LOL 40DD to 34C? I lost the girls...hahaha

usmcpatience

I've always hated my insanely large chest...even when I was much thinner! I got boobs in middle school that were bigger than most adult women I know today! I'd LOVE to lose some of mine!

My "moobs" were the first thing to go. It's my porch that still needs work. BTW/ proud to report the boys are still "hanging in there". :laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh: :bigsmile:

Ah, the girls. At 298 pounds I had 2 weapons to cut through rooms with, sailing through my life with the assurance of torpedoes AT THE READY ... at 178 pounds, not so much! I find as I lose (and gain, and lose, and gain) that I seem to equate what little femininity I have with the bazooms. There's definitely something "psycho"logical going on here in this threesome ...
Lately I've been thinking back to my Onederland weight with a measure of incredulity and wistfulness. Was I really that small? REALLY? (My profile pic shows me at my absolute smallest.)
Anyway, the older I get, the more active I find myself wanting to be. Floats are definitely a hindrance during most fitness activities. I hate not having a comfortable workout bra. I hate 42DD bras that still leave me with muffin-top syndrome. The purpose of these milkbags is meant to be biological. I don't have any babies latched on ... and I don't need them to be the best version of me.
I'm down 15 pounds since December and I can already tell it in the pectoral department. I'll have to lose another 50 pounds before even an ounce comes off my butt. BUT I WILL!

Just think of it as less "baggage" to carry! I am what you were before and trust me...I CAN NOT wait 'til I lose some of mine! LOL Plus 34C sounds soooo fantastic to me! LOL

Erin_endless_benevolence

I definately would say that is a plus though. Too many long term, irreversable back problems associated with larger breast size. I have lost 37 lbs so far and am still a D but I went from a 38D to a 36D so no change in the cup size.

astovey

I was always a 38B....and they just kept shrinking as I lost weight. I got myself some 36Ds in September and now I just have to firm up some other areas and I'm ready for the beach! Love my new boobs!

DancingYogini

I went from a 38D to a 34B I wanted to lose everything else, but was sad when the girls got smaller. The good thing is when stores have bras on sale I have a lot to choose from. LOL

Me too!!! If I hadn't had three kids (and nursed them all) they might still look ok...but noooooo!!! I am so vain, I even went on a local plastic surgeon's website today to see how much a new pair would cost :laugh: $5300!!!!!!!! Oh well, VS has nice push up bras!

Ok, have to ask....how painful was it, and was it worth the money??? My DH would be happier than a clam for me to get them done!

ouryear002

For the ladies losing breast sizes....do they get droopy? A little TMI I know...but mine already are a little bc of the size and I have been worrying that losing weight will make them just kinda deflate.... haha weird question I know....not sure if anyone wants to answer

I'm sure it is different for everyone. Unfortunately, the last time I lost weight, mine deflated like old balloons. I kept hoping square bras would come into style, because those squishy puppies could have been molded into any shape! Maybe I'll win the lotto and can get the "mommy makeover" once I'm at goal!

I wish I had that problem... I started this journey at 240...my girls are still in tact and I'm down 70 pounds. No change whatsoever and YES I am disappointed. Once I hit my goal, and have children I plan on have a reduction, it's always been one of my goals. Just goes to show you that everyone is different!

Have you started running? That's what gets them down for a lot of people.

janesmith1

I can't WAIT to lose my DDD's!!! And it's already happening! Yay! I'm down to the tightest hook on this bra....so they are deflating! If you want them smaller (like me) you gotta RUN.....

katerinab

Yeah, I've gone from a 40I (that's right, an i cup) to a 36C or D. The more I work out, the more they seem to shrink! I complain about it so much that my husband told me he'd buy me a new pair for Christmas. :laugh:

Oh wow, you give me hope!! I was at a 44J, I've gone to a 40H, and I really desperately need to go down more. My back hasn't been happy in decades.

katerinab

As someone who's started out with 'bigguns', I am happy to say that I did have to buy a smaller bra, but when you unleash the girls from their comfy bra home, they stretch out to their natural size, a 38 LONG.

I think their goal is to have a party with my belly button and they're damn close.

I think your girls have gotten together with my girls and have been conspiring 'cause that story sounds AWFULLY familiar to me.

p_cakes

I'm a little scared. When i started I was a bit worried on how much I would lose of them. I love mine!
I'm a 36 DD, I wouldn't mind going down to a single D, but I love mine.

I'm hoping mine are genetic. haha! I woke up one morning in middle school and there they were. I really hope that I was meant to have big boobs. I like mine!

I'm worried about that and also my butt. I don't want it to be as wide (obviously) but I'm worried it will get flat. I have a cute butt that sticks out just enough (kinda of like J-Lo, but not that much) I'm really hoping I don't lose that either,

I'd like to be about 140-135 and still have my boobs and butt. I don't mind if they go to a D, MAYBE a C, but I don't want to lose them, I'll be sad!

debcoug

I just bought 2 new bras and now of course losing weight they are getting too big, not that I mind losing these puppies, lol.

Ready2lose4ever

I am so ready for this to happen. I hate them and wouldn't care if I was an A cup!!

pcmoore

I was VERY small before I got fat! That's the only thing I like is that I now have some! I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE THEM. I think I will have to buy a new pair once this weight it gone

It really wasn't bad at all...in my opinion. I mean there is some tightness, some stitches and some soreness involved....but really not that bad. They gave me pain meds and I think I was off of them after just a few days. Just some lifting restrictions.

I am so glad I did it. I had been saving money since high school, but just never had the guts to do it. I recently inherited some money and felt very financially secure.....so I said what the hell, WHY NOT? I didn't want to say, "I wish I would have done that years ago." I love not having to wear push up bras anymore (and so does my husband). And the clothes, THE CLOTHES....its like I have a new wardrobe! Everything looks so much better! My self-esteem is SSOOO much better (it ya can't tell) LOL.

If ya really want it and can afford it...I highly recommend it

I just have some pounds to lose (and it wont be in my chest) and I am SO ready for summer

Me either. I wish I was flat chested! I've have HUGE BOOBS since I was a skinny skinny 12 year old. I think I was B cup at 12!!!!! Then a C cup at 13!!! And thin as a rail!

Fieldsy

I went from a C cup to training bra

I always have had huge boobs too. I hate them!!

Paige1108

I was always small, but an A cup is a whole new category of small. So I bought them the prettiest little bras you ever did see. My Boyfriend says he'll take the new abs over the old breasts, so I'm fine with it.

ChristinaERRN

Haha! Uh oh I don't have too much in the first place! The weight went everywhere else!

danni_appel

I wish mine will go away... I am at a 42DD and it is depressing not being able to walk in somewhere and just buy cute undies.. I did just get 4 new ones in this size... we will have to see if I lose any of it

Lyadeia

I'm so jealous of all of you. I feel so...inadequate...sittin' here with my 34A's...

And yet, before losing weight they were still small at 36B.

danni_appel

man... its not worth it... the depression when no shirts fit, and the literal backache they are!

DickDickDick

Wish I could lose 'The Boys' ..........

Oh, well I've lost 1kg so far, GO ME!!

dayh1ker

Love this topic and all the comments!

I was a skinny girl with a very perky set of 34b's until I hit my mid 30's. I mean, they were perfect! I couldn't even hold a pencil under them. Fifty plus pounds later I saw my chest explode into a 38DDD. I hate them! Now I can hold an entire box of pencils under them! Since I started MFP on January 3rd I've noticed my women (they aren't just mere girls) beginning to shrink. YAY! I look horrible in clothes and feel like I'm toting a shelf on my chest. I can't wait to lose them and be able to enjoy pretty lingerie again. That will be the ultimate reward!
