Hey there ladies,

So I have lost about 15 pounds (a little over 10% of my body weight) and feel like my breasts have gotten dramatically smaller. Am I just insane, or has this happened to others as well?

Thanks!

    Breast tissue is mainly adipose. When you lose weight, you lose body fat from all over...and this includes the boobies.

    Well, I haven't got there yet... however before my weight gain I was a 32A, and now I am a 36B. So, yes it happens! I had the reverse happen to me!

    I hope now that I am losing weight, maybe I'll get lucky and lose weight everywhere FROM there. :)

    It happens for some women and doesn't for others. It mainly depends on genetics. If your breasts were small when you were thinner, they'll be small again. If they were big before, chances are they'll still be big once you've lost the weight.

    Yes, happening to me also. I have lost 20 lbs. and they have already gone down 2 sizes.

    Boobies are deflating and I love it. When I gained weight I kept the same bra size so for just over a year I've had that double boob look happening LOL. They are all back in the cup now.

    I wish. It hasn't happened for me yet. And as soon as it does I will be able to finish zipping up my wedding dress ;) Am actually a little nervous that I am not going to loose it in my breasts before the wedding. And I only have about 40 days.

    Sigh. Thanks everyone! I guess it is back to being a bit flat-chested. Nuts to that.

    Are you going down band and/or cup sizes? I had a breast reduction 4 years ago (putting me at a 34DD) so I'm curious if you guys are going down just cup sizes, just band sizes, or both. I have about 40 lbs to lose.

    Yes! I was so sad when I went down a cup size. Sometimes weight loss = boob loss. :(

    The one thing I actually liked about the overweight me was my voluptuous breasts lol
    Last week I thought the elastic had gone in my bra & then I realised that I'd gone down 2 sizes. I've only bought one new bra as my weight loss isn't over yet.
    I want my bigger boobs back! :sad:

    I lost 100 lbs, went from a 40DD to a 32B. :smile: Losing my breasts is actually the thing I'm happiest about in my weight loss.
