Boob question...

So I have lost 25kgs approx (55lbs), and at my largest I was very 'blessed' in the chest as my mother said. I assumed that when I lost weight my chest would be th first thing to disappear...however this was in no way the case.

My boobs have gotten bigger! I don't understand? The rest of me has shrunk and incredible amount, but my chest has grown, I have even had to go out and buy new bras because my other ones are too SMALL.. :noway:

Its getting a little annoying, because people keep asking me if they are fake because they are starting look out of porportion to the rest of me... :explode:

Has anyone else had this happen to them??

    Geez I wish i had that problem! Mine were small to begin with ... the rate im going i'll be a training bra by the time im 34...:) But in your case I would probably say they are not getting bigger they are just lifting which makes them seem like they are bigger. You may not have realized they 'sagged' a bit before you got started. If you're that uncomfortable there is always reduction procedures. I know Im contemplating implants once i get to my goal weight (for personal confidence purposes)

    ARGH same!

    Its so frustrating because I WOULD be able to fit into smaller size clothes if my boobs weren't so big!

    And im beginning to look out of porportion :(

    Silly boobs :grumble:

    I went and got professionally fitted and they went up a whole cup size, its ridiculous.

    I always thought I would be looking at getting implants when I got to my goal weight too, for the same reason..but apparently my body has other ideas..

    Are they actually bigger (more fatty), or are your pectoral muscles doing their job better?

    My actual cup size has gone up. The annoying thing is sports type clothing is often quite tight around the chest, and I end up looking like I just stepped off the set of a porno when I go to work out :grumble:

    Same here haha, hoping they don't get any bigger as I keep losing weight, or I might end up with some back issues.

    Any chance you have a lot of soy protein in your diet? Could be having an increase in estrogen. Or it could be you are young and they are still growing. :-)

    I love my boobs...I just want them to stop growing because now they look odd....

    I make normal looking singlets etc look obscene..

    Maybe you've gained some chest muscle that's enhancing them? Maybe they are adjusting themselves for your new figure? Well, at least men won't mind LOL.

    You lost over 50lbs, and you think carrying that much less weight overall, but possibly a little more on your chest will give you back problems?

    Mine haven't gotten bigger but they haven't shrunk with my 23lb weight loss. The way bras are measured, is the cup is the band size plus number of inches the bust adds(an 32 A would be a 32 inch band and 33 inch bust, 34 DD is 34 inch band and 39 inch bust). So I have been wearing a 34DD, but when I took my measurements, I technically would be a 29J (which is the same bust size as 34DD). I have never heard of such a size, so I will continue to wear my 34DD's although they don't fit very well.

    Isn't there something about the way bra sizes are that when you go down in inches around you have to go up in the cup size?

    I feel your frustration. Although mine aren't getting bigger, they just aren't coming down like I hoped they would. I'm losing inches everywhere except my boobs and my calves . ???

    I think the large girls make me look bigger all over and I'm tired of it. And running, jumping, etc. with them is a joke - even with a sports bra.

    I think this is similar to the straight hair - curly hair dilemma us girls go through. We are just made to want what we don't have :ohwell:

    For me My boobs are the last thing to shrink! I hate it. I was actually looking into surgury to reduce them but all Dr's said get at your ideal weight so then we can look at what size looks best on your body. Im hoping when I make my gal weight my boobs will have gotten smaller!!!!!!

    Just because your cup size goes up, doesn't mean they're getting bigger. The cup size is a ratio of the band size to the fullest part of your breast. So, if your breasts stay the same, but your band size goes down with weight loss, your girls are still the same size, you just get a different letter because the ratio changed.
