. In my family our band size goes down and our cup size goes up (since bras these days have cup sizes relative to band sizes - our boobs did not change size but we lost around our rib cages). But, yeah, it's totally individual. :-)

    Yes and yes it is dramatic, a couple of sizes 40dd to maybe a 36-34d - my old bras are huge in the cup and back and its very noticable (to me)

    I've lost over 90lbs.

    I should just copy and paste this for every boob thread already...

    1- boobs are fat

    2-when you go from a 38DD to a 34DD or ANY smaller band with the SAME letter cup, your boobs have indeed SHRUNK.
    the volume on a lower size band with the same letter CUP is still ONE CUP SIZE SMALLER.

    sorry ladies, these are the breaks.

    ebay. ebay. ebay. Amazon.
    If all else fails, Nordstroms.

    Many tons of 30DD's in stock

    Mine definitely shrunk but I used to be an A cup before I gained weight and then they ballooned to a saggy DD :sad:, now after about 2 months of losing they've shrunk to about a C cup. I think its different for everyone and maybe it depends on how big the girls are normally (based on my experience).

    Nope, they are breast tissue too, and some people (like myself) have a lot more tissue than fat so they don't go anywhere
