bra size changes with weight loss

yiffanarff

I think it really depends on your body. For me, I'm a 32DD, and I don't think it'll change too much because 1) I don't have that much weight too lose, and 2) my boobs have been this size since I was about 13 or 14. They didn't really seem to get any bigger when i put on the 20 pounds that i'm trying to lose now. My older sister on the other hand, always had smaller boobs than I did when we were teenagers, but if she gains a little weight her boobs get huge. She always complains that she doesn't get to keep them when she gets in better shape. So I think a lot depends on your natural boob size, and where you store fat when you gain weight. As another example, a good friend of mine has always been about an A cup, despite the fact that her weight has fluctuated up and down about 50-70 pounds in the time I've known her.

I don't know if that helps, but I think that the moral of the story is that the body is going to do what it's gonna do, so try not to stress!

Thats why I got my boobs done!!!

I've lost a little over 20 lbs and I haven't dropped a bra size yet but I can definitely feel that my current size fits better (it was getting very tight) and I may drop soon. Doing strength exercises to build up your pectoral muscles can help a lot. Breasts have a lot of fat so losing some is inevitable when losing weight overall but building the muscle underneath can help keep them firm and looking bigger.

Was a 44DD, now a 40D, and shrinking! I like the smaller band size, but not the smaller cup size. I liked my "big girls". They are just kind of deflating, not getting smaller in a nice tightening way. boo!

The only thing that has changed with mine is the number - because I've lost weight and am smaller around. I'm super happy the cup size hasn't changed. I did have a breast reduction in 2005 and went from a 38DDD/F to a 38C or 40C. I am now wearing a 36C in some brands (on the last - smallest- hook) and a 34C in some brands (on the last - largest - hook). The bra I wore on my first day at the gym was a 40C on the middle hook. The bra I have on today is a 36C on the last - smallest - hook. I paid a lot for these bras and intend to wear them until they are just too big. lol.

Happened to me too... I'm now at a 32B from a 42DD at my heaviest. I'm getting implants probably within the next year so I'm not sweating it.

I am having the opposite affect. I have lost 40lbs and I am still the same band and cup size as I was before weight loss. I feel defeated and depressed. I don't want to lose more than one cup size but I definitely want to lose the fat around my chest and back.

lol the girls who lost their breasts are sad and the girls who can't lose their breasts are sad.....

I have big girls and want them to go down DESPERATELY. I feel like they just make me look bigger overall! I am going to start really looking at my fat and sugar intake (along w sodium as always) and see if this makes a difference.. I'm like 28.5 lbs down and my boobs HAVE shrunk a little (I can tell bc my bras are a little too big) but not enough for my liking

I am one of those who just have huge boobs regardless. My sister, at 118 lbs still wears a 34 D. I'm at 129 lbs and though I am still a D cup, I have noticed the back bands on my bras getting a little large. I think I could probably stand to move down to a 32 D instead of 34. Now in terms of the cup, I have noticed that I don't spill over as much. I'm fitting in there a bit more comfortably. But sadly they have not shrunk.

I went from a very tight and uncomfortable 40 D to a now-loose 36 D. I didn't want to loose any boobage at first, but then I remembered that even smaller boobs would still look bigger up against a smaller overall body. And that's what I'm sticking with.

This is a sad reality. I need to go bra shopping soon. Goodbye to my victoria's secret bras. I just bought them last year!

40DD here! Mine are "surgically enhanced", but I am worried about losing so much (I have 168 lbs to lose) that I have to get a surgical revision. No loss in cup size yet, but my band went from being TIGHT on the last clasp to being slightly loose on the tightest clasp.

Well after having my first I was a 34DD about a month after having him.Ive lost 10ibs since I had him still got 5 more to go but my bust actually went up to 32E (cup is same as a 34DDD) I have always been slim in my stomach and bigger breast for my size. It all depends on how your body stores fat. If you gain fat in your torso you might lose your breast but if you lose it in your hips thighs butt area they might stay the same...does that make any sense?? hard to explain.

I was a 50 DDD in Goddess bras before. Now I'm a 44H or HH in Elomi.

Francl27

So far I've gone from 38DD to 36DD. I wish I'd lose some at least.

JessicaDavila33

I have lost 70 lbs and have gone from a 42DD to a 40DDD what is up with that?

I think this web site explains it best.

It also explains why my 38GG boobs look smaller than the ladies I work with who all claim to be D cups but are much bigger around the back
So basically your got smaller around the back but the volume of your breasts is still the same/similar to before you lost the weight

Before I gained weight I was a perky 34B and very happy with what I had... Then I gained weight and ballooned to a 36D and I HATED it. I hate having big "auntie" boobs, they're just so ageing. Since I lost 22lb I'm back in a 34C and I can't wait for the rest to go.

squiguk

I wish mine would shrink! I've always been a 32GG and no matter whether I lose or gain they stay the same...I think personally I need to get ridiculously thin for them to start shrinking which is never gonna happen...

Lots of people wear the wrong bra size, so what you started out at might not necessarily do the size you were.

I have lost 10kg / 22lb and have gone from a 30GG to a 28F, I still have a few lb to go so expecting to go down another cup size or two. I hope I won't have to roll the girls up to get them in there!

Smaller boobs and being fit is better. Chest exercises to help stop gavity!!! For the top with the plunging neck line there is always the push up bra that adds a size if size matters to you.

Does anyone ever really love their breasts!! I have always hated mine and the more I lose, the more I hate them. My band size has gone down from 42 to 38 but my cup size is still an H. I've lost 39lbs and i still look fat because of my top half.

I've suffered with backache, shoulder ache and I have deep grooves in my shoulders caused by the weight of my breasts.

I look like Dolly Parton and I HATE it.

I've grown to love mine, big or small but it is annoying that my smaller breasted friends who are more "bottom" heavy than me seem to look slimmer than I do especially when sitting behind a desk or wearing a dress etc. But we are all different shapes and sizes and I need to love the shape I am as no matter how much weight I lose I am never going to be shaped like a pencil.

I have lost almost 40 pounds and have gone from a 38D to a 30C. And I can't wear Victoria Secret bras anymore . But I do think my small chest suits my small frame

Every woman is very different on how they lose weight especially in the bust area.

I was a 42DD and am now a 34DD. I wouldn't mind losing more in the boobs especially in the cup size. Last time I lost a lost of weight my boobs looked deflated this time I am doing it slower and healthier so they are going down portionally to the rest of me.

There are a lot of times I wish I had a straighter shape but I have hips and boobs and nothing I do will get rid of them so I have been learning to embrass them.

I tend to lose under bust weight which means my back size gets smaller but the cup gets bigger!

Hi, first post.

I've always been flatchested but with weight gain, I got breasts. Now with weight loss I'm losing them. I'm perfectly OK with this. I came to terms with my breasts a very long time ago. I have always thought my chest was sexy at any size.

two words: birth. control.

I used to be a 34 nearly A. then I went through some major health issues and was put on birth control after several surgeries/treatments.

i jumped up to a 36D.

I have lost 23 lbs so far... and I'm still a 36D. I suspect by the time I lose the last 15-20 lbs I want to lose, I'll be a 34 again... however, I'm guessing I'll also maintain a D, or if I do "shrink" I'll probably be a C at the smallest.
