    I think that is totally normal, but I wanted to share something... I thought the exact same thing was happening to me until this past weekend when I went to buy a new, smaller bra. The cup size shrinks as the band size shrinks on bras. So a D cup on a 40 is bigger than the D cup on a 38. I knew this but still thought my cup size had dropped a good bit. turns out I've gone from a 44DDD to a 42 DDD. And I could tell that if things continue the same way, I'll be a 40DDD soon.

    I'm glad I'm not going to be flat chested any time soon, but I was really looking forward to being something more normal, like a C or a D. I'm curious now to see if that ever even happens.

    I lost a bit in my boobs too but maybe its for the best, otherwise I think they would not look proportionate.. So I think in the end all evens out..

    Well Done on losing that much weight in that short amount of time. I bet some has come off of your waist too, you just havn't noticed it yet. Yes, the boobs and back fat will go down a little, but it's all good.

    I notice that too when I lose weight. Unfortanately, big breasts run in my family. I'm a 38DDD/F and I can be skin and bones and they will only go down so far. I have skinny cousins with huge boobs. My mom was an HHH/J and a buck 25 when she was my age. I think I'll get down to a 36DD if I'm lucky.

    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 ....

    My underbust measurement (band size) is down about 3 inches, and I am down 1 cup so far. This makes sense since I gained a cup with the last 20 pounds I gained. But since I lost those, my underbust is shrinking, cup size not as much.

    Definitely keep tabs on your underbust. You may lose in the cup and the band, or just the band or just the cup.

    You might end up with something liks a 36H, if your breast volume remains the same. IF you go up in the band, you need to go down a cup for the same volume of breast tissue. So a 34D = 36C = 38B = 32DD = 30DDD in terms of breast size. The band and the cup are relational.

    I had lost 20 lbs. a few years ago and went from a C to a B cup. They do say we tend to carry fat in the chest and mostly on the sides under the armpit area too. :( I know how you're feeling.

    Your band size has gone down and your cup size has gone up?! This is what dreams are made of! Hahaha I hope something similar happens for me.

    Wow I so wish I had that problem I lose from the bottom up, even when I was 115 lbs I was still a 34 ddd. I wish I knew what I could do to lose some boobs at least two sizes down would be great on by back and shoulders.
