Can I spot reduce my breasts?

Chest exercises, especially pushups, chest presses, pectoral presses, etc can do WONDERS for the breasts, as long as you're limiting fat and carb intake. A lot of women tend to gain weight in their breasts (but also lose weight in their breasts when losing weight!) If you're dieting and limiting fat/carb intake AND utilizing chest exercises, a few weeks can minimize your breast size. Hope that helps! (I'm naturally small-chested, but I've definitely seen a relationship between diet, exercise, and breast size)0

I read all the comments and for you to say your to chaste of a woman for anything is amusing to me, I saw the picture and I highly doubt that's the kind of dress and overy chaste woman would wear to a Christmas party! Wear what you want do what you want but when you come onto a public forum and make post about your breast you have to expect some ridiculous comments to come your way and in fact I'd be surprised if you didn't do it just to get the comments. Any woman who has large breast knows that there are certain ways you can alter a dress or knows to order it bigger to fit your bust and then have the rest altered down. As for spot reducing no you can't, you can reduce all over fat but its hard to target one specific area to reduce in and especially not in the time frame you have, sorry. I'd recommend you take your dress to a seamstress or since you have a few weeks send it back for a larger size and have it altered to fit you in other areas!
The parties I go to are very tight knit group of people I trust and can be myself with.
And why would I take advice from someone with 5 posts anyway. Get some experience.
:noway: That was kinda rude OP. Sorry but I don't see what post count has to do with experience. Are you saying if an actual qualified Dr posted on here & only had say 2 post counts to their name you would 1. not take advice & 2. tell them to get some experience. ?????
It was actually very rude that.
Get over yourself.
OP, ducktape or that kale/cauliflower cleanse will do!
Me get over myself? It's not me that was rude.
Yeah a cleanse will spot reduce.... yeah uh huh.0 -
Pfffffffft! Amateurs!
All OP needs to do is go braless until the date of the party. By then the breasts will be sagging so bad they will spread from chest to below waist and will easily cinched in with a belt for that dress. gold preferably.0 -

You have the look I am going for. I understand you walk a lot. Maybe if I walked as consistently as you, my boobs would disappear?0 -
I have the same problem. I bought a new dress for a new year's eve party and my boobs are all sorts of visible...
Sooo... if anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great. I can wear a bra with this dress though, so yay!!!

Get some experience huh? Well heres some experience for you, I happen to be a female with rather large breasts myself and used to have the same problem you have unlike you I decided that I didn't like not having clothes that fit, I didn't like having to reach out to strangers on a forum for "advice" so I did the most logical thing I could think of I learned to make my own clothing, I learned to sew, alter and make my own patters and all that jazz. I also now do for other people and have made a fairly decent living from it. As for my 5 post, yea I haven't been on this forum long doesn't mean I don't have experience and don't know what I'm talking about, where im from experience doesn't come from forums on MFP. You want advice, how about ordering a dress in your size, if you don't know what your size is go get fitted and if you still refuse to do that I'd find yourself a good seamstress!0 -

your dress is really cute, I have a few like that as well if is halter style that may be whats giving you the look of extra cleavage fortunately theres usually enough material in the front that you can insert a small tack and pin the two pieces together if not, they have some nice minimizer strapless bras now that could help you. They are designed to show a minimal amount of cleavage. If none of those work think about putting a piece of lace behind the dress in the are you think its showing to much cleavage it looks cute and cuts down on the look of boobs for days!0 -

My husband is willing to support me in all my endeavors. Maybe you could ask someone to follow you around and support you too? I find most men are more than willing to oblige. :bigsmile:I read all the comments and for you to say your to chaste of a woman for anything is amusing to me, I saw the picture and I highly doubt that's the kind of dress and overy chaste woman would wear to a Christmas party!

Hey OP I know this poster has been mean to you but this is good advice for you to read. I know you also have "boobs for days " so it might be helpful. Just thought I'd point this out in case you are shielding yourself from unsupportive people with the ignore function. :flowerforyou:0 -

I suppose in an effort to be supportive I will help, there are actually bras you can buy that you can wear with that type of dress, they don't come all the way acrss your breast so you couldn't see them with the tie ups, and you can get the plunging kind so they hold you in place without being visible, if that doesn't work Id recommend sewing the bottom portion of the opening closed or lacing it closed and then adding some fabric to the top that way it balances it out a little, OR if you do actually have a decent seamstress most dresses an be let out up to a half inch on both sides that will give you a little wiggle room, and depending on what closures of the dress they may be able to add material to the zip or seam and be able to make it close. The most bang for your buck option tho would be looking for one of those bras, trying the plunging line ones instead of the minimizers, they are strapless and don't show any bra if you have see thru front, I wore one with my plunging neckline wedding dress, its similar to what actresses wear to awards ceremonies in their dresses, they aren't cheap but they can be used lots of times and some of them come with removable straps so you can convert them to regular bras or criss cross bras and stuff.0 -

She's been training a hell of a long time to have that much weight on the bar.
From the exercise videos it looks like it might make my arms bulky.
I want my arms to remain slender. It's a sleeveless dress after all.
*shakes head* noooooo just no.
do you have any idea how difficult and how much training and work it takes for a female to get "bulky"????
does she look bulky to you?
lifting weights as a woman will only make you look glorious. not bulky.
It's certainly impressive, but it's not the slender, feminine look I'm going for.
I'm looking for more of a dancers body than a bodybuilders.
It doesn't happen overnight.
If you want a dancer's body, I suggest you take up dancing.

i saw this dress on modcloth and almost bought it but ended up getting another instead.
why would any woman wear a minimizer with a low cut halter style dress?? :huh:
if you're boobalicious and dont want to show boob then getting a halter style was not a good choice since halter styles lift and squeeze together by design . no amount of pinning and tucking will help because you will be fighting with the dress all night. trust me, with some dresses you just have to commit to releasing the kraken since the cage has already been broken anyway.
what i would suggest is wear a convertible style plunge bra like this one from lane bryant, wear the dress, not worry about the cleavage and have a great time. http://www.lanebryant.com/cacique-plus-size-sexy-bras-intimate-apparel/bras-view-all/plunge-bras/4043c4044c110/index.cat0 -
Hi all!
My Christmas dress just arrived, but it doesn't fit me in the bust. :sad:
I just can't get the last 2 inches to zip up. The rest of it fits perfectly.
I know I can't loose the weight to wear it tomorrow, but I have an event in a couple of weeks so I was wondering what exercises you can recommend to spot reduce my chest area?
I was thinking of doing the 100 pushup challenge http://hundredpushups.com/index.html
and go on a juice cleanse after Christmas to really flush out any toxins and excess water I'm holding. My husband has bought me a juicer for Christmas!
Does this sound like a good plan?
Believe me, if boobs could be spot reduced, I would've jumped right on that bandwagon! I'm afraid it's all over fat loss through a calorie deficit and toning up with exercise, and it's a crap shoot if boobs shrink. Mine have but not by much.0 -

there are a couple floating around, and I regularly drink diet Dr. Pepper so I think that more than qualifies me to dispense advice.0
