    Mine are actually getting bigger!! They are pretty perky though, so I haven't gotten fitted for a bra yet.

    Hey!! My eyes are up here! ^^ :laugh:

    MOST annoying thing? The same people who, at 230lbs and 40% body fat told me "you look fine" now saying "you're losing too much weight" at 156lbs and 23% body fat.
    Weight loss advice from the morbidly obese runs a distant second from this, not that ham planets actually run.

    I have A-cups without a flat tummy, so there!

    Same here! I was an 40A at my heaviest, and I'm an 34AA right now. I can't mourn for something I never had!

    Can't think of anything that's particularly depressing about losing weight...

    At my fittest when I was 18/19 I was a 38/40A. It's traumatizing to walk into a plus sized shop and ask for an A cup. I'm still at the beginning of my weightloss (only down 17lbs), but I just know at this end of this I'm going to be an A again. I'm currently wearing a 42D. My SO says he doesn't care because I am Beautiful Big and I'll be beautiful little. I'm probably still going to get a lift when I'm done. I don't want to go up in size, but I don't want to be saggy all over.

    I feel your pain! In the UK at least, trying to find 40A's are impossible. I was finding myself in the 'granny bra' section most of the time.

    Realizing that a lot of things actually do taste better than thin feels.

    Tru dat.

    Well for bra size I went from 38 DD to... well, it depends on the brand... 34 DDD to 36 C, with some 36 DD. But they hang quite a bit, have stretch marks, it's not pretty.

    For me the most depressing part is that I agree that a lot of things still do taste better than thin feels, and that I've come to realize that it doesn't matter if I end up with 20% body fat... I'll never look good naked because of all the loose skin. That, and to lose enough weight to get to 20% body fat, I'll maintain with way too little food. I honestly think I'll switch to maintenance earlier than that just so I can have 100 extra calories a day.

    Last time I lost weight I went from a 42D to a 36DD. This round I'm starting at 40D. I'm waiting to see if I go that low again. Keeping them undercontrol is the worst thing about exercising. I found sport bras from Bounce.com that work good. For regular bras Bare Essentials has a large selction and they are not that expesive for the larger and more supportive variety.

    When I was fat I was once mocked as "a fat girl with small tits, one of god's cruel jokes" :(

    I was 38C at my heaviest (210), a 36C at my current starting weight (176) and am a 32B now (157, still in progress). When I was younger and 135 lbs (which is my goal weight right now) I was also a 32B, so hopefully I will hold on to what I've got :wink:
