    You can't pick where the fat come off. I would try to recall where the weight started to pack on when you gained it, and that might tell you at which point your excess baggage will shrink. Usually, the first place the fat was stored is the last place to let it go. So the best exercise is whatever you enjoy that will burn your fat.

    I think all the weight I've lost so far has come from my breasts :(

    All exercise may help as you need to reduce body fat which will include from your boobs.

    That being said it may just be genetics that you have big boobs!

    Aye! Most of the breast is fat! As one loses fat, the breasts (and accompanying back area) shrink.
    Best to do some chest exercises to lift them as you go!
    Best of luck!

    I lost 3 pounds off mine. After walking into a surgeons office, 500 stitches later, they are perfect. lol Honestly though, I have no regrets. I was in agony because they were so big, I couldn't jog, I couldn't stop getting rashes under them, bra straps had made dents in my shoulders and I looked ridiculous because I'm petite, otherwise. The pain was VERY minimal, I healed quickly and the very thin scarring is mostly under my boobs. It was totally worth it and I'd do it again I a heartbeat. Also, my insurance paid for all but my office copay of $25.00. After the surgery, I was able to exercise again and lost 40lbs.

    Bench press, Incline bench press, Dumbell press & incline, push-ups, cable cross-overs. As previously stated you cannot spot reduce but you can firm up the muscles and that will help.

    If you find something, let me know! I've lost 20+ pounds three times in my life and even if I only gain 10 back I go up another cup size. I lost 20 last summer and went from a d to a dd and gained 10 and now I'm a ddd. They're getting saggier now when I'm braless but I still fill my bra. Hopefully they'll get smaller!!

    If you have big boobs when your fat then you're going to have big boobs when you thinner. Will you lose inches off your chest when you lose weight of course but if you've always had big boobs, you have big boobs.

    Surgery is the only way to spot reduce.

    Lol!

    Diet is the only way and even then you are still at the mercy of your genetics.

    Thanks for the replies! I appreciate them all. Before I had kids I was a 36 C. After giving birth 2 times and having 3 pregnancies ( I had a misscarriage) here I am at a 42 DD almost DDD. I recently found a good sports bra to wear when I exercise and it has helped keep them from bouncing and it keeps them out of my way and they no longer touch the floor when I do push ups. If I could just shrink them, it would take about 6 lbs off of me. I thought about getting a breast reduction but when my cousin had hers reduced she could not lift her arms for 6 weeks and people had to feed her because she could not raise her arm enough to feed herself and she had really bad scarring. I would rather try to lose them naturally before I would consider reducing them again through surgery. I know most guys and chicks would say I am crazy for wanting to shrink them lol but when I walk into a room and they enter the room before the rest of me does then its time to do something about them. I am dieting and exercising and since Thanksgiving I have lost 33 lbs. It does not look like they are going to decrease just yet if at all. I will try some of the tips suggested here...except for the jumping jacks on the trampoline! lol If I cant enjoy my boobs then no one else should be able to enjoy them either! HAHAHAHA

    That would be called the exercise of futility because you can't pick where fat comes off your body unless you're willing to do surgery.

    You might just have large breasts. If losing weight doesn't make them smaller, you might need to consider surgery.

    Many women here complain about losing breast size when they lose overall fat. So just keep losing weight and you might see a reduction.

    Some people's breasts don't get smaller. No exercise can really change their size and whilst weight loss might make a difference, it also might not.

    Wearing a bra that fits properly makes large breasts a heck of a lot more manageable. Most women are wearing a bra that is too large on the band and too small on the cup. As far as Victoria's Secret were concerned, I'm a 38B... I was actually a 34E (at that point).
