CALLING ALL BUSTY GIRLS

andreachirillo

I lost 65 lbs and my cup size went up as the band size went down...unfortunately for me, the girls are not shrinking with the rest of the body.

OMG! I sooooo have this same issue. Pleeeease tell me what sports bra y'all are wearing. I am being active for the first time since getting a Fitbit and nothing holds these boobs in place.

Any brand advice or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Ladies, some of you will lose them and most of you won't. Just embrace the girls, they are yours, God given. Surgery is ridiculous as far as I am concerned unless for back pain.

Ladies, I presently wear an H cup (that's 5 D's). The difference in size between a D cup and an H cup, is the same as between an A cup and a DD. I have recently visited a plastic surgeon to see about a breast reduction. I told him that if possible I'd like to be a full C. He said I might end up still being a D, and I can accept that. Wish me luck that the insurance company ok's it.

BTW, Wacol makes excellent bras with great support for us, the generously endowed women. They're expensive, but they're worth it (around $65. Each)

The Plastic Surgeon told me that if I wanted to lose some weight before the surgery, that would be fine. He said if I lost some after surgery, the breasts have a tendency to sag. But just try to go to a weight that I can maintain. And btw, I have grooves in my shoulders from the weight of my breasts, and have arthritis in my neck and lower back from carrying this load. It's not fun.

This is something I've considered for years, so fingers crossed that it will happen and be successful.

As a guy, I have similar problems--I've never been able to wear clothes off the rack.

If a shirt fits my shoulders and chest, the sleeves are 6" too long and hangs damn near to my knees. If a pair of pants fits my thighs and massive *kitten*, they are 4" too big around the waist.

I recently started getting custom shirts made--should have done it long ago. Bespoke, FTW.

Girls are definitely not shrinking for me, either. Still a D after 80+lbs gone and have to wear a sports bra and a sport tank to smoosh them in. And for me, mine look bigger because my gut shrank lol!

NancyG55

I have the same problem. The best I can do is try and get a minimizer bra, but even that doesn't solve the problem.

ashlinmarie

I'm wearing a champion from Target. I usually wear a tank top with a shelf bra too but I don't need it to keep em in place.

barbaramitchell101

I am 4"11", 61 years old...wore a B cup when I was 10, and always big breasted...two years aog when I started my weight losss journey I wore a 42DD...I didn't lose much up top, after 37 lbs, only having to move one notch on the bra closing...most of my weight came off below the belly....went from an XXL on top to a XL, and don't know about the pants yet as I have not shopped yet, but I can pull them off without unbottoning them...LOL...my pants 2 years ago were a 20W

I buy the Playtex 16 hour bra and I like the fit...have for years bought this, as I usually find bras to be uncomfortable.....

tanniew78

Lets all buy Genie Bras and get it over with. Them babies lift, tuck, flatten and give you an instant reduction. :laugh:

Seriously though, I know what you mean. My actual BODY size is like a 2x but I have to buy a 5x just to accommodate the "ladies" as I call them.

Janelle173

Before, when I was really fit, I was still a "Large" C cup. I had gained weight, they, of course got bigger, but when I lost weight, they Still stayed Large C, Small D. I had to do the same, always get a medium shirt to accommodate the tatas, instead of the Small shirt...

Or, I would push em all into a sports bra, for the awesome "one giant boob" look, and be able to -kind of- get into the small shirt that way. lol. Fit my tummy but super tight on the tata's still.

Now, I am overweight after pregnancy....a lot. The boobs are pretty large and in charge...but i can not wait to have the problem again of needed a medium shirt instead of a small to accommodate my tatas...Since right now I have to wear like a 1x and my belly is poking out about the same amount as my tatas! lol

Ah, Busty girl problems!!

rugbyphreak

I lost 50 pounds and went from a DD to a DDD because I finally got correctly sized... Unfortunately, I don't see any end to my "girls" in sight.

I usually end up wearing two bras to work out. I wear a kind of grungy underwire bra on the bottom, then a "high impact" champion sports bra over that. If I'm doing anything super active, like a boot camp, I wear a compression shirt over there. I don't want any movement!

DamnImASexyBitch

Same issue. Lost 30lbs and 2 inches in band size, but didn't lose a thing in cup size ( depending on manufacture I'm a D/DD ). I was hoping I could eventually get into a C. I don't forsee that happening. I have a goal of 40 more lbs to lose.

runningfataway

You're blessed! I wish I was busty.

Cowgirl_Jody

I love Victoria secret sports bras, expensive but worth it and super cute hot pink ones. I always do chest compressions every day at least 50 to tighten chest up while you lose the weight. Makes a big difference

phyllisbobbitt

:sad: :sad: when i weigh 104 my bust was 32 d. now i am a 36 ddd. i think that this is a problem with many woman. what i am afraid of when i finish my losing weight will they still be perky??

MelissaE27

I have lost 100 pounds and mine hasnt budged none at all .........40ff's.. im hoping my last 50pounds they will get the idea.lol . id love to be a c cup.

itsinthemiddle

I love this thread! It's about time the busty girls talk about our dilemmas....When I was younger, I was a 36C at my lowest weight. That was OK. Now, after age and kids, I seem to be stuck at a 40D. For a somewhat short (5'4") and active women, it's a drag. Yes, I've discovered that tops/dresses must be bought in a larger size because of them, so I've opted for medium size stretchy fabrics now...and I look much better in my clothes because now my true waist size shows. When I reach my goal of 135 I plan to have a breast reduction....B cup is my dream. To go braless or stapless or wear anything off the rack is within reach!!!!

devynmariee

same problem! Hopefully when I reach my gw I will see some kind of change.

THIS!
I've started the C25K a couple of times recently and these girls just don't want to be tamed! I'm a 38 D-DD and it is painful sometimes and a big part of why I can't actually keep at it. I have tried wearing two sports bras, a regular bra and a sports bra, or wrapping with ace bandages and then putting on the sports bra. They still just bounce away.

lucy5599

I have lost 50 lbs and my band size went from a 38 to a 34 but I still need a DDD cup size. Everyone loses different! Am too hoping they shrink some with the last 20 lbs.

libbymcbain

Hi I've gone from 38E to 36D. So far I have only lost 28 pounds, but due to a leg injury, a lot of my exercise has been upper body. Push ups, planks, weighted chest flys and rows. I have also been filtering water befor eI drink it, or drinking bottled water, as I heard this can cut the amount of hormones you consume via water.

melbatoast917

This post should have been titled "I need attention... and I have BOOBS!" smh

Do real work and your boobs will shrink. I was a DD and now I am a D (I don't consider that busty, I consider that normal). Lift weights, do pushups and they will shrink.

battlewithmyself

Congrats on the 40 lbs - you look great!

Even at my lowest weight of 134 pounds/5"7" I was still a D... It's just the way I am built - I have grown to accept it, find clothes that flatter it, and embrace my assets (there are certainly worse ways to carry your weight!)

Erikalynne18

With my newest measurements.... in dress sizes I am a xl in the chest, and medium in the waist, and a smallin the hips. My butt disappears! HAHAHA... So yeah, understood!

edit: if someone knows excercises to shrink them a bit, please message me!

Surgery is ridiculous as far as I am concerned unless for back pain.

This statement is ridiculous and offensive. I was a D until I was 19. I had my surgery at 23, and I'd only been a DDD for 4 years, yet it did irreversible damage to my spine, causing me pain everyday. I should've had it years before it became medically necessary, but I couldn't have known that then.

Moreover, I endured horrible daily sexual harassment, culminating in a sexual assault at my high school, because I went from a B to a D in the space of 2 months, on a 5' 3.5" 118 pound frame. I needed the surgery to stop hating myself. I needed the surgery to be able to trust men.

Get over yourself, and keep your baseless judgements to yourself.

ThePilotsGirl

I can't believe all the negative crap I'm hearing about our boobs! I do have big ones, I'm not against shrinkage, but for the most part they've stayed the same. I love me for me and that includes my Tatas. Ladies lets embrace our natural graces!! Get your clothes taken in so it fits perfect if need be! you just have to find the right products. Don't be afraid to look at the small sizes in "plus size" often they accommodate larger chests. Love your body, love your boobs big or small

RunningMs

I have a large pair as well. I usually range from a DD to E cup. They do make any sort of high impact activity a bit difficult and as I have lost weight they have not gotten any smaller....just saggier! I have recently switched to sports bras by Moving Comfort; which has been a great choice, they do not bounce at all and I can do jumping jacks whithout getting knocked out!

FitMissVicky

Two pieces of advice for busty girls who need to keep 'em contained when running:

1) find out what size you really are. Most women are wearing the wrong size. Go to good bra store (NOT Victoria's Secret) and have someone who knows what they are doing size you properly.

2) Invest in a good sports bra. Yes, it might cost a bit more, but it is totally worth it, especially if it helps you feel comfortable about being active. I like the Shock Absorber or the Freya sports bras. They really work well. I am a 36F and yes, I run. I even did the Spartan Race in my Shock Absorber and lived to tell the tale

On the general point of boob loss - I was a 38F when I started and am a 36F now after my initial 20lb weight loss. I hate my top-heaviness but I am trying to embrace the idea of tailoring. I like eshakti.com for tops and dresses - you can send them your measurements and the styles are really flattering

crazybookworm

As the weight goes, the boobs will go, too! I was a 40 DD and I am now a 38 B or a small C.
