Breasts...

I used to be hugeee until I had breast reduction surgery 3 years ago. I was so big that I don't even know what size I was and it looked ridiculous on my small boned, yet fat, body. I was always big breasted, even when I weighed less than 100lbs. I may have been a 38DDDD? Idk.. After surgery, which included a reduction and lift, I was a full 38C. Now that I've lost 40lbs, I am a small 36C. So far everything is staying where it's supposed to and I hope they don't shrink anymore! Even if they do, I have no regrets. I'm so much more comfortable and it's soooo much easier to exercise!
Good luck! I hope you reach your goals and stay 'perky'!

Well I'm really pleased that I have gone down 2 cup sizes since starting my weight loss! Not sure if they're anymore "perky" I don't think so, not yet anyway, but I live in hope!! :laugh:

I am a 38ddd and the "ddd" part never changes. The "38" part has gone done and back up as I stay on track with dieting and exercising, but the cup size remains the same. I do chest exercises and cardio and everything.

What does it matter? The magic of bras will keep everyone else in the dark anyway.

Haha. True, but I see them and so does my SO!!

Yes plus when you wear a bathing suit or a strapless bra the "magic of bras" doesn't really apply.

Female problems

I started at 189+ and am now down to about 157. My boobs have gone down from 44" to 38" (at the biggest part). My cup size went down from spilling out of a DD to comfortably fitting in a D cup. My boobs have always been uncomfortably large so I welcome the change in size. all though they weren't the perkiest to begin with, I think they've maintained. In the end, don't let your boobs stress you out too much...

Hey Ladies!

I am just starting out on my weight loss journey but one of my biggest concerns (I am sure my SO is as well) are not having perky breasts when it is all said and done. Anyway, looking for ladies that are around my stats to let me know how their weight loss went (as in breasts went first, last or not at all) and how they feel about their perkiness.

I do plan on doing chest exercises to keep them up to par as much as possible though! Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

Is a DD cup considered "perky?" I always think of a B cup when I think of perky. :laugh: (I laugh, but it's true!)

I think it just depends on the person and the set of boobs. lol I get what you are saying. I wonder the same thing. I am 5'4, currently at 176, 40 years old, 38DD. At one point about five years ago I was up to 206 and 40F. Since I have been in the neighborhood weight of where I am now they are the same as they were when I weighed 175 before. I have nice breasts that sit better than most for large natural ones. lol But I know where you are coming from. We all want to look good naked. The importance of how I see myself and what I think hubby sees is more important than anyone else's opinion. Just do what you can with exercises and go from there. I wish you luck!

enjoy them while you have them. cause they're going to get destroyed.

I am 5'3". At my heaviest I was 140 pounds/22-24% body fat and a 36D (DD in some styles). I am now 116 pounds/13.5-14% body fat, wearing a 32D. Had to get measured at VS, so I'm pretty confident in my reported sizes.

Lol no offense but VS is the last place I would trust for reported sizes. They will tell you a size that they stock, they would tell me all the time 34DD when in reality I'm a 32F, which they don't carry.

According to VS, I'm a 34DD myself. I will definitely go to a different store and try on a 32F. That is a good tip as VS has very few sizes indeed. Thanks!

I would definitely recommend getting fitted at somewhere other than VS, somewhere that carries name-branded bras--I find that VS bras run VERY small... I've been measured at two independent bra fitters (one in RI, one in MI)--I measure out at a 34DD in bras from a couple of different manufacturers--and I cannot even pretend to smoosh into a 34DD at VS.

Well it's okay then, because I like VS bras and have had no trouble finding bras with them. At least not until I measured in at a 32D. Now I have to order them off their site, but I still find plenty that I like. It's the only place I get my bras from, so it isn't a big deal.

I still have 25 lbs I would like to lose so we will see how much more of my chest will go. I really don't mind though, I put it this way: Be overweight and have big boobs or be fit and healthy and have smaller boobs. I'll take the second one any day And my boyfriend totally understands this so I'm very lucky lol ;p

If they fit, go for it! I think they carry the cutest bras, but their 34DDs do NOT fit me like a 32F does. It is all about getting the right size.

Does the band fit nice and snug? That is where I had so many problems. The cup size on the 34DD was right, but the band was too big even on the tightest notch and would lift up in the front. So now I spend lots more money and have less "young" styles to choose from.

Mistyblu08

mine are a 38D now - the last time I lost weight lol I was a 36c and went down to a small 34b.....hoping this time to at least grab the C letter and keep with wtloss but my SO says he doesnt care "its the nipple I like" lol so there you go ladies ....its not all about the globe and its southern drift :laugh:

SafioraLinnea

Loss of the ladies was my most significant concern when starting my weight loss journey, particularly when considering that I had 60 pounds to lose. I let it keep me from working towards my goal. I've been genetically gifted with fantastic breasts but I don't want them to disappear when I lose weight! I would love to drop a cup size -- from a very full DD to a comfortable D, purely because it is easier to purchase clothing that fits my chest -- but I really don't want to lose more than that.

In the end though, I would rather be healthy with significantly smaller, potentially saggy or deflated breasts than to stay where I was at physically and emotionally.

Went only from a 38C to a 36C after losing 35 lbs. I'd actually say my breasts are more "uplifted" (lol) and they are perkier in general now, although not exactly overflowing in that C cup anymore I am starting to notice some loose skin, but hopefully I can bounce back. I've also lost weight really slowly, I average about 3 lbs per month. So maybe that has something to do with not losing cup size?

SPNLuver83

stats don't matter. it depends if your boobs are made from fat or from mammary tissue.

if it's fat, they will get smaller. If it's tissue, they will not.

You'll have the same cup size only if you're very lucky, and no. I'm sorry. No more perky breasts.

Last year, I went from 200+ to 157 and when it was all said and done, after losing over 50 lbs, the girls were cute and round, but a little deflated and sad. Even though I was only 23.

However, although I have a lot of work to do to even get back to 157 again, I plan to do it anyway just with more pec exercises along the way. All the while I know that once I get back into my size 6 jeans and dresses, I'll probably need a decent boob lift.

As far as bra size, I went from a 40C to a 34DD. So there's that to look forward to... But seriously, boob jobs are relatively inexpensive and they make your lady parts look younger longer (if you don't plan to breastfeed)

When it's all said and done this is the way i see it: Nice, round, perky boobs < tight, cute little body that I'm not ashamed of.
All my other body parts will not be sacrificed for bosom beauty.

38DD down to a 34C after dropping 80 pounds...very saggy now, but whatever, lol.

gauchogirl

Who needs a bra when you can tuck them into your belt?

just kidding (no I'm not).

Seriously, if they're still perky, you're still young. Short of surgery, they're going to do whatever they're going to do, and while chest exercises help support the muscle behind the boobs, it can't do much for the boobs themselves. Them being just fat and all. Eventually, most of us are just happy with a great bra. And an astigmatic partner. In the dark.

Good luck!

My breasts will never be the same after losing weight lol. They're not QUITE old lady boobs... but they're not the boobs of a 22 year old

I was a B cup until I was 28 then woke up one day with a chest I did not ask for. I am a 38 DD which is where I've been for years now and even with the weight loss, including chest exercises, they are the same. If I could ditch them with someone who wants them I absolutely would. I think everyone is different and only time will tell what happens (sorry for the cliche). Tonight for the first time ever, my husband mentioned that my breasts are getting smaller. My bra does not agree but if it's true, this girl is jumping for joy!!! If you do start losing them please let me know what you are doing. thanks

yummymummy65

Unfortunately that's one of the things that go first. When I was 180lbs, I wore a 40C. At my lightest of 118 lbs, I was a 34A. Thank God for Miraculous Bras!

Allison22451

cant help ya.
im almost 40 and so are my boobs.
trust me, it shows.
they dont call it a MIRACLE BRA for nothing.
my boobs look like a pair of knee-highs with an orange at the bottom.
i have scary national geographic boobies. only things im missing to complete the look is ear and neck expanders.
im seriously considering having them fitted with tap shoes. might as well earn me some money while they are down there.

my advice, stay 23. .

birdieaz

Mine went from a 36D then 34D and now they seem to be holding at 34C *crosses fingers*
I really don't mind, C's look bigger on 120lbs than D's did at 160lbs. Plus for most of my twenties I was barely a B.
