Are my breasts getting bigger as I lose weight?

Wasn't sure where to post this in the forums. I have been losing weight, I have more energy, I can now jog up the stairs. I was always told that if I lose weight, my breasts would get smaller. But they seem to be doing the opposite. I have to wear my bra all the time now when I am awake, (usually I would not if I was being lazy around the house). I had to get a new bra with a smaller band size because my old one wasn't supporting me any more. They just seem to be getting bigger and fuller than they were before. Is it possible for a woman's breasts to get bigger when she loses weight?

I hope this is an appropriate topic, cause I really would like some in-put on this. I have not found any good answers anywhere else. I am not pregnant, and the only real diet change is I am eating more fruit. I found I love mandarins more than oranges, and I grab fruit or a rice cake if I need a snack.

Very possible. Some women lose very little from their breasts. My aunt and a few of my friends have the same thing happen.

I have noticed that as I lost my weight, my breasts cup size would stay about the same, but the band would get smaller, causing me to wear a "smaller" size.

Hi there,

Is it possible the changes in your breasts are being enhanced by your weight lose else where on your body, ie. you are one of those ladies who retain breast tissue during weight loss and they become more noticeable as your body drops weight from the surrounding areas of back, shoulders, underarms etc., it seems a possibility as you have had to compensate by getting a smaller band to help with support issues.

This is an intriguing possibility and our bodies are such complex and fickle organisms....I wish you the best of luck as your continue on in your journey.
