Fellow ladies: Lets talk weight loss and boobs

Ladies I need to hear from you!

I am 210 lbs 5'6
I have been trying to get motivation to continue on my weight loss journey but my boobs are holding me back.
I am a B cup and fear of losing what little I have.

I want to hear what your experiences have been during weight loss.

Thanks!

    I'm also 5'6 and went from a size B to a size A. On the upside, I went from a size 14 jean, to a loose size 4 (and I'm wearing size 2 shorts/size 0 skirts). It was worth the trade off :smile: Also, the 'girls' are much perkier now-totally can't tell that I nursed three kids for a year each!

    I've had no loss whatsoever in that area so far. I assume that as I get smaller they will as well, but hopefully stay proportionate to the rest of my body.

    How much you lose in cup size depends on whether your boobs are made up of more fat or more breast tissue. Either way, it's not a good reason to not lose weight. You should really just cross that bridge when you get to it. Boob loss might not happen at all, or you might be so happy with the rest of the changes that you don't care. A smaller waist will make whatever you've got look better.

    Yup, lost a cup size (B to A), but still look good in a good quality push up - it's totally worth it.

    I went from a D to a B in six months after losing 40 pounds through watching my intake and working out 6 days a week.

    Im size 16/18 jean right now. Do they still look proportionate to the rest of your body? I am so afraid because I also have very wide hips.

    To bad their is no good way to figure that out (that I know of).
    Thank you. I should not worry about it now and just see what my body does.

    My mom lost 60 pounds and went from a C to a B. Everyone in my family is a pear shape. I'm more of an hourglass now bc of my weight. I'm a DD and I'm sure they will shrink some. I'd rather be healthy and flat on top then keep what I have and be unhealthy. They make some really impressive pushup bras

    My girls have remained the same size I believe. They don't appear to be any smaller. They're also a 36 B, so I didn't have much to begin with.

    I went from 252 lbs and a 40DD to 122 lbs and a 34 B. I lost A LOT from my chest area. But a lot of fat tissue was in my breasts. If your smaller chested already, you may not lose as much.

    so far so good on the puppies 5'3 139 36c but the 36 portion on my bra is becoming loose so the girls better stay!

    I'm down 70 pounds and have gone from a K to an F cup. However, I've also gone from a 42 band to a 34, so even though there is less total mass to my breasts, they are still noticeable.

    What a previous poster mentioned is correct - your shrinkage in that are will be determined by the ratio of fat to breast tissue that you have.

    I've lost 32 pounds and am just now seeing a small decrease in boob size. Instead of spilling out of my D cup, it fits perfectly.

    I'm the same hight and always lose weight on my boobs and up looking like I have huge hips but I agree with others I should be more happier being healthy and buy a push up bra :huh:
  • I went from 130 lbs 36, 29, 35 full C. To 115lbs 32, 26, 32 B cup ;P
    I felt like I HAD nice boobs even with three kids before. Now I feel like I have no boobs. But for my 40th bday its DD's all the way for me

    It could happen.
    I'm 5'6" and an A cup.
    The boobs are always the first thing I lose.

    odds are you will lose them especially since it sounds like you arent top heavy to being. you keep your same body type regardless if you lose or gain weight unless you do other things to shape how your body looks, but it wont change your body type.

    Thank you everyone!
    I want to lose weight to be healthy.
    My breast can do what they want.

    I need to learn self love and not care about my chest size.

    Thank you everyone! :]

    Hi!! I'm a 42 E. Okay, I know that's big. When I lose weight, I do lose on my boobs. But not very much. It makes them look more shapely. I wouldn't worry to be honest. You may lose a bit, but not much :)

    Your body might not change the same way mine did. I went from a 44C to a 36C. Don't let that be your reason to lose motivation.

    Okay why am I the abnormal one. Started my wieght loss wearing a 46D. Down close to sixty pounds and currenlty wearing a 38DD. If it was a different style, I could excuse it as sizing difference, Wearing same brand, same style just smaller band and bigger cup. Sure was hoping to get back to a C cup. At least with the exercise they are sagging alittle less.

    I'm just going to vent that I am a DD and I hate my boobs because no matter what bra is on my body, my boobs bounce so much when running! It's so embarrassing, to the point where if I see another person while running, I stop til they run by. I now try to run in the country :(

    So love your tiny tits.

    -Jealous of the B cups.

    my weight has yo yoed my whole life. and I have had 5 kids. I have lost 36lbs (and do heavy lifting so my inches are what really matter at this point). I went from a size 15 to a 6/8 (depending on brand). My boobs went from a D to a B cup.. and the only reason they are a B is because of the skin.. they are horrible... but in the end it was worth it. I know that you apparently have to give your skin 2 years to reshape iteself (fingers crossed something will tighten in 2 years though realistically i know its unlikely)...
    I am giving myself 2 years and if i can maintain i may get some surgery ( i better start saving)

    I would rather be flat chested and healthy than unhealthy with boobs.

    but then again, that's just me.
  • (ashleybreanna) Not sure if it would help, but I too am a DD, when I workout (running, crossfit, etc.) I always wear my regular bra under a long sports bra. I started doing this mostly because I could never find adequate sports bras, but find that it really helps with the bounce.

    Also with you on B cup envy. :tongue:

    I started as a D and now i am a small C. But i dont care if i go to a B even....one of these days when i am where i want to be i am treating myself to new ones. Im more upset that they arent as perky as used to be but eh, my health is more important than my boob size.. I just compensate by having bigger muscles elsewhere lol
  • Went from a D cup to a B cup within a couple of months. Personally, I Like them even better because they aren't in the way anymore! Id rather be fit and healthy with a smaller chest than a large chest and be unhealthy. Its a trade off that's well worth it! Think of all those cute bikini tops you'll be able to wear! Get it Girl!!

    i'm with ashleybreanna! (though it sounds like we are in the minority)
    one thing i am most looking forward to is being back in a B cup--running for one thing (YES they get in the way unless you have an industrial strength bra :) also gravity is not kind to older girls...
