is it possible to lose the fat and keep the b00bs?

I think it depends on your genetic make up. I unfortunately am one who keeps my boobs. HATE them.

If your breasts are mostly fat, then you will lose them as you lose weight. If they are mostly mammary tissue (like mine), you will keep them.

I always lose mine when I drop weight and start exercising regularly *sigh*. Its a shame, because I am more "hour glass" shaped when I am heavier since my bust increases, and more of a "pear" at the lower (healthier) weights because I always lose my chest and my waist gets tiny (not complaining about the last bit!).

I think it depends on your body type. If your boobs didn't change much with weight gain, then they probably won't change much with weight loss. When I was a healthy weight, I was a C-cup. At 300+ lbs, I was a double D-cup. Now, I'm a D-cup, but I haven't reached my goals yet either. I fully expect to be back at a C-cup once I see a healthy weight again.

My bewbs are still DDDs, even after 40 pounds down.

mine are pretty much gone, but the muscles distract from them a bit. ha ha.

I went from a DD to a C. I wouldn't mind if they weren't so damn saggy. :grumble:

last year when i tried a weight loss supplement I lost 2 cup sizes (44 DDD to a 44D) and that is the ONLY place I lost weight. my breasts are still huge but after losing all the weight I want I hope they are about a C.

Not for me! Thinking that I will end up having some work done to make fuller again...drastic but I don't like what I see right now...

Im at 23% bf, they aren't AS perky or AS big as they used to be (I was a 38DD now Im a 36C), but im also 33 now. And they are still damn Amazing.

*hugs them*

do pushups. that's my plan.

It's all genetics. You either are destined to have a bigger bust size, or you aren't. I probably always will given that the women in my family even at low body fat percentages do. I have so far lost inches on the ribcage, but not across the bust.

My best friend on the other hand lost only like 5lbs and is at about a 17%BF and has nothing. Nada. She gains 5lbs and BAM up like three cup sizes haha. I guess that's just her body, though.

It's largely a question o f your genetics. To take another body part, some people lose their butts, others don't, no matter how much weight and fat they lose.

First On Last Off.

If you went: Fat -> Bigger boobs
Then you will probably lose the boob size gains.

If you had big boobs to start and then got fat, then you should retain your boobs as you lose weight.

This is actually not true.

I lost some boobage. Unfortunitley They are still decently sized but compared to how big they were before... they are little.

cmacphee3

Depends on your body type, I lose my boobs really fast sadly

knk1553

I lose weight and lose it all in my boobs first, well what little bit I had up there anyways. I just figured I can always buy a pair of boobs, I can't buy good health and the body fat % I want. I just buy the super padded bras from victorias secret and call it a day, those babies work wonders for us flad chested chicks!

XXXMinnieXXX

Mine are shrinking rapidly! Were an E now a C... :sad: suppose the proportions would be off if they had stayed the same though x

Queen_Adrock

I'd love to shrink up my bewbs. My hips are down 4.5 inches. The band around my bra is down 4 inches. Around the boobs, 1.5 inches. Ugh. Someday I will see my feet looking straight down. :pray:

right there with ya...I am HOPING mine shrink. The backache is not worth it and I want to be able to buy pretty bras in a color other than white beige or black!

www.figleaves.com -- I'm an H, and I'm wearing a red bra with dark red ivy stitching, and a bow between the cups! Super cute! Although it is a bit expensive, it's worth it.

And I've lost about a cup size since losing weight, but not enough to get me to where I should be. I have a consult for a reduction soon!
