    I've lost (to date) 117 pounds. The only thing that's gotten smaller is my band size - cup? Not a chance, so it looks like I might be stuck with them, after all. Believe me, I'd LOVE to lose some at this point, because the smaller I get everywhere else, the more my back is killing me. I'm only 5'3" - 5'3" + DD boobs = excruciating pain. I may have to get reduction surgery if they don't go down soon.

    My husband loves me whether I'm large or small-breasted. It matters not to him - and that's honestly the way it should be for everyone. You love for what they are, not what they look like.
    I guess it's because i know that the main sexual turn on for a guy is boobs, and the bigger the better for most guy.

    Not so. I know more men that say "more than a handful is a waste" than the other way around. You can't judge the entire male gender by one statement like that - it's just not correct.

    It may be determined by your genetics and the women in your family. I keep hoping they'll go down by a lot - most of the women in my family wear size B, so I'm hoping that it'll happen at the last minute.

    Mine were two of the first things to go, I've lost almost 50 lbs, have gone from 42C to about a 36B so far. I don't mind being a little smaller on top, however I am disappointed that I'm not as perky and firm as I'd like to be. Too many years of being overweight killed the elasticity of my skin. I'm seriously considering a boob job, not necessarily to go bigger, but to see if I can have them perked up a bit.

    I'm a breast cancer survivor. Four years ago I had roughly 1/3 of my left breast removed, followed by seven weeks of radiation. After the trauma of surgery and rads I opted not to have reconstruction, consequently "the girls" don't match. My surgeon gave me the option of reducing the unaffected breast so they would be proportionate.

    My husband told me that I meant more to him than a pair of boobs, matching or otherwise. In the end what should matter most is your health.

    Just because your husband likes your big breasts now doesn't mean he won't like your smaller breasts later. Personally, I find all these comments encouraging. I WANT to lose mine! My husband pooched his lip out and pouted when I mentioned that my cups weren't running over anymore. He got over it. Your husband will, too.

    Well I think everyone is different. I have FFs and I lost 30 pounds (down to 128) a couple years back and didnt lose anything besides the measurement went down. Still had pretty much the same cup. I can lose lose lose and never goes from my boobs but when I gain thats the first place it goes. When I graduated HS many many years ago I was 103 pounds with DDs... So maybe you wont lose them. If you do lose them just get a boob job if it bothers you that much :smile:

    I have been a double D since i was about sixteen, it is mostly genetic for me. but now that i've gotten healthy and lost weight my breasts have reduced drastically.
    I am much happier knowing that my chest is muscular and I can flex my pecs than worrying about whether my boyfriend thinks my boobs are big enough. and BTW, he LOVES my breasts and he never saw them when they were humongous so that makes me feel even better.
    best part is, i now get to go buy new, sexy bras that i could never fit into before b/c my breasts were always TOO big!!

    Nope.
    not every guy!!

    And I seem to remember a line...."More than a handful is a waste anyway..."

    Don't worry, when you decide to get preggo, they'll be back.

    Perhaps OP has no plans to have kids.

    While my boobs were bigger while pregnant and breast feeding, they are now a bit smaller than pre pregnancy, so just because they will get larger doesn't mean they will stay larger.

    As far as the OP's desires, I was just offering a potential "solution." :laugh:


    Mine are not as big as they were when I was nursing, but still considerably larger than they were before I had kids.

    Or they may not change much at all. Mine were only slightly bigger during both pregnancies and while breastfeeding. I never had to buy a different size, and post-bfing, I'm still the same size I was before and during pregnancy.

    Back to the genetics issue, I guess. Poor OP.

    So if the choices were to stay fat, or have small boobs what would you pick?



    Also, I've had and nursed 3 children and my boobs are slightly smaller than they were prior to having children because I have a lower body fat percentage.

    I hear what you are saying! My breasts are the last place I want to loose weight, but I'm willing to live with it if it means I can wear a smaller size jeans.

    This is sad.

    Very.

    Op, you are more than a set of boobs.

    At 300lbs my best features were my boobs.
    They have gone down a lot. What I found is that boobs don't make you. Buy a really good bra and you're fine. Don't worry about silly things.

    Are large breasts worth being fat and unhealthy? A woman has many more attractive features than her breasts, and all are enhanced with weightloss. Her shoulders, hips, stomach, butt, thighs, the taper of her lower back, and her face.

    Sometimes people lose them and sometimes they don't.

    I've lost 40 lbs so far but not an ounce of the "girls"...my hubby approves!! :bigsmile:

    I have gone from a full C to a B. It's all good though...they may be smaller, but thanks to things like bench press, they are BETTER!!

    PS: Pretty sure your hubby loves you for more than your tatas. If not...well then don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

    Just buy them back. I did, and I cannot even express what a great choice that was. Hands down, best money I ever spent. Mine were always a full C, small D, but breastfeeding and getting thin wrecked them, so I simply replaced them. It's a simple solution.

    Smaller boobs on healthier bodies are more attractive than big boobs on unhealthy bodies. As much as it pains me to say, boobs are not the center of the universe, unless you happen to be a hungry infant.


    But, if it means that much to you, you can get implants. But that is a whole different argument for a whole different thread.

    I'm assuming you don't want to lose your breasts for aesthetic reasons so I will try to appeal to you on the basis of aesthetics and not even mention the obvious health benefits of losing excess fat.

    As a guy who finds breasts attractive what would I prefer:

    A) C to D cup breasts over a sizable gut
    or
    B) B to C cup breasts over a lean body

    The answer is B most definitely. I mean curvy is nice but some curves on top of a lean frame is very sexy. At least to me.


    If your goal is aesthetics it is hard for me to believe that losing a lot of excess fat is going to make you less attractive.


    On a side note though, yeah...do it for your health.

    this is probably the 50th thread on this topic. Lose weight, get healthy, buy new boobs if you want them. End of story.

    I didn't read all the replies so I apologize if this has been said, but here's the thing: yeah, they'll almost certainly change if you lose a significant amount of weight. However, when you're smaller everywhere else, they're still going to look like they're there.

    I know everyone is different, but I worried about this too. At my heaviest (145lb, 5'4"), mine were about a 32G and I was kind of attached to them. However, once I got down to my current weight (about 118), I still look like I've got a pretty large chest even though I'm now about a 28E/F (and can wear the occasional 32D from Victoria's Secret or whatever if I don't mind the loose band.) They're smaller, but on my smaller body they still look pretty darn big to most people. I was complaining about it the other night to some close friends and they all thought I was nuts because they still look pretty large in proportion to my body. And my body looks way better, so that's a bigger bonus.

    I think a lot of the time when you're heavier, you tend to see the larger breasts that go with extra fat as being this great thing, and they are, but I think it's kind of a security thing that makes some women feel better about being heavy. But I personally would rather not have the extra fat everywhere else that I need to go along with my body making my chest bigger.

    And hey...if they do shrink and you hate them...there are plenty of push-up, padding, and surgical options out there.

    I never understand this concern. Bra magic is pretty cool... so is not being fat.

    I feel like they are the perfect size for me, or my preference at least, and i would be devastated to lose them.

    If your boobs are that important to you, then just stay fat.

    Just wanna say everyone is different. I have lost over 10 inches off both my hips and waist since last April/May, and only 2" off my bust since then (that's when I began measuring myself). I wore DD at my heaviest and still need DD after losing 118 lb total.

    I agree with those who suggest if it is THAT important to you, consider surgery. I personally wouldn't even if I had gone down many sizes just because a large bust isn't particularly important to me. Definitely don't let worries about bust size keep you from losing the weight, though!!

    If your husband is only with you for your boobs and you legit think he'll leave you when you lose them, he shouldn't be your husband.
