Loosing weight doesn't reduce breast size!

I got measured about a week before I began to lose weight and I was a 38D, today after losing 30lbs i got remeasured and i've gone UP a cup size. My band size is still a 38 (apparently I have a very large ribcage) but i'm now a DD. I asked why and she says that when losing weight boobs sometimes change shape, not get smaller, but change, and somehow i've changed in a way that made me go UP. So ladies do not fear, just because you lose weight it doesn't always mean you'll lose your boobs!!

    Must be nice. I lost 27lbs and a whole cup size- I now have a non-existent chest.

    Glad to see I'm the odd-man out- it's not like I've ever seen entire threads dedicated to this very subject..... :huh:

    Generalizations rule.

    I wish that were the case, but I've gone from a very full DD to a large B/small C. I need to get refitted, but they're pretty pathetic compared to what they used to be. Oh well, this is for health, right?! hahaha

    Glad for you, because myself and everyone I know all lost at least a cup size losing weight even when it was just 10lbs. :(

    ive lost about 80lbs and went from a filling out a 38c to now filling a 34d? weird.. but they are lower and less full, waaayy less full, but between the glands that are left and skin and such, once they are lifted by the bra, nothing lower than a d cup will hold the whole booby... but once i lay down, the cup is pretty damn empty..... i've started talking to the hubby about getting them done though, i feel less feminine without what i used to have, i dont feel as proportional anymore :(

    boobs aren't just fat though. there's also gland tissue, milk glands, collagen.

    I never really went down in breast size in the past when I lost, but this time my boobs have gotten so small. I used to have a hard time finding tops that fit up top because they were always too small, well lately I am finding it hard to fill my shirts properly. So I guess it depends on the person.

    I agree with both of these! They are not all fat (there is other stuff) but there is also fat that can be lost. Different for every lady! Best of luck girls! :flowerforyou:

    Be happy you are a special one.

    Breasts contain fat. That's why they get bigger most of the time when you gain weight and WILL reduce in size when you lose weight.

    You're a special special girl.

    Have a few kids. Breastfeed. Then lose those 30 lbs.

    38C to barely 34B

    True story.

    Some people's breasts contain more glandular tissue than others. Those people will see less change in the size of their breasts when they lose weight. Other people's breasts contain more fat, and those people will definitely see a decrease in breast size as they lose weight. I had huge boobs from puberty until about a year ago, and I've lost 2 cup sizes since then.

    Sure wish I could figure out how to post before and after pictures. My boobs went from huge to nothing after more than a 50 pound loss. Not complaing at all about it as I never cared much for them in the first place. Only have them when I am overweight.

    It could be genetic too, sometimes breast size isn't always related to weight. I've seen a lot of women who's cup size didn't change....lucky bastardss...opps did I say that outloud? lol

    Mine have got bigger - well look bigger but that because i do lots of upper body workouts and the muscle underneath is redefining them.
