Loosing Weight Where you Don't Want to...

Hopefully there are some other women out there who can sympathize on this with me. I've finally started to really see a change with the inches coming off, unfortunately I seem to be loosing them rather quickly from chest while they stay pretty stubborn around my hips and thighs! Even when I was in college and in great shape I had a decent sized chest while being fairly trim elsewhere, now my bras are gaping before I'm really noticing a change in my clothes.
I know you can't "spot reduce" areas so I certainly can't keep the fat in my chest there while I still want to loose it elsewhere, but can anyone give me an idea of how much longer my breasts are going to keep shrinking? Thank you for any input!

I was just complaining to my hubby about this. I feel like toothpaste tube being squeezed from the bottom....
Lost the boobs, waist is smaller, now the spare tire is shrinking. The whole time my hip measurement stayed the same.
Just trying to wait it out.(or exercise it out!)0 -
Just so frustrating the one area of fat on my body I really liked was the first to go! I guess it's a good thing my husband isn't a boob man lol0

I completely feel for you!!
When I was smaller, and still an athlete in school I know the only place I had ANY problem with was my stomach.. then as I had gained, it was still my stomach that was the main issue. It wasn't until the last 50lbs of gaining (last 5 yrs) that I'd gained in my legs, arms, and thighs.
I figured when I started losing weight, I'd see huge changes in my stomach, since, it IS the place where I hold most of my weight....I was wrong, lol...
The first places I began losing was : Boobs (/sadface), Back, Butt (/sadface) now I have saggy butt in all pants, and thighs. My pant sizes have decreased very slowly because of this.. Pants look 2-3 sizes too big in my legs and buttt; but because my stomach is decreasing much slower, I have to wear sizes that are too big for everywhere else. My D cup is becoming VERY loose from "my cup runneth over).
I wish I could tell you it wouldn't happen that way, but unfortunately we cannot choose where our body burns fat...and in the end, we may be proportioned different than before we gained (meaning...breasts might be smaller than original, because we can't keep our body from burning that fat)
All I can tell myself is..I'd much rather be healthy, and able to wear cute clothes...than have huge boobs. There are surgeries for that if it REALLY made me feel bad about myself...there aren't any surgeries that will miraculously make me no longer obese. (There is not enough liposuction, etc in the world to do that lol)
Good luck with your weight loss!It WILL come off where you want it to eventually, it's just out of your hands as to where you will lose it first.

I married a butt man...thank god! First to go is the boobs... and the last place to gain.
Thank heavens for padded bras.
I've added a bit extra in the old man’s life insurance so I can buy boobs if he should die before me.0 -
I know exactly how you feel!
I've always been known for well my "boobs" and "butt" And even at that time (about 2 years ago) I was at a decent weight, more than I should be I suppose, but my body was perfect proportions, maybe a little more "squish" here and there..but you know what I'm trying to say!
But Now, I'm debating checking the childrens section for a dang bra (so I'm exaggerating), but they're def no C-Cup anymore. and my butt, we wont go there. A friend the other day referred to me as a "stick figure with hips" Must be karma for teasing my older sister all these years.0
