    If u went down a band size your breast size likely decreased too...let's say u were a 34d...the sister size to this bra would be a 32dd.... Meaning if your breast stayed the same size your cup size would have INCREASED...hope I am making sense.

    Think about this...I wear a 30g...I'm thin with big boobs...but a 36g bra would look VERY different...My 30g would look like a teeny tiny thing next to it!! (btw my boobies fit in a 34dd.. But the band is way too big...hence why I need the odd size I wear!!)

    So Basically a cup size is not standardized to band sizes...

    But awesome that u are still boobalicious!!! ;) xoxo

    Not really, which stinks because I have a *lot* going on up there.
    44F to 32G with 125 pounds of weight loss.
    Since then, I've focused a lot on strength training and the girls are finally going down a bit. I'm a 32DDD/F now but they're getting a little roomy so I am almost ready to go down to a 32DD.

    I can imagine I will. When I was at my skinniest, I had no boobs (A cup barely). Now I have boobs (almost C cup). So boobs will probably shrink, I hope not tho.

    My band size changed, but most of my bras still fit, if I shorten the straps and go on the first hook instead of the last. My boobs didn't grow much when I gained weight (which, believe me, pissed me off to no end) so mercifully, they haven't really shrunk as I lost, either.

    I actually got the surprise of my life the other day. I got measured for a bra at VS the other day and they told me 36C. My husband says the look on my face was priceless. I've always been an A. I'd say before I lost weight I was in a 38A. I expected my band size to go down, not my cup size to go up! I didn't believe her, so I tried it on: fit like a dream. I still can't believe it.

    So I'd have to say, no I haven't lost any boobs. I also don't think I gained any either. I think it was a fluke.

    Yes I have--thank goodness! (Though I was up to a 38J--I was pregnant & nursing.) I'm now happily down to a 36DD... wouldn't mind a little more gone. It's just so hard to find shirts & dresses. Plus, the extra boobage adds pounds visually.:blushing:

    I have previously with a little loose skin to boot. Big breasted women run rampant in my family though. My mom had surgery and was a HHH, she got down to a DDD but has gained weight and probably has reversed her surgery by now.

    I went from a 42B to a 34D/36C after losing weight. I guess I didn't lose much weight in my breasts, but I lost a ton around my ribs and back.

    from 40b to 38b. i really could not afford to lose in that area!! why is it you always lose in the area you don't want to and it takes an act of God to lose in the places u need to?

    I have never lost a cup size, for me it's been the band size which goes down.

    ahh see i got measured when i knew for definite that id lost weight and wasnt just dreaming and id gone from a 36D to a 34DD the lady told me that in order to keep the cup size the same in a 34 i'd have to get a DD and it fits perfectly so must have been true!

    40DD down to a 34D so far. It seemed to happen all at once and was a little shocking. I'm totally okay with it now though. I'd even be okay with losing a little more.

    Wow this question gets asked a lot. BTW, since breasts are made up of a lot of fat, losing in that area is to be expected.

    This is a topic near and dear to my heart ;-)
    I was a 38F when I started on MFP - 30 lbs later I'm a 38 DD but I'm on the smallest set of hooks on the band. Hoping to get down to a 36D - at my lowest weight in college I was a full 36C but I'm not holding my breath on that one. I lose weight last in the boobs and stomach while my thighs and butt are the first to go.
