Women! Losing weight in boobs mostly

Okay ladies so I've lost 26lbs in 55 days and I have some pictures (not worth showing yet) but I haven't noticed a thing. The only thing I can tell so far that has changed is my bra can hinge on the middle notch now and not the last one. And the cups on my bra seem awfully big compared to before. Basically my boobs have shrunk and nothing else when my main problem area is my stomach.
I know I can feel that I have lost weight but I can't see it. Is that normal? Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

    The chest area is where I always start losing weight from first -- after six weeks I lost 7.25" in my chest area alone and my bras were getting too big *lol*

    I went from D's to B's in the first 6 months. About 55 pounds down and only 10 from my goal but still working on the belly. Can't pick where it comes from unfortunately.

    I'm pear shaped - so this happened to me too - and they weren't big to begin with - :sad: But dont be too discouraged, keep at it, and the rest of your body will follow. Even though I have small small boobies now, the rest of me is much smaller too :flowerforyou:

    I haven't lost boob sizes, but after the first 10 pounds I started seeing my clavicles more as well as hipbones and wrist bones. However I didn't notice my belly changing, but people who haven't seen me for several months keep asking me if i,ve lost weight! Sometimes it takes several pairs of eyes to see it.

    Yep.....I lose from my upper body mostly in the beginning....thats just the way I was made. But eventually, you start losing down the bottom, too.

    Exactly what I went through...Dropped some weight...all in the boobs...finally it seems to be shifting some because I can fit into my smaller pants now. Frustrating to have to buy new bras but not new pants.

    We (women) tend to lose top down, and then it is all SUPPOSED to re-arrange itself. Eager to see that happen.
    I also started lotion-ing the saggy skin on my belly to hope that it doesn't always look like a deflated balloon.

    I have always been big chested so I don't think my girls will go away COMPLETELY but I have noticed that they are getting smaller. The first thing that went away for me was by butt :(

    A few years back I went on a very restrictive diet - no white bread or rice, no beef, pork, chicken, and nothing fried.

    While it worked wonders on the scale, I was unhappy all the time and I went from 44DDD to 40D.

    Then I got married and the diet went out the window. So now I'm trying to implement actual life changes: practice better portion control and exercise more. I've been steady at 42DD for a while now even with the changes. Hopefully it won't be too big of a quick/drastic change because bras can get pretty expensive! :laugh:

    I lose in my boobs and stomach before anything else.

    A lot of it comes down to genetics. Since dieting, my band size has decreased, but my cup size has gone up. Hopefully it stays that way ....

    Ive lost 75lbs and noticed no difference in my chest size other then the back fat.

    I read somewhere that men store fat around their stomach area for easy energy. And women store fat in legs/hips/stomach area for pregnancy/in case of food shortage. Im not sure how true this "evolution" theory is but I have noticed that my body has really struggled with me to give up those unwanted pounds :)

    I wonder if apple shape/pear shape bodies play a part in where you lose weight first.

    Yea mine are shrinking, deflating, whatever you wanna call it. As long as they are in a bra they look fine, but other than that, not so much.

    I had small boobs to begin with....went from a size 38 B to a 36 barely B. I would like to lose a few more pounds but can't afford to lose much more in the boobie area!

    Well, I went from a triple D while nursing, to a D and after losing 60 pounds I was a B. I've gained back 20 and now I'm in a C...so I would say that losing (and gaining) in the breasts seems to be the first step in either process. There's no way to control where you lose fat. But just remember, once the rest of you catches up with your breast, they'll look bigger again:wink:

    Same with me. Upper body/waist loses first. :indifferent:

    Yep - boobs are the first place I lose any weight. In fact I've had to throw a couple of my blouses in the goodwill pile because there wasn't enough to really fill them out anymore. I find I usually lose a couple sizes in tops vs one size in bottoms. My thighs are where I struggle to lose. I blame it on my mother as we are built exactly the same. :)

    Yep, but they aren't terribly small. I think I was like 38D when I was nursing, stopped nursing were like 36C, started losing weight now I am at like 34C, some Cs fit too big but Bs are too small. I am kind of in between now.
    I love them now actually. I can on my stomach when I sleep, they actually look perkier now and shirts fit me nicer than they use to when my boobs were bigger.

    YES! I have lost a full cup size. From DD to D. 43 pounds lost.

    Something I've noticed that I really hope will even out over time is that my breasts are not the same size. They are almost a full cup size different! My left is a full D where my right barely fills the D. It makes me very self conscious.

    My husband told me the other day that from the back and front I have an hour glass shape again. I'm happy about that. I just need to keep losing in my belly. It is my biggest problem area and seems to be the last to go. :(
