Am I losing weight wrong? A concern about body shapes

CirrusMoth

I hope the women here might be able to ease my mind some about a realization I had a few days ago.

Some background:
I'm 29 years old and currently weigh about 175 lbs with an hourglass figure. I am 5'4" and wear a size 14 dress...and a size F bra. At my heaviest (around 224 lbs), I was up to a size G bra. I have always been full-figured. I've worn a D since I was 13 years old and although my weight has fluctuated throughout middle and high school, in my youth, I was never heavier than 180 lbs and a size DD.

My current weight puts me about where I was in late middle school, early high school.

I have lost almost 50 lbs and dropped 3 dress sizes, but my boobs are still huge. So far, I don't look too bad. My hips are still rather large, so the hourglass is balanced, but I'm beginning to get worried. Why hasn't my bust shrunk more? How can I be in the same weight category, but have such a different shape just a decade later?

I like being curvy and I never expected (or wanted) to be small breasted. Even at my healthiest (150 lbs), I was still a D (size 10), with no signs of changing. I guess I'm just starting to get worried that my weight loss is going to throw my body out of proportion. I don't want to look like some porn star with an ungodly huge rack on a little body. Not to mention how hard it will be to find clothes that fit.

I suppose I'm happy that my boobs aren't emptying out like old speed bags, but I'm starting to worry. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just stick with it and the boobage will follow.

If you do end up stick thin with them, you could always be a glamour model.

I always had a C no matter my weight, but I'm by far fitter now and more muscular than I have been ever before in my life (including when I was tiney in HS), the girls are completely gone . . . I'm a very depressing "A."
that being said, my experience was that the less bf% and more strength training I did with my cardio the smaller they were. I decided that my results in that area really are due to the strength training because that's the only variable that has never existed to this extent before.

Sounds pretty awesome, to me

A lot of women pay good money for what you've got -- enjoy!!

they'll shrink eventually, they are mainly fat stores... It's mainly genetics that will impact how big your bust is at a certain weight but as I said they're fat stores so once you lose enough body fat they'll come down too.

Keep losing... then you can have some awesome boobs that look like socks with a golf ball in them
I admit I miss my "fat" boobs....but I sure don't miss being fat.

You are going to be YOUR body shape no matter what. Genetics predetermines this.

I have big thighs (small boobs) - when I weighed 156 I had big thighs - when I weighed 106 I still had big thighs.

If you've always been large chested, you will always be large chested, no matter your weight. It sounds like you're fine with that.

That said, I think a D looks pretty darn proportional on a 150 pound 5'4" woman. My sister-in-law is almost that exact size and she looks "right."

Strive2BLean

I can relate in the opposite direction. I have hips but barely fill out a B cup and it's been that way no matter what I weigh and I've been at lots of different weights., I guess your bust size is what it is. I have a hard time filling out my tops and forget anything that remotely looks like a halter type dress. I wouldn't be concerned if I were you.

Thanks for all the comments! I know that rationally speaking, boobs are just fat, so they'd have to go down as my fat% goes down, but I guess I'm just surprised there hasn't been much of a change yet.

Remember that estrogen plays a part as well, so you as a woman will always have fuller boobs than you did as a teenager. But keep at at, and at a fit weight, you'll look great whether they stay or go.

Eventually they will start to go. I had lost about 50 pounds with no change in the girls at all then all of a sunnden between 50 and 70 they have gone from an H to a DD. I was so glad that something finally happened.

I too have been big on top. Even in High School wore a 38-C. Now - much older & having lost 30 lbs. down from 165, I'm still having to buy a 42-C that fits snug. Hope that will change~
