Smaller bra size?

Ladydragon20

Since I have started my weight loss journey I have had about 6 or 7 people (all females)say something to me about getting a breast reduction if I don't loss weight in that area. I know I will Lose some weight but I was big when I was smaller and younger so I don't anticipate getting to small. I've decided that I will not wear baggy clothes or have a reduction to make other people feel comfortable around me. I wore baggy shirts when I was younger I will not do it again. If I have health problems then I will consider a reduction but not to make people feel comfortable with my size.

Also on the subject of people thinking that you are fat when you have big boobs. I've experienced that when I was younger. My mother in law worked at a shirt factory and had bought some shirts for her daughter. She turned to me and said that she would have gotten me some but they did not have my size. I asked her what sizes she had gotten for her daughter she said a 10. I told her that was what I wore. Her daughter is very broad in the chest area. She was surprised that my shirt size was so small. That is one reason I will not wear baggy clothes again.

I have greatly decreased the band size, but the cup size is always slow to go down, I don't know why. I think another 10lbs and I can go to a C cup. I was a full D squashed in when I started.

I went from a 40D to a 36C.

Just went bra shopping last weekend. I went down in band size, and up in cup size! By two cup sizes! WTH? I'm anticipating that will change, but I'm not complaining!

HeyGoRun

Remember if your band size goes down your cup goes up, doesn't mean they are bigger
I can be a 32F or 36D

It also depends on losing body fat not just weight, I went from a 36B to only a nipple popping out when I lost over 50#
In 2011, my reward was a boob job, i was not cool with having nothing!

My measurements say that I went from a 42C to a 36C. The 36C however doesn't fit right. I'm guessing I'm a 36B now. I don't understand how my measurements don't fit well in to the size designed for my measurements. Maybe it's the brand.

It could very well be. I'm having the same issue. What I've learned is that sister sizes can help and a whole lot of trial and error is involved. :ohwell: Maybe this pic might help...

these examples aren't the best considering the have a certain body shape in mine...
I'm a '32D' measured by victoria secrets... I look a lot bigger than those photos because I'm top heavy and a lot skinnier...

I find that a problem in that I can't find a shirt that completely shows how flat my stomach is and cover my chest so I have to wear a size that makes me stomach look poofy which is annoying.

I want to get to my former weight, and I wore a 36C at the time....right now I wear a 40D, so hopefully I won't go smaller than I was before.

Haha, why do some women not like having big boobs? I wear a G or GG cup, and let me tell you, it's an absolute pain. Shirts never fit well, my shoulders and back hurt, there's dents in my skin from my bras, they're not attractive at all. More mass = more sagging. Unless you have implants, larger breasts are not perky. I can't wait to go down in sizes everywhere, boobs included.

are you saying a real G or GG cup or the kind that is like 7 or 8 inches from the rib cage?

Because I have 8 inch cups they don't hurt my back nor are they saggy. I'm technically a 28 GG if you measure below the bust and then my bust size. It might be the bra you're using or childbirth or age. Which honestly my mom is a 28C cup and saggy since 20 due to childbirth... That's small... Also let me tell you one more thing. I can tell you myself big breasts are far better saggy than saggy small boobs because they just look like skinny at that point. Anybody can have saggy or perky boobs. I honestly think apples to apples big boobs always win over small ones when compared correcting. Be grateful for what you have you're beautiful no matter what .

I was a 38 DD... now I'm a 32 D. I love my small D's!

I have actually gone from a 38DDD to a 34F! I'm still hoping with the more weight I lose that it'll start falling off my chest.

Aminah3052

My chest has gone down alot I'm still a C so I'm trying to convince myself i only lost "back fat" but if that was
REALLY the case my cup size would be bigger lol but either way for now I'm not too worried. I just had to go buy new bras cuz none that i had were holding me (i kept slipping out if some of them smh(not good to happen in public and DEFINITELY not good for working out)

I've lost 45lbs but I'm still a 40DD occasionally a 38DD with different bra makers. I'm destined for giant boobs I think

heis4u2004

Finally after 30 pound weight loss, I am down one bra size. Can you believe it took that long to go from 36DD to a 34 D? I hope it doesn't take another 30 pounds to get to a C cup. I am only planning on going for another 15-20 pounds or whatever it takes for a healthy body fat%.

Regrettably, the boobs were the first thing I noticed were shrinking
Way back when I was normal weight, I was an A cup. I suspect that I'll be back to that quickly. I haven't done measurements since I started last month, but they are definitely filling the bra a little less. I'll miss being a C cup, but I 'll happily trade them for a healthy STRONG body that can run from the zombie apocalypse if need be

I just started but I'm hoping big or small, they are not tooo saggy.

Same here- in the beginning of my weight loss my initial inches came from my boobs instantly. I was in a C- sometimes a D. I have a feeling I'll be fitting back into my Bs from pre-weight gain I decided to keep which really saddens me.

I concur with trading them any day for a better overall body that won't get eaten in the first 10 minutes of a zombie apocalypse.

I've lost just over 40lbs, 3 band sizes and I think 4 cup sizes. I started out as a 36I and I'm now a 32G. You have to remember that cup sizes get bigger and smaller relative to the band size. Say you were a 34D and are now a 32D you've actually gone down about a cup size, if you hadn't you would now be a 32DD. That's why some of you have gone down band sizes and up cup sizes, they're sister sizes. I'm hoping that once I'm done breastfeeding I'll be in DD territory....

what are all you women doing with the old bras??

TexasDarling09

Honestly, I've gone down a LOT. My biggest bra size was a 54 or 56 DDD, I'm now in a 42 DD, sometimes 42D depending on the bra fit. I had a lot of back fat, so when I started losing, luckily that started coming off first. I still have over 100lbs to lose, hoping they don't go down TOO muchy more (luckily my cup size hasn't really changed as much as my 'around' size), because I like having big boobs! lol Not sure what I'd do if I went to being a skeeter-bite girl.
