I have big big boobs, too big for my size and my doctor told me they are mostly glands. I lost 12 lbs dropped 3 pants sizes but my chest area did not budge. I went from a tight 34g/32h to a comfortable 32h. That was it.

So i googled around to see how much my breasts weigh (and yes i even tried to weigh them!!)
They are 3-4 lbs each! Heavy load! I am carrying almost 8 lbs around, that is heavier than a newborn baby :sad:

Sooooo is it fair fot me to increase my goal weight by 5-6 lbs since i need to take into account my girls weight??

Has anyone considered that?!

    I think it's all relative. If my boys weigh 3 pounds, should I not count that? Know what I mean?

    My logic is a girl of my weight with my body type and bf% and smaller breasts would always weigh 5 lbs less.

    I know what you're saying. But did u just get the boobs? Did u take them off to weigh yourself initially?

    I think mine are bigger and no I don't deduct for them. When I tell people my weight they say "OH YEAH well like half of that is boobs!!" lol Obviously not but it makes me giggle. I have been drunk enough to use my food scale to weigh these puppies before too. It's my party trick??

    I wouldn't make that your basis for choosing a goal weight. Weight is just a number, related to your mass. It says nothing about your body fat which could indeed be comparable to someone weighing 5 lbs less...or not. You can see a big variation in body size at the same weight depending on genetics and amount of lean tissue, etc.

    I'll admit, I really couldn't read any of this thread at all. I came looking for the pictures to evaluate, and I came disappointed. Sorry.

    There's no such thing as having boobs that are too big!

    I dunno...I don't do that for my butt...I have a huge bubble butt no matter how skinny I am. I just count overall weight.

    Yes, it's fair. I'm sure if your weight (excluding breasts) was just below overweight, but your breasts added another 6 lbs, you wouldn't be categorized as overweight.

    I think you are over thinking this. Also, if you are concerned about a scale # that isn't reliable to begin with or are having issues due to your breasts, maybe you should look into breast reduction surgery?

    When they're this big there is certainly such thing as TOO big.

    42H here babe! And I've lost nearly 100 pounds! I feel your pain! lol :flowerforyou:

    Forgot to add...you could also look at continuing to reduce your body fat %. I've heard stories that it wasn't until someone got to 18-20% that they lost a cup size or two.

    I think it's silly when people shoot for a certain weight, then let a numbr rule their life. Shoot for a range. Then adjust accordingly as you get closer to goal weight. Where do you feel comfortable? Where do you feel healthy and strong? Boobs, butt, whatever - we're all different. Shoot for a weight that works for YOU... boobs and all. :wink:

    The scale can be a lying ba$stard. I was the same size at 118 and at 135 - only difference was the first time I was skinny fat, the second time I was in the best shape of my life. Don't go by a number on the scale.

    I was going to say exactly this. At this point your goal weight's just a rough estimate, when you get closer to it you'll have a better idea of where you want to end up. And really, how you look and feel matters a lot more than what the scale says.
