Any women out there have mixed feelings about losing curves?

They're disappearing into oblivion, quite literally. Positive = I didn't buy new bras when I had got bigger, so even my partner notices my bras fit again (the dreaded 4boobs are gone). But, I am now struggling to fill the bras. And that is upsetting because I'm a pear and my *kitten* and hips are definitely not shrinking
I sure as heck hope so! I was a pear at the best of times, now it's just worse! But you know. 6 weeks ago I wasn't losing anything. So swings and roundabouts. It's at least coming off. We simply can't choose where we lose it, so much as it's frustrating, can't do anything about it
Yep, true that! I'm nearly switching to maintenance and my stomach is STILL not quite how I'd like it haha
on the plus side though, definitely noticed by bum is a LOT curvier and perkier from running/squats/leg lifts etc. Sooo you lose some curves and gain others? 0 -

I was surprised just how many of my 'curves' I lost. Turned out they were just fat after all! My build is more athletic than I had imagined. I'm fine with that. I have a healthy BMI and I can run for miles and lift heavy stuff - none of which seemed possible 13 months ago. 0

Yeah...I'm losing my boobs as well. Its kind of a bummer going from a DD to a C (so far). My butt looks like its here to stay however. As I'm losing, its turning out that I'm more pear-shaped than I had thought!
Its making exercise easier though. I don't have to wear 2 sports bras any more! Cut way way down on laundry, so thats a bonus.0 -
it's kind of nice to discover your 'real' shape isn't it?! hahaYeah...I'm losing my boobs as well. Its kind of a bummer going from a DD to a C (so far). My butt looks like its here to stay however. As I'm losing, its turning out that I'm more pear-shaped than I had thought!

My bust has gone from a 36DD to a 32D, which is fine, except that I really love my boobs. My waist/hip ratio has stayed fine with my waist going down along with everything else, but my biggest change as been that my behind is disappearing. I'm squatting and lunging for all I'm worth trying to make sure that as much of my behind stays behind me as possible.
I'm at 36.5/27.5/37.5. I want to get to a tight 36/24/36, so I need to get to work on tightening waist and obliques. 0 -
I'm noticing a shape change and still have curves after losing 40 pounds with another 30 to go. But I look at it as - this is my true shape, and it is healthy. Fat "curves" are not healthy. I am finding more inner strength in my ability to run, jump, climb and crawl then I ever did in my "curves".0

are you asking girls who are losing weight or getting fit?0
-
I think about this a lot! I don't want to lose either, but of course my health is more important. I just REALLY hope everything stays proportionate so even if they do get smaller, they'll still be big compared to my size. Does that make sense? Lol0

I have NEVER lost a cup size. Ever! So I'm right there praying with ya! No matter how much I weigh, I'm a DDD. My sis loses cup sizes when she loses weight and gains cup sizes when she gains weight. I just don't know how that works. My mom is like me. Maybe it's a genetic thing, but other than going under the knife, I'm not getting rid of these.
Also, to the OP, my booty is tiny, and I can't do squats because of health problems. Know how you feel. It's a strange feeling but I'm happy to be smaller.0 -
I didn't lose any curves. In fact my waist got smaller and I have more now. The curves are also firmer and are not going anywhere. ;-)0
-
When I lose, the curves go too! The boobs absolutely lose first. Freaking amazing! I have a athletic body (like a sprinter) so the curves really are holding the rest of my body. When they go, I sort work toward stick figure with large thighs and medium butt..

I had too much outward curves 50lbs ago, and now I have those same outward curves, just smaller ones, plus an actual inward curve at the waist, so I'm pretty happy to keep going.0

I want to lose my butt and bust. =/ I personally like the thin flat look.0

I wasn't really sad about losing curves because I was gaining muscle definition and hipbones!
However, one bizarre thing is that with this last push to my goal weight (I'm within 5 lbs), all of the sudden I am losing my breasts--and that's making me a bit sad. When I was younger I was quite thin and always had large breasts... I guess my body has decided that I really don't need them anymore (I'll be 45 next month, so my childbearing years are coming to a close) because 15 lbs ago I was wearing a size 32F bra and now I am in a 32C. If I weren't so afraid of the pain of surgery and recovery I'd probably be seriously considering implants at this stage. On the upside I guess I might actually be able to have a normal golf swing now.
On the bright side, 32C bras are much easier to find than 32Fs.0 -
The area between my neck and my knees not being a totally squishy mess is worth the loss of any perceived "curves" I have. What I have is NOT curves, it's squish, and it's not good looking. :noway:0

what is wrong with 32c's? that seems like the perfect size.0 -
when you're used to being average or big, C cups seem very small. i would be devastated if i went below DD because i've been that big or larger since i was 15. when i lose weight i will likely still need a reduction because i'm a 38JJ (UK size, which is something like a US38M), but if i lose too much i'll just try to have them lifted not reduced.0

but for normal weight people C is not small. seems ridiculous to me to worry about going below DD. If you're not overweight, that is too big.0 -

Really? When I dropped weight too quickly, I went down to a 32E/F and was distraught. When I was injured and regained weight I went up to a 36H. They look much better now, to be honest. I hope a slow loss will keep me at a 32G/H when all is said and done.0 -
I feel a you. I am a bit worried about my breasts getting smaller, even though I never had particularly small ones. I just really like the size they are currently at (a full something C).
It's rather conflicting, because I could just let it be as I am technically not at an unhealthy weight. Unfortunately, I do have an unhealthy fat percentage so in any case I am slightly screwed.
Damn our bodies making spot-reducing impossible!

I didn't lose boob until I started strength training. I'm not sure if it's related, but I've dieted to this weight before and retained boobage.0 -
My breasts have deflated... >.< It's frustrating that that is the first thing that goes. I've lost 30lbs and so far I still have my butt, and my hips are noticably curvy because my middle is smaller! I will probably be devastated at the way my chest looks after I lose this next 30lbs. Hubby is trying to keep it all in perspective for me, but I loved my large boobs!0

I definitely get more curvy when I lose weight. I feel like, with excess weight, I'm just a rounded blob!0

32 G/H sounds like porn star big for a thin person. why would you want that? That isn't natural for most people who are thin. even 32 E/F sounds insanely big to me and you were distraught about it being too small?????0 -
I'm not worried at all. Actually I was always my curviest at a lower weight. Right now I'm still about 33 lbs heavier than what I want to be, but as I'm approaching my target weight, my waist is getting smaller, my abs flatter, and my wide hips and round butt will never go away (will get a little smaller, but it will be there.) So, actually I can't wait 0

Oh my word. People are worried about going below a D or calling a C small?! I was a 34B/C to begin with..... And am now just about filling a B bra, but probably should go 32B or 34A realistically, if this keeps going.
Now I just feel horrid and like a boy, it appears boobs are a determining factor in what makes you look feminine 0 -

Haha. I that does seem rather silly when you put it that way.
Seriously, though, I view it more as a relative thing, rather than a measure of what makes your body feminine. I assume a whole lot of us here have learnt to be proud of our bodies, our curves. In my case suddenly having boobs balanced out my butt. So the idea that may change can be a bit unsettling, since I fear I might not be happy with the result and will have to learn loving it all over again.
Either that or go even lower on the scale to out-balance your butt.0
