Im scared for my boobs. I don't have much now so I can't afford to lose any in the next 33 pounds.0

Chest presses make a difference. Building muscle is almost as awesome as an underwire bra.
Most definitely! Build up your muscles is like getting a lift! I've gone from a 38DDDD to a 32DDD. Don't laugh...I'm happy they're getting 'smaller'. I've breast fed 2 so the slight deflation is definitely there but at least they're not pointing down...yet.)
I have definitely seen a difference since I started lifting heavier weights. Just make sure to work ALL the muscles! They work together with the lifting!0 -
I started at 38DD, and am down to a 36-38D now.....I'm really hoping there is hope for me, haha....0

Dumb men... might as well have rung the cattle bell with this topic! lol
I went from DDD to a D. I like the size now, but I agree on the shape issue. Its been a year, and although I think they are "shaping up" a little from lots of strength training, They will never be full like they were before. My skin cant shrink that much! :laugh:
But Id rather have what I have today (Boobs and body and HEALTH) then the old ones, fat and unhealthy

*note to self* When and if I have children....don't breastfeed.
Im sorry, i cant help but defend your unborn child/children on this one!!! Being able to breastfeed is a gift, dont let vanity get in the way of that.
Coming from someone who struggled with 10+ years of infertility and adopted, I WISH it was something I could have done.0 -
I am, and always have been an A cup. They went to a C when I nursed my kids for a year each! (yeah me!) Then right back down to flat :sad:
I started lifting like a man 8 months ago..(literally went up to the biggest guy in the gym and told him that I would be his new lifting partner!) One body part a day. I have learned so so much. Today was chest day and I will tell you that I still have a good pump. I have built up muscle underneath my little girls, so they DEFINITELY have more fullness since I have started lifting. Chest presses, chest fly's---different benches (incline, decline, flat)
Having said that they are still a little deflated............going for a consultation with a PS next week! If anyone has any advice!!! PLEASE send me a message!! Thanks in advance:flowerforyou:0 -
More than a handful is a waste - apparently.
^^^ what she said!0 -
Right on with the breastfeeding = gift. It was the hardest/most selfless thing I have ever done.....and I am so happy to have provided my boys with that. That comment was not well thought out.........I'm positive you are a WONDERFUL mother without that!*note to self* When and if I have children....don't breastfeed.

Breastfeeding was one of the best things I did. It was such a great experience. My boobs were crap after my first pregnancy I went from 115 to 165 so they stretched like crazy. They have stretch marks all over them. I will say though mine went up a cup size every pregnancy (3) and I breastfed the last one and to this day I am still a d even with 15 pounds lost. I just got measured last week. I don't want to lose any of my boobs though because I LOVE them I feel like they are my best feature. I will deal with it though if they go as I lose more weight.0

More than a handful is a waste - apparently.
My husband always used to say, "More than a mouthful is a waste." Course, now I have several mouthfuls.
That doesn't quite sound the way I meant it,0 -
I'm lucky, mine never got smaller.. in fact they look bigger cause my waist is smaller. yay
But really, lift weights. It helps a ton and you won't be sorry.0 -
I went from DD to B. And they are disgusting. They look like if you cut and quartered a pig, slaggy skin. Doesn't that make me desirable. Anyway, I still have 30 pounds to lose, I keep losing inches off my chest. I can't imagine they will come back after that. I used to have such beautiful boobs! Anyway, I'm getting them fixed.
I lift weights and do chest presses and pushups like mad. No difference 0 -
I went from Pushing out of a 38DD to a sad 36B
Some of my girlfriends have come up with names for our boobs. The favorites...
boob sacks
deflated balloons
socks with rocks
I will be honest, some day I will have a breast job. Nothing huge, just a lift and fluff. I have noticed though since I did more weights and focused more on the chest, they are looking a little better

according to the Fan 590 Radio station every morning there's a huge problem with men having overdeveloped male breast tissue.
"Men have breasts. No big deal. But sometimes breast tissue overdevelops and takes on the appearance of female breasts. The focus on these so-called moobs is a fairly recent phenomenon, perhaps spurred on by the rise of obesity, perhaps by the media's increasing willingness to focus on and critique male celebrity appearance. And because of all this attention, a man who carries some extra weight in his upper chest area may feel more self-conscious than ever."
I have big moobs!0 -

AHEM! I am not against women that breast feed and I do not chastise them for their choices, so why do women who breast feed or think you should breast feed feel they have every right to shove it down peoples throats that the only GOOD option is that of breast feeding? That by not breast feeding you are not helping your child, your are in fact hurting your child.
I was not breast fed, I have had no major illnesses, no asthma, nothing genetic, and my mother smoked through her pregnancy. (I do not agree with her choice, but i cannot deny that her babies are healthy.. My brothers are both tall, lean, and without any physical complications as well.) By the way I have only had one case of the flu since the age of 10, and it was when I started working in nursing. Then I only had it ONCE.
My son, he's ten, he wasn't breast fed. He is 110% for growth, and has the physique of a little man already. He is 100% healthy, if not healthier then MANY breast fed babies.
My daughter is seven weeks, I didn't breast feed and I am tired of people preaching to me about how I should have. She is also in higher level of growth, right now 120%. My fiance is an advocate for me telling people who say "OMGZ you didn't breast feed? YOUR GF IS THE DEVIL!" I had "centering" during my pregnancy, and when they asked me why I wasn't breast feeding (because they also tried to make me feel like the evil uncaring mother-to-be as well) I said
I don't want to go back to work and have to run to a sink to let my boobs down. I don't want to be the only one able to take care of my daughter, I don't want to have to pump every two or four hours a day. I didn't buy implants to watch my body stretch beyond the level of recognition and leave me with "bottle boobies" after only four years of having them. I don't want to deal with mastitis. I don't want to be like my mother was who tried breast feeding and ended up with a gassy baby, who would have had to be on a special very expensive diet just to breast feed. I don't want to find out my daughter will only drink from the nipple because then what do I do when I go back to work? I have already spent 40 weeks unable to drink, unable to eat certain foods, and unable to be away from my daughter, I love her and do not feel like opting for formula makes me less of a mom. (Yes I realize you can drink alcohol as long as you wait a few hours and pump).
You know what they said? "I see you've thought this through"
MY VANITY? PFFT MY BODY. MY BABY. How dare someone tell me what to do with my body, and what is good for my baby. Sorry you didn't have the chance to be given the option, but do not force your choice down other peoples throats. That's as bad as saying abortion isn't the right of the mother, isn't a right at all, or is ONLY the right of the mother. See what I mean?
*steps off soap box*
Now for boobs. I was a full b small c before baby number one. A not so full b after, and went to "nipples on a rib cage" when I lost weight and worked out. I did the push up bras and everything and they did help, but in 2008 I bought myself a set and would never go back. I am now a 32D and when I weigh more am a 32DD.
After baby number two they are still very nice, not as perfect as they were, they actually look much more natural now my fiance says. So that's cool. I would never go back and change my mind, and am very happy with my decisions.0 -
I've gone from a 42DD to a 36F. Basically the boobs themselves have stayed close to the same size, maybe a tad smaller, although to me they feel like they look a lot smaller in relation to the rest of me because I apparently have a VERY wide rib cage. Boo. They are definitely saggier, but I am old, I've lost over 100 pounds, and I breastfed two kids (but, to put it in perspective, I was 50 pounds heavier than I am now and a 36C when I got pregnant with my first, so, in reality, my boobs are a LOT bigger than I started out with haha). lol. I do notice that my nipples don't seem to be pointing at my feet anymore. That's encouraging.... :laugh:0

well after losing 21lbssince jan 1st 2013 , my youngest turned a year old march 9th my boobs recently went down a size ,not the same I miss my small perky boobs before my daughters 19 months apart ,went from a b to a c to a d ,now to a c again Im okay with being smaller but not the rest.Oh well thats what bras are for.*note to self* When and if I have children....don't breastfeed.
NO. this only happens when women let them all hang out all the time which is convenient for breastfeeding but not required. (some women do this who don't breastfeed and get those same unwanted results.) nowadays nursing bras are very supportive and also very transformer like to allow quick access and support for the one not being used the one being used is supported the whole time. this means you get to have nice ones after. research this stuff online. bras at all times, that's what works because otherwise the ligaments stretch and don't come back but everything else can & does bounce back. so all you have to do is keep that weight contained/supported. you'll be fine. invest in good bras with the money you save on formula. cancels out.0 -
Lifting tightens the girlies up nice and perky like. Only lost half a cup size though.0
-
I didn't breastfeed either and my son is 100% healthy and the doctor says he's as smart as a 3 year old and he's only 2
I couldn't breastfeed because of medication I was taking but I wouldn't have anyway.0 -
Mine have most definitely improved since I have incorporated heavy lifting. However, I am worried that they will go down another cup size (I was a 32FF, now I am a 32E).
I have already decided that once I reach my goal weight, I will have some of the fat removed (most likely) from my inner thighs and placed in my breasts. They can do that now.
Edit: I lost ~ 125 lbs, and went from a 44H to a 32E.0 -
When I began my weight loss journey I was a natural full C. I lost 35 lbs and went down to a B. They were floppy at first, but they then became really perky. I guess the skin tightened up. I read that it takes 6 mos for your skin to adjust to weight loss. Anything after that, you can expect is your look unless you change it through building muscle. I know that lifting perks my boobs up, bc i have tried it a few times and when I stop, they droop again....No men allowed.
For all you weight-journey ladies who have lost 2 or more cup sizes along the way, have you found that your boobs ever readjust to their new small size? I was between a C and a D after having my son, and when I stopped nursing they shrank down to a sad saggy A.
The size didn't bother me, it's the shape I wasn't happy with. But lately I've notices they're starting to perk up a little. Can I expect them to keep tightening up as I lose more weight and tone all over my body? Is there hope for my "girls"?
Anyone have success stories of going from big knockers to cute little bee stings?
Pics would be nice, But I think for the sake of the mods I'll just have to take your words for it.
for the most part they perked and stayed there. Still, I was unhappy with the shape and asked a doctor to help me lift them and make them fuller. He gave me implants. They are over the muscle and people don't know they are fake for whatever reason. No one has ever known.0 -

I agree with the above, breastfeeding is the most wonderful gift you can give your child.
That aside, being pregnant is what changes the breasts and the tissues, whether you breastfeed or not, from the hormones that are produced during pregnancy so you can carry and deliver a baby. So never getting pregnant or changing weight or muscle mass would keep your boobs the same, otherwise they change as you do!0 -

Obviously you have some "open wounds" on the topic of breast feeding. For one, I DID NOT breastfeed my son (obviously) and he is as healthy as a 4 year old can be. And I dont know how you got all that out of two sentences one of which was about me the other one saying it was a GIFT.
Besides, the gal who originally posted the comment sounded as if she was scared to breastfeed simply because other women's experiences with loss of breast shape and size. I wasnt attacking anyone... you can bring those claws in now.0 -
can we stop quoting this rant? above^ . i purposely ignored it because it doesn't deserve a reply it's just someone who got told too many times and is now suffering from a guilty conscience which there are apparently not enough words for. do you really care if she breastfeeds her kids or not, they aren't yours? I don't. her kids her choice. my kids my choice. done. let's get back to how to fix/prevent saggy boobies. bio oil anyone?0
