A question for all the MFP ladies.

Have you found this true in your experience?

Yes!

Any tips for making sure the weight loss distributes more evenly or to keep from losing my boobs?

Nope! You can't pick and choose where you lose weight. Just gotta go with what cards you are dealt.

Yep boobage is looking quite pathetic and as stated above you can't dictate where the fat is shed. You just have to go with the flow.

Well first, I'm surprised and saddened at how many people on here are so eager to go get plastic surgery to "fix" themselves. Whatever happened to loving yourself the way you are? Its one of the most important things I've learned on my weight-loss journey. I'm not blasting anyone, just saying its kind of sad to read.


Aside from that, I've nearly lost 100 pounds, and I'm at 179. 44DD to 38DD. I the girls did shrink a little but they're still proportionally the same to my body. This really all depends on genetics and the way your body is structured. I carried alot of my weight in my hips and thighs, so my breasts weren't as affected by it I guess.

I was wearing a 42C when I started. After the first 10lbs lost, none of my underwire bras fit anymore, not even when I tried stuffing the cups with socks - both the cups and band width were just too big. I haven't been remeasured (because I have soooo much more weight to lose) so I've just been wearing supportive sports bras since then.

And no, there isn't anything we can do to keep the tatas.

Agreed! At first, it's a little disappointing to see some "deflating" in the beginning, I will admit. However, I fully support the love yourself as you are comment We're all beautiful! Love yourself, ladies!

Yep, it's true! The weight loss will distribute all over your body. Look at Jennifer Hudson. Big difference!

Some of us did it for the health benefit, and not purely physical appearance. My chest was causing me pain in more than one way, and the only way they would ever decrease was if they were to be surgically reduced, and that's what I did.

I've definitely noticed. I've been a G cup for as long as I can remember but my breast are literally loose in my bras now. Yikes, I need to get re-measured again!

I don't mind at all, a G was way too big and hard on my back anyway.

I'm sure this will upset others, but I have only lost band size, not cup size. I'm still a D. Was a 42, now almost a 38. Not to say that I won't lose some later on though - it may happen.

My shoulders and stomach were the first places I started losing from, then the boobs.... I've went down from a good 36C to a 34B, but in some brands a B is even a bit big! When I was at my slimmest, I was a 34A...

I seriously considered breast reduction surgery a couple of years ago. I think the above poster was speaking to "enhancements" that aren't really for health reasons so much as aesthetic. Personally, I don't care what someone else chooses to do with their body. To each her own!

Ive lost a little,but I was big before I gained weight so now insted of being really really big,they are just really big

Mads1997

Hubby said someone stole my backside. Boobs are still there for now.

I've been 95 lbs, I've been 130 lbs, and I'm currently holding steady at around 114. I have always been a D cup. Sure, the 36 went to a 34, but they never actually got smaller. Only band size.

Exactly the same thing here.
Always same cup. Only the band size got smaller.

missy1970eb

thats the 1st place mine goes from

I really need to get myself a new bra. I was hoping to hold off until I've reached my goal weight, but I actually have a little sore now, from the too-big-bra rubbing me while walking yesterday. OUCH!

JennS19

If it's true I'm all for it......My ladies need to be toned down a bit!!! LOL

I heard that when you lose weight, one of the first places you lose it is in your breasts. Have you found this true in your experience? I expect some loss there considering since a lot of the breast is made up of fatty tissue, but I'm nervous about losing too much. Any tips for making sure the weight loss distributes more evenly or to keep from losing my boobs?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I hope it's a valid one!

I've actually went up a cup size and down a lot of band sizes. For some people, as you lose inches, your cup size will increase because your rib cage is getting smaller but you aren't losing your chest so the difference in inches is greater.

I, thankfully, lost weight my weight fairly evenly. My bra size went down from falling out of a 34E to a comfortable, some times too big 32E. Where-as over all I dropped 2, nearly 3 dress sizes. I think it depends more on the person than anything else.
