boobie question...!?

californiansun

okay...a head's up for a little TMI, but i'm going to ask anyways! so, i was about to go to bed last night, and i sleep naked. before i laid down, i did a little back stretch, kind of downward-dog-esque, and i got a good look at my boobs hanging down. they looked skinny and hangy! not like my boobs at all! i was very upset - i think i liked my boobs much better 15 pounds ago - are they going to stay like that? as i continue to lose weight will they start to look more boobie-ish again, or are they going to just look like...i don't know...arms or something. they don't look weird when i'm dressed or standing or any other time, but it actually kind of freaked me out. anyone have any boobie experience out there?

I have G's (I'm not sure what bra size I am, since no one in town makes my size). I've lost weight, and they have bounced back. It takes time. Do a LOT of chest exercises to build up the muscle. DO NOT do breast implants. Everyone I know who has had them says they're painful, they got infected/ became hard, and they're super annoying. The pros do not outweigh the risks.

Even the most... perky boobs get... "saggy" looking doing the downward-dog-esque... it's called GRAVITY! haha. Don't worry about it so much.

Mine look better when I'm thinner! I guess it is just something you have to deal with.

Yes, they will just get worse, all stretched and saggy like a tennis ball in a tube sock.

If you're doing plenty of chest work outs and such, then your boobs shouldn't be flabby or arm-ish. You have to do the proper strength exercises to keep them perky and awake! Hope this helps.

Have you had children?

Utterly loved the 'running topless from the cops is my motivation' haha!

I'm big and afraid of the boob loss but I would rather be healthy and thin with no boobs than big with em! Just keep trying the exercise and buying sexy bras and it'll all be okay =D

not going to lie, I am still stuck on the visual.

When I lost weight I got flat chested so I got implants.

Always better then being flat chested. Thats something that I hope I don't lose lol

And what's wrong with being flat chested?

amandavictoria80

Personally, I have high hopes of losing my boobs with weight loss. I've had a chance to experience both small boobs and big boobs. I prefer smaller boobs. They don't get in the way.

I would rather be flat chested than be a 90 year old woman with DD's.

I have nursed a baby and lost most of my baby weight.
I have to admit my girls are still fabulous. Sorry.

Look on the bright side - when you were in that position they weren't slapping you on the chin.

kirstyfromscotland

i lost all my boobs when i lost weight, i much prefered mine when i was 32lbs heavier, but not enough to go back there, mine dont hang coz theres not enough to droop lol. I am dreaming of getting implants but will sadly probably never be able to afford it :sad:

misti17

ummm YES!!! My boobs suffered the same thing. It was embarrassing to me!! My man got me a great present for my birthday and mine are perfect now!!!!!!!! Some people call it vanity. I call it feeling sexy and beautiful for my man!

I must I must I must inflate my bust!!!!

Thank your for making me laugh out loud! causing my 5 year old ask what im laughing about...

there are excercises that work, google them. but age and gravity will take their toll.

Oh man! This took me back to when I first read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." The things we women do that concern our bobbies and the worry we put into them.

Omgod. . . .

I'll state it again.

I LOVE MY BIG BOOBS!!

I too am looking forward to needing to buy new bras because mine are too big. That will be a happy day when I go down a few sizes.

yevasdottir

Mine are UK doubleF cups and I'd rather they were not so large. I've lost about ten pounds since starting seriously to monitor my eating and increase my exercise and the only change has been that I have to wear my bra fastened on the tightest fastening - cup size is not shrinking. I would love smaller appendages but I don't think it's going to happen.

And as I was listening to a broadcast about breast cancer (our risk increases as we grow older - did you know that?) I thought that, rather than complaining about the size of my boobs, I should just be glad they are (so far) healthy.

I'm right there with you, sister!

soniaa777

yea. when your boobs are parallel to the ground, they will be like arms.hahahaha, it seems so, after some weight loss or boobloss. after breastfeeding they grow to epic proportions,than shrink and deflate(from experience). oh the sad reality.

some people do plenty chest exercises to strengthen the muscles. maybe that will help.

inHistiming

I found that investing in a good push-up bra helped me feel better about myself. It won't help how you feel when undressed but in clothes it makes a huge difference. Might be worth a try.

Nice. Not everyone minds being flat chested - and way to be supportive of ladies who are self conscious about it!

OP - being healthy and fit is always better than just a nice set of breasts.

andiechick

there was a Golden Girls episode about this. As you age, there will be 'positions' you want to avoid. LOL -
try standing on your head ...

and btw - a large chest is HIGHLY over-rated - Nothing is scarier than an old lady with huge knockers

hahaha, i got a mental vision of magda from 'something about mary' here, lol!!!!

Breast cancer runs in my family and I have already had 2 scares with lumps. Big, small, perky, or droopy just keep them cancer free and I'm happy!

Does anyone remember this: "Do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pb6fADfG4I&feature=related :bigsmile:

I had the same problem and I'm sure it doesn't happen to everyone. When I lose/lost weight I also lost my boobs (I didn't have much to begin with) ; so I waited til I made my goal weight (the first time) and got implants.

christine24t

I've gone down a cup size. I wear this huge padded bra!

There is nothing wrong with being flat chested, its just your personal preference. I prefer not being flat chested, others prefer to be flat chested. All that matters is that you are happy with yourself

flatbellybella

Usually boobs are the first to go. Super easy to lose. Look at half the female contestants on Biggest Loser. Most of them are becoming beyond flat chested.
I've lost about 33+ lbs... and I have unfortunately noticed quite a difference in my chest.
I guess weight loss is like a win lose type of thing... :grumble:
lost tons of inches in my waist but lost probably just as much in my chest lol
(but then again maybe it's all in my head)

We're all different, I guess. I appreciate the fact that my man thinks I'm sexy and beautiful from when I was 130# with perky boobs, to 237# with droopy boobs, and every size/weight/type of boob in-between.

Agreed. I have small boobs (and always have) so they're super perky, and never get in the way or hurt when I'm running or doing yoga. ,I can wear loose fitting clothing and still look skinny. I have little nipples, and all of the guys I've been with have told me they love my small boobs.
I'm not saying that it wouldn't be nice to be a nice C cup, but in the long I'm glad I have boobs that will never sag.

I second that. I didn't have a problem when I was a smaller cup size but then I had my son and nursed him. I lost shape & lift then I started to lose weight which caused them to shrink. I was unhappy so I had surgery.
