    Mine shrunk 2 cup sizes but I'd take small boobs over being overweight any day.

    I've lost 20lb, what usually happens is you go down a band size and up a cup size. So lets say your a 36C, after losing weight your most likely gonna be a 34D

    I really think it depends on the person. And personally, I rather mine get a little smaller. Although if it's just the measuerments that go down, that's fine too.

    I had a breast reduction 2 months ago, because I could never lose weight in by breast! Best decision I have ever made. I am a 40c/d now. I was 38ddd, so I'm very happy!

    I'm 134 lbs and a C cup at this moment and i want to lose 19 pounds.. will my breast get smaller? is there anything to prevent that from happening? because i'm very happy with my breast size and i want to keep it that way :))

    Depends on whether you have breasts made mostly of fat or mostly of mammary tissue. What is your body type?

    I'm an hourglass and no matter my weight, my breasts remain the same size.

    I'm the same way. I'm a 38DD. They have gotten a little bit smaller since losing weight, but not much. I wish they'd shrink some more.
    Mine went up a cup size with my pregnancy and never went down again, even though I lost the weight pretty quickly after. :-( They were too big for my taste already, but after all these years I guess I've learned to live with them.

    So, they got bigger once but otherwise have been exactly the same size whether I was a size 3 or a size 12. Blah.

    Mine went right back to normal after having my son. When I gain weight they get a little bit larger, but I don't think anyone else would notice.

    I get so sick of carrying them around. And I have bad posture because if I stand up straight I feel like I'm pointing my rack at everyone. :angry:

    I was a ballerina, so my posture is naturally really good. And while I don't really dance anymore, I do a lot of yoga (or I used to). When I was 19, I took a job waitressing at a small, family-owned place where a friend of mine worked.

    The daughter was there my first day and I did everything she said and the best I could and she fired me. She said they just didn't really need me, but she told my friend that all I did was walk around sticking my boobs out all day. Jealous much? Geez!

    But I'd rather have a straight back than that job, so ... lol It hasn't been an issue since.

    Your cup size depends on the difference between your rib cage measurement and the measurement across the widest part of your breasts. Some people lose their breasts, others just in the ribs. Doing pushups and core exercises are really great. Tone and lose weight, it really helps. While I was losing weight last time, I lost weight mostly right over my ribs and upper stomach. I lost 6 inches around my waist and ribs while 2 around my breasts.

    I've lost 15 so far and I've noticed mine are getting smaller. I don't want to buy new bras at the moment b/c they are expensive and I want to wait until I get closer to my goal weight. I'm using it on the tightest setting and wearing my smallest fit bra for now. I've been a D since having children and was a B before. I figure I will at least go back to a C when I was smaller after my 1st child. I got back to my normal weight then and was a size bigger than before kids.

    lmao, people can be so ridiculous.

    It's actually been one of my goals lately to improve my posture, because my neck and shoulders suffer. It's a hard thing to do though. I've been slouching for at least 20 years. :(

    How tall are you? Because your goal weight is pretty teeny-tiny unless you're really short.

    Nineteen pounds isn't that much weight, but losing 19 pounds from normal body weight to ultra lean is different than 19 pounds from a little overweight to normal weight.

    i'm 5'4" tall i think i am short..

    They are usually the first to go. I went down a cup size and had to throw away a ton of nice bras. Still have a ways to go so I am sure by the time I am done they will be non existent! I have quite a bit more weight on me though. It is totally worth having smaller boobs to feel good in my clothes!

    I always gain and lose in the breast area. If you lose them when you lose the 19lbs and you are unhappy...get breast implants, I did:smile:

    think it can be different for everyone, I have actually gone up in size. I think that some people are just more likely to get smaller breasts from weight loss. Although I know quite a lot of people who have lost weight have had a smaller waist measurement, but have gone up in the actual cup size.

    It really just depends. I've lost over 100 pounds and my breasts have basically stayed the same size (went from a 42DD to a 36F, which SOUNDS bigger, but really isn't lol, just maybe LOOKS bigger on my smaller frame - but for real, they are kind of in my way hah)

    Honestly, being healthy should be the most important thing. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Yes. But, that's not that bad of a deal. You're also losing all those side saddles that come out of the sides of your bra. The tradeoff is a curvier new you and the new size will look balanced with the removal of the extras. :happy: There are tons of advantages to less on top - easier to run, do pushups, fit into outfits without falling out, and etc. I'd focus on the health aspect...that's what's important.

    P.S. A 'B' is pretty nice too...not that small...

    it is likely as you are already a small weight there cant be many places for it to drop off surely? but either way we all end up in proportion so even if you drop in cup size you will still be even with the rest of your body so if you really do wanna lose more weight i wouldnt worry too much about it xx

    just read your profile and saw that you are only 18.. you havent finished growing yet either try not to worry about it and you are a small weight already if you really dont want them to change to keep the little extra x

    There are a lot of factors that can affect the size of your breasts and whether they get smaller during/after weight loss.

    Firstly, the initial size will be made up of 2 main elements - breast tissue & fat. The amount of breast tissue won't change when you lose weight, but clearly the amount of fat will. It's also the breast tissue growth that's the primary cause of growth during pregnancy/breastfeeding.

    Secondly, your cup size depends a lot on your band size, and as others have said, dropping a band size without the breasts changing size in real terms will actually result in an increase in cup size, while if you lose fat off the breast and drop a band size, you'll end up with a the cup size staying the same, while the band size drops.

    The only real guarantee is that you'll need new bras when you're done, because either band or cup size (or both) will have changed, so all your current bras will fit badly.

    Unfortunately, its more than likely you will lose your boobage!!

    I've lost 28.5lb so far. 9cm from my actual breast and 4.5cm from underneath (basically the bra band)

    I've gone from a 34E in January to a 32C currently.

    I have to say, I miss them.... :cry: :cry: :cry: But, it's all part and parcel of weight loss - boobs are made up of a lot of fat!

    YOGA! Do enough of it, you won't be able to help but stand up straight.
