Just a rant....I was so excited yesterday to put on a Size Large dress. Very cute, and nothing I would normally wear in public. I looked so good in it, except the girls. They barely fit in the top. Why won't they go down? Just a little is all I'm asking. I hate that I have to continue to wear an XL just so they fit. I know they don't normally shrink with weight loss, but I was hoping. Now off to JcPenny today to see if I can find anything I like there. :)

    I feel your pain. I still have to wear an XL shirt 99% of the time.

    They might shrink as you get closer to your goal weight. At my highest weight, I wore a DD. Now I'm in a D, but at my lowest weight I wore a C.

    I'm with you there. Even when wearing size 14 pants, my girls are DDD. They did go down from the G they were at my highest weight, but beware your wishes. They don't decrease prettily, in a reverse growing way. They are more like party balloons two weeks after the party. Sure, they take up less space, but they sure were much more fun to look at back in the day.

    LOL. I feel your pain! Mine have gone down some, but definitely slower than some of my other body parts. Hang in there. They'll get the message. :laugh:

    Being a small breasted person myself, I'm between an A and a B, I envy y'all. I'd love to be able to complain about how huge my breasts are. But, I just complain about being the president of the itty bitty titty committee.

    well, for me the girls are the first to go!!!! It used to make me sad, but after having gained quite a bit "there" I am looking forward to them going back to their non existence; though I do feel sorry for my husband.

    same here, i have to buy a L or XL just so they fit! my hubby took me shopping the other day and he picked out the cutest dress for me to try on, he gave me small to try on. i looked at him and told him i needed a large. he looked at me and said "theres no way your a large". I pointed to my girls and he just smiled!

    Mine got bigger when I gained weight so I would hope they would get smaller when I lose. Mine were a C and now I am a G! What happened to everybody saying that's the first place they get smaller?

    It only happens to those of us that don't have much of "them" to lose!:embarassed:

    I'm with ya! At my smallest & at my largest the girls are the same! I get so frustrated when I go bra shopping since I also have such an unusual size (34DDD) that I always say I have to go to the stripper store to buy bras!

    At least you still HAVE the boobs! My biggest problem, when losing weight, is the boob loss. I've always been flat as a washboard growing up and to finally have something to fill out my tops is beyond words (meaning: I look like a WOMAN).
    Even if you're wearing the XL or L top, be happy, because you have the tatas to show off!

    I have the opposite problem with dresses and the girls. For some reason, dress manufacturers think my boobs should be way bigger given the size of my hips. I tried on THE cutest dress, but it was like 3 sizes too big just in the bust. And my mom's a seamstress, and even she didn't think it could be taken in that much and still look good. But it fit perfectly in my hips so going down a size was not an option. (And I'm a DD cup!)

    lol *looks down at my own 32A ladies* Smaller chested women wish for slightly bigger, bigger chested wish for slightly smaller. That's life. I have to wear an XL and I don't have that problem. But I do have broad shoulders. I was just telling my husband yesterday that I will never be a tiny woman no matter how much weight I lose. My frame is just too dang big. Wide hips and broad shoulders.

    These posts are making me smile! I am a 36DD, and they are the same size as when I started almost 40 lbs ago. I'm completely willing to share a cup or two to anyone who wants them. :)

    I'm a 40DD, I hate it and can't wait for mine to shrink!! I'd kill to get back to a C, and I'd be over the moon in a B. I think my husband would leave me if I hit an A cup though! LOL

    lol my husband jokes about his "perky little A cups". He's pretty fit as he delivers furniture everyday.

    that is always the first thing to go on me. I guess everyone loses differently.
  • I have a H cup and love them. I dont mind buying big dresses to fit them and get the dress taken in everywere else,My friends all want my chest so i just make the most of what i've got.

    You read my mind. I fit a medium shirt perfectly but the girls looks suffocated in them which is annoying so im stuck wearing a large and in dresses a 14 instead of 12. it gets annoying but i can tell they've gotten smaller due to strength training, so im going to keep doing chest presses and hope i go down another cup size.. i wan to be a C not a D

    Went to JcPenny on lunch and bought a SIZE 12 dress, and the girls FIT!! Can't believe it. Has got to be the brand of the dress. I tried other 14's on too and didn't even finish zipping in the back (at the girls area). I'm attempting to add a pic. Hopefully it works.

    that looks really good. have you tried a different bra? i have a couple bras that are less push up-y. a couple times i have been wearing one and my bf will say "are you wearing a bra?" he says they dont look "saggy" just that theres "not so much"

    Actually in the picture I'm not wearing a bra at all. But I think I still need something. In person they still kinda looked saggy. I dont want them to be over the top, but appropriate for a wedding. :)
