It hasn't happened yet, but I'm afraid it might. Does anyone have tips on how to lose weight without losing a cup size... or more? Obviously its not the end of the world if it happens, but that was the one positive to gaining this weight haha.

    Unfortunately you can't pick and choose where you do or do not lose weight from, but in my experience you have to lose a significant amount before I lost about one cup size.

    My C is now a B ((That's tough to admit)). I went from 135 to 110. Now thinking about getting them back via the surgical route :)

    Hate to tell ya but I totally had that problem. I used to weigh 220lbs and was BIG up top. I dropped to about 150lbs and got much smaller. Then I had a reduction cause like I said, I was BIG and I thought I would be good to go. Then I lost even more weight, got down to 118lbs and now I am like an A maybe. Haha. It sucks but the weight just chooses where to be lost from. It sucks.

    Personally though, I prefer to have smaller boobs. They're annoying.

    I wish I knew, some people just keep their boobage. I was a 40 C 5 months ago. I am now a 36 A. *sigh*

    Not everyone loses in the boob area.. and you can't choose whether or not you do. I lost 56 pounds year before last and my boobs didn't go anywhere.

    One of the things that'll help is chest exercises - building up those pecs will support what breast remains and make them look better (bigger??)

    I went the surgical route because I was never blessed, but I'll still be building up those chest muscles to make sure that there's some good perk.

    But your smaller body will make your breasts seem more in proportion if it DOES happen. Good luck!

    I've lost 20 pounds so far and the first place I lost it in was my chest... I am almost down a cup size already. :(

    There isn't really any way to prevent it. Your body will take fat from where it wants.

    it depends on your body type, I lose from upper body first and hips/legs last, other people lose from everywhere except bra size!
    if you do chest exercises such as chest press, it will help build up muscle so can help cancel out any shrinking from losing weight (note does not make your boobs grow, just helps them look a bit better due to the increased muscle in the area!)

    You are welcome to some of mine. I shed 125 pounds and reduced my body fat from 56% to 23% and yet I somehow ended up going from a 44F to a 32G! :sad:

    Unfortunately, my cup size went down to lower than it was before I gained weight in the first place. I was never an A before! :( But I definitely think it varies with the individual.

    I just went from a 36 C to a 36 DD when I gained 25 pounds. I'm just so used to them now. If I lose them I suppose I'll have to go the surgical route ha.

    I was a DD at my largest and while I haven't been measured recently I am pretty sure that I am down to a B cup :cry:
    and they aren't just smaller, they are flat and saggy :sad: sadly they are always the first thing to go on me.

    Chest exercises, such as chest press or puch ups, will help them stay more perky a least. But the only way to ensure they din't get small is a boob job, that's my plan. :wink:

    I lost a cup size, going from DD to D. Some bras I can even get a C cup. Praying they don't get any smaller.
