Okay, I have ran the gamit here, Started out my adult life with Bountiful B's, First Child Ca-ching C's, Second Child Delightful D's, Maintained those D's until gravity started to take affect. What was once Delightful D's turned to Droopy D's. Weight loss has since turned my Droopy D's to Deflated Circus Balloons. Any suggestions would be a blessing!
lol at your colorful language0 -
Boobs were the best part of being obese...and Now...looks like I'll be president of the itty bitty titty committee again in no time :sad:

I got some great chuckles reading this board.
But, I have always been chesty 36D didn't really bother me. But the last time I went bra shopping and I ended up with 40DD; I tried to remain positive, I think they started making bras smaller..... (it sounded good at the time)
Any who.... besides muscle toning advice, the only thing I can add it: 1. A good sports bra 2. I always wear a fitness tank-top that is TIGHT (ok too small) but I want to keep them from bouncing-which helps with comfort and not pulling peck muscles.
I probably should get some new sports bras because my chest is smaller and I notice that they don't all provide the same support that they used to provide.0 -
hundredpushups.com lift those boobies!
My man boobies are shrinking :happy:
lol0 -
I've not read all the responses, b I dropped from a DD to a B... I was also told that 9/10 women who lose their breasts, probably weren't full muscle or "breasts" they were storeing fat in their breasts, therefore you lose the majority of your boobs... mine never went saggy though..0
-
Mine are gone too...there isn't or never was much there to sag though. I wish we could choose where the fat came from, but I just deal with it

You can have half of mine. :flowerforyou: I don't want them. :noway:
same here!0 -
I've been doing mostly strength training (mainly focused on core training and legs because I didn't walk much for 3 years) and while mine are shrinking, they are definitely lifting. (They've been big and floppy for a while) If you have personal trainers at your gym (assuming you belong to one), just ask one to give you some quick tips on what machines and/or exercises you might focus on. I belong to the YMCA and they offered a wellness program for only $15, the trainer showed me how to use every single machine, and explained what would be best to focus on for my goals.0

My mother promised me when I lost weight the last time that I would lose my boobs...long story short, she lied! Every time I've lost weight mine have went up a cup. I am determined this time that it won't happen, but I haven't quite figured out how to stop it yet. I'm up to a DDD and I really don't want them. I would be totally cool with a C or even B cup.0

sometimes it takes a while for the skin to bounce back, push ups might help... but just be patient, you're young enough that your skin still contains elastin and I'm not sure how much water you drink but that may help also, hope this helps0
-
I have the same problem...mine are gone, gone, gone! I went from a 42D to a 32B. Don't even want to think about what they look like bending down or laying down...it's awful. But, I have to live with it! At least I am healthy! LOL0
-
I wish i had some in the first place D=
I'm completely flatchested... v.v
Since i started exercising my chest a lot more, i have a liiiiiiitle hint of boobs, now ^^0 -
bench press ( flat, decline, inclined) chest flys (flat, declined, inclined) pullovers, pushups, wall ball with a weighted medicine ball. Those are a few. Doing the press and flys in different positions will work different areas of the muscle to help push and pull your boobs up like a bra. It is important to strength train during weight loss. It will help prevent the loose and saggy skin because you will be building muscle under the fat.Thanks for your response. I figured that much, but I'm not sure which ones to do besides push ups and chest press.
I agree with this! .... I have heard that doing push ups isn't optimal... because they cause your shoulders to cave in and down instead of up and back ..giving a hunching look instead of a raised perky look... but Idk if that's true or not lol ... I always do push ups also, but def include all of this ^^^ there TOO!0 -
I think a big part of it is genetics and where your body stores fat too. At my thinnest I was a very full34D. As I gained weight my boobs got out of control while my band size pretty much stayed the same, got all the way up to a 34F, which imo is way too large. Went in for a consult for breast reduction and the doc said I should lose weight 1st, since that was my goal and to come back when I'm closer (within 10 pounds approx) of my "goal weight" because 1) most likely they would get smaller with weight loss and 2) if we did the surgery and I then lost a ton of weight they would sag and it'd be a waste of the surgical procedure.
Since then I've lost almost 20 pounds, but my boobs are still pretty big at a 34DD, only now they fit into my bras nicely with no spillage.
I do strength training exercises about 3 x's a week and cardio 4-5 days a week, and you better believe I'm doing chest presses and flyes and etc, to build up those chest muscles, because I've always though my breasts a bit too saggy since they started growing around 16. I've had 3 kids and all that milk growing and shrinking does take its toll... I'm considering if they get back to a regular D cup, I may go back and get a consult for a lift rather than a reduction...though idk if I can actually have it done because it's so expensive, which is why I'm doing the exercises. Also when I workout I wear 2 bras, a tight fitting regular bra and a sports bra over it, because quite frankly I can use all the support I can get! lol0 -
I haven't seen them any where, but I've never really seen a pair on me either. I have read of people who are very small breasted doing weights to build up so they have something so I"m thinking that's your best bet
Had to respond-you made me laugh. Thanks.:bigsmile:
Yeah, thanks for your response. I was normally a 36 C and when I became pregnant, I went to a 40C/40D. After having my son, I eventually settled at a 38C after losing and gaining back the weight. Now my 36C's don't even fit. This is ludacris.
Have you had a good fitting done? Most women wear the wrong size bra. They compensate for cup size in band or vice versa.
I haven't had a fitting since I've lost weight.0 -
There's a lot of genetics involved in where you lose weight fastest. My chest goes flat fast while I have thunder thighs to the end. On the other hand, my mom would love to pass some of her boob to me, she can't get rid of 'em (I inherited from my dad's side)0

Push-ups and chest exercises. My chest has not gotten smaller, but the girls are more perky 0

Beautiful arms! Any who, I was a 38DDD when I started this journey...now I'm a 34D and my girls lay next to me in beds at night!I have the same issue!! :sad:0 -
My boobs are sagging too! I'm going to have to do a chest exercise weekly to get them back up. My bf even mentioned it to me and it kinda upset me lol0

It may be caused by losing weight too fast. Mine have gotten smaller but, not saggy. I complete a full chest workout each week, which may have contributed to keeping them "up".
I have noticed my girls shrinking as well. Not as perky as before. Could you share you're chest routine I've take a couple routines from my guy friends but it seems like i feel them more in the area closer to my pits...I don't have boobs in my pits so I'd rather focus elsewhere. LOL Thanks!0 -
I'm 44 and have gone from a DD to a small B (I've lost over 100lbs) Ain't nothing helping mine except surgery. It all depends on your situation, age, and speed of your weight loss 0
-
I went from a B to an AA. They're never coming back. I lost every ounce of upper body fat, starting with those.
You ladies are lucky you had enough to start with... There is absolutely nothing wrong with a B cup. At least you fill out a bikini.0 -

When I first started training with my PT, within the first 8 weeks I had gone down a complete cup size and lost inches.
I was doing 7-8 hrs of cardio a week.
I started out as a 42 D
Went down to a 38 C0 -
PS: Pectoral exercises don't help. They make your boobs look weirder, not fuller. I have been doing pushups and pectoral exercises for some time, so I have built up a strong chest, and let me tell you... It does NOT make the boobs look good.0
