    My boobs are already ruined from breastfeeding LOL. They are going down in size now that I'm losing weight but its just a part of me and I will except them. I am doing bench presses at the gym to strengthen my chest but I'm not hoping for a miracle.

    if ur gonna worry bout them sagging from weight gain or weight loss just wait until you've breast fed a couple of kids.. lmao.. I love the fact I'm losing weight and having gone from 15 st down to 10.13 i've not had any problem with loose skin or sagging.. that came with having babies.. my stomach is a crinkly pouch and my boobs are like oranges in socks.. BUT u know what I put on a bra and some clothes and no one can see.. and if they did who cares.. its my body and I'm proud of what its been through.. So should you.. love your body and let the real you shine through.. and if that's impossible which it will be for some ,( not having a go) and if it really affects your self esteem then get a bunch of cash and a damn good surgeon and then love yourself. xxxxxx

    I haven't met a man that truly cares about this issue when they are in his hands. In terms of the rest of your life...a nice bra and good pecs, like everybody else has mentioned.

    No, nothing. I personally would NEVER choose to be at a weight that compromised the firmness of my bustline! In fact, I choose my ideal weight based upon how my bust looks. Weight too low OR too high could create sagging! I suggest you should consult a plastic surgeon to see exactly what options are available to you to reverse the damage; surely, something could be done by way of surgery to help you. (You are most likely going to receive replies on this thread suggesting exercise; however, that won't work.)

    Wow, I wish I thought of my boobs before I "chose" to get fat! thank you for the insight! I can't wait to give your advice to my past self when the Doctor finaly whisks me away in the TARDIS and I can get back to tell my past-self that the biggest issue I'll have with getting fat is the sagginess of my t!ts.

    Brilliant! I had a more jerky response but yours is perfect. !!! :flowerforyou: Nice Dr. Who reference.

    Why's it gotta be a for a man? Maybe she prefers bigger and/or perkier boobs for herself, independent of what men think?


    Hell, maybe she prefers the company of women

    I haven't met a woman yet either for that matter.

    In terms of bigger, perkier boobs for yourself naked...you either get what you get and you don't raise a fuss -or- implants.

    Whether those people exist or not (I'm sure they do) doesn't matter. It's the assumption that if she has an issue with not wanting sagging from weight loss that she shouldn't be concerned because men like them no matter, when she said nothing at all about men at any point. Who gives a damn what men think or what they like to get their hands on? Why would what men like even be a factor?

    excellent support and no jumping up and down? I think if they're already gone just scaffold them up like mad...mine are shocking and if I ever get this lifestyle thing sorted and keep weight off then I plan on surgery-not implants, if I end up a B cup I don't care, the month old party balloon look is no fun.

    There are two reasons why a person would like nicely shaped breasts:

    -You
    -Sexual partners

    I addressed both parts in my answer.

    1. Get a well-fitted bra and you won't notice any sagging.
    2. Build up the muscles behind them and they my sit differently. Bench press + overhead press.
    3. Massage and moisturize the area to improve circulation, coloration, etc. May reduce the appearance of sagginess.

    Best advice is a great bra both for everyday wearing and a super supportive motion reducing sports bra for exercising.

    Even at 40 and having been no less than a D cup since high school, my breasts aren't too bad considering I am currently a 38DD and have been as large as a 46G at my highest weight. I have gained and lost a ton of weight over my lifetime and had one full term pregnancy.

    I don't think there is anyway to have naturally large breasts and have them be perky anyway. Just the sheer weight of them makes that impossible.

    Just do what you can and if they become too saggy and bother you, then you may want to check into a breast lift later.

    Bench presses strengthen the pectoral muscles (the ones that sit under the breasts) - breast tissue is fat and mammary glands, so there's no muscles in there to strengthen - however by strengthening the muscle underneath it, you give them a better foundation, so to speak. Push-ups are pretty similar in terms of what muscles they work. Both push-ups and bench presses are really good exercises and will strengthen and tone your arms too, not just your chest muscles. Being strong generally will improve how your body looks all over. That plus a good bra should help your boobs (and the rest of you) to be perky.

    This. I'll be 59 soon. Mine are most definitely perkier since I began weight training. Even the hubs says so.
