    former large C cup now a large A cup..

    with a very dissapointed husband. :)
    Way I see it..they make padded/push up bras for a reason..and one day, when enough pennies are saved, I will BUY my boobs back! the benefits of being slim and fit far outweigh having boobs

    OH..and I read an article recently that states its not always the size of the boobs that is appealing..but the ratio of "hang" from nipple to bottom..if that makes sense?

    I was sad to see mine go, too! But I did end up getting a boob job (Before my goal weight, even) and am going for a redo to go bigger.
    I promise there are ways to make them not look fake :)

    Sorry for your boobie losses but I bet you look great!

    For me it's the opposite. As of now I've been losing most weight in my upper body, around my ribs, my back, shoulders and upper arms. My breast though, they are still DD, which didn't look so bad on my bigger frame, but now it looks like I'm going to tip over.

    Kind of the same thing here.

    Mine are still around and I'm grateful. Can't wait to tip over!

    Ah yes, totally understand. I've gone from an E-F cup (huge) size, to a D and they seem really small to me now. I still look great in clothes, but when the bra comes off, they sure as hell aren't as high and mighty as they used to be.

    Such is life. Still, I'd rather look the way I do now with my smaller breasts than the fat person that I was before.

    Sounds to me like you should spend some time falling in love with yourself. A new body is a lot of change. Instead of scrutinizing it, maybe try to embrace it. I know that's easier said than done, but the whole point of working out and going through a body transformation is to be happy with the result, right?

    If you still don't like your boobs, save up and go buy some.

    I wouldn't trade the body I have now for my pre-weightloss boobs in a million years. It is what it is... I look like a 12 year old in the chest department, but the overall look and level of fitness I have achieved makes me very happy in the long run.

    3.) find new found ways to fill out more fabulous clothes- there are plenty of cuts that REALLY flatter the mid line of bra shapes - I'm a small D and found that V necks and mock turtle- sleeveless make my rack look enormous. LOL... sometimes it's a good thing- sometimes it's a bad thing. LOL

    SO TRUE!! I used to dress with whatever fitted me and now I have a choice among flattering clothes. That a great thing..
    To be honest, sometimes it's nice that they're not the ONLY good thing I have going on for me anymore. Looks wise.

    Once I overheard someone talking about me to someone else. She said 'of course, you know her! She's the fat girl with the pretty face who's friend with Caroline' The guy answered 'oh yeah, I don't know about her face but she's got some great ballons" (roughly translated, they were speaking french)

    I was just starting my weight loss process. Nobody knew about it, there were no change to notice yet. It broke my heart but kept my at the gym the following weeks...

    While I can be up front and admit I've NEVER had large boobs, I thought these "perks" (HAHA, forgive the pun...perks, perky?) might cheer you up.

    1.) More comfortable while running (a friend of mine practically sobs when she works out)
    2.) You can go bra-less!
    3.) Sleeping on your stomach is more comfortable
    4.) Certain styles are super flattering to someone who is smaller chested...

    Again, I have always been between an A-B cup so...I never knew what it was like to be bigger..but really, it's not all bad. Just different :)

    This! I lost about a cup and I just look top heavy now.. However, I would be sad to lose them since I feel they are my best feature as well..

    Heavy lifting helped me go from an A to a C. Add some muscle on there, they'll be fine!

    Boobs are overrated. I'm not sure why they are so important to people. 50% of the population have them in one form or another, and the other 50% of the population like them in pretty much all of the different forms they come in. They come from hormones, genetics, body fat, and silicone. You don't get them with hard work, discipline, or effort (maybe the fake ones since you have to earn the money for them). They don't improve your healthy, or represent imporved health. They don't make you stronger, or run faster, or jump higher (in fact they can do just the opposite). They are pretty I guess, and ultimately they DO feed infants but they can do that no matter the size, sagginess, or symmetry. But really, they are just boobs.

    You sound just like the rationnal part of my brain!! And then the brainwashed girl takes over and yell: 'don't care! Want them big'

    OP: you know you can buy new boobs, right? If you're not into cosmetic surgery, i hear they made fab bras these days to help accentuate the girls.

    I've never quite been able to fill out a C-cup, even when pregnant or breastfeeding. But at 36 and a mom of 4 kids, they still sag a fair amount :cry: I have found recently that good pecs underneath gives them a bit more perk. But the biggest thing that works for me is a good underwire pushup bra.

    Concerning dressing/styles that flatter, does anyone have recommendations for small boobs?

    Being a woman who has never been well endowed, I understand your pain. In highschool, I was the average A cup. Now, 20 lbs heavier, I am a solid B. I can't wait to be back to 155 lbs, but I know that I will probably sacrifice my breasts in the process. However, it is an exchange I am more than willing to make for my health. Being slim with small breasts looks better, in my opinion, than being overweight with larger breasts.

    Well if you have boobie obsession that much, go get a boob job. I did and I can't quit starring at them, the ONE perfect thing on my body and boy are they perty..ha.
    BUT, yes everything comes with a but. While perfect, perky, and I feel like a hot 18 year old...working out can be more challenging now. They put them under the muscle (for the most part) so push ups/ pull ups and other upper body strength exercises are so ackward. The worst for me are dips, feels like they could shoot out of my chest.
    I find myself annoyed sometimes with how it is difficult for me to build upper strength. But who is looking at my arms with a rack like that? A ha ha ha, just trying to be funny.
    Just sayin' if you are super sad about them, go get some nice boughten ones.

    First thing to go for me. 15 lbs ate 2 cup sizes. There were days I wanted those 15 lbs back. :ohwell: Personally, after getting to where I wanted to be weight wise, I opted for breast implants. And regardless of what naysayers think, it was hands down the best money I ever spent. But apart from the loss of your ladies, way to go on your weight loss journey! :drinker:

    I have one of those. Dissapointed guy at home. So far, it's still fine for him. But we both know that we're gonna be very happy when we buy them back!! Love that concept.

    I agree that being slim and fit is really really worth it!!

    As a former small breasted woman (used to be an A cup before I had four kids) I'm just going to say what my darling husband told me:

    "More than a mouthful's a waste."

    Obviously the right answer is to love your body... yada yada yada... or Invest in Victoria Secret... you think all the tiny girls with huge racks are born natural? lol i rather buy a fake bra then put on 20lbs for it to get to my belly and not go where I need it to go.

    I like how everyone agrees on a few things:
    - Fit and slim and strong is way better than the size of our boobs
    - it's still annoying to see them go
    - No problem whatsoever with buying them back!
