    If they were big before you gained weight they shouldn't change too much.

    This.

    I had a reduction augmentation 10 years ago and they came back. I think it's destiny, really.

    My heighest weight was 225 when I was 9 mos pregnant.
    I started MFP at 198 and am now 174, with 24lbs to go to 1st goal.
    I haven't lost cup size, but I've lost around.

    I'm nearly 8 mos post-partum, I run 3x a week, negligible chest exercises and I'm still perky and a DD.

    It's a crapchute.

    But -- I do think it's safe to say since you're on a weightloss journey that you'd be happier with smaller breasts if they come with a smaller you?

    Meh. Just work out for health and wellness and see where you end up. I wish I was losing them while pounding the pavement, but it's just not in the cards for me.

    What does it matter? The magic of bras will keep everyone else in the dark anyway. :)

    Hyperfang, isn't everyone's goal to look good NAKED? I know mine is! Can't keep a bra on every moment for the rest of my life. :grumble:

    I think that after dropping 75lbs, its a little hard to NOT look good naked.

    You'd think so, but I've lost 100 and still don't look quite right. :noway:

    I started at 183.6 lbs in April so I am at 175.6 lbs now but my chest has gotten bigger. I was in a 36/38 C and I tried on a bra today which fit perfect and it is a 36 D!!!!! :noway:

    you'll probably lose them. full chested women (ie larger band size) seem to lose their boobs more so than full -busted (small band/large breasts). and they might even be perky

    i started at 5'5 224 pounds as 38G... I've lost in the rib cage but lost nothing in cup size. so since cup size is determined by the difference between your band and bust measurements, i've actually gone up in cup size after losing 30 pounds (i'm now 34I ). i'f i'm lucky i'll actually lose 2-3 cup sizes by the time i reach my goal weight, otherwise it would really suck to be 30KK or whatever :laugh:

    Oh a GREAT sports bra is definitely key!

    I love the Enell Brand. They are FUGLY but they work super well. I'm on my third size and if I lose any more boob I'll have to find a new brand :( because they don't come smaller than I currently am.

    Whenever I lose weight, my boobs are the first things to shrink. According to the scale, my weight hasn't changed in 3 months of working out, but my boobs are definitely smaller. My bras are hollow. Very depressing :(

    i'm close 5 5(1/2)
    SW 210
    CW 175
    started at a 38 DD (i've had a kid) but at DD, they can only be so perky to start with... ;)
    currently 36-38 D depending on the bra. they look about the same. ;)
    i wear a bra 110 percent of the time.... i wear an underwire to bed, and have since i was about 14!! i can't let the dogs off the chain.... or they wander the yard!!! hehe
    i would say just do the best you can to keep them supported and chest excercises, as well as weights will be helpful, but that's about all you can hope for.
    if they get saggy, when you reach your goal, call the plastic surgeon, they can hook you up!

    I understand your concerns...and my husband felt the same way... I'm going to be real and to the point. I too am 5'4 and my starting weight was 186lbs and my girls were a full 38DD. Now I'm a deflated 32DD....I kid you not they will go...The only advice I can give regarding that is begin with strength training from the get go....don't wait! But if your breast are what's concerning you from losing weight and changing your life than you need to work on your mindset. When you lose the weight, increase your flexibility, improve your overall strength, have wicked stamina you will be a brand new woman...and your husband will enjoy the benefits...trust me. So yes the girls may go a but...you will be a brand new woman who feels fantastic....and the sex will be fa nominal. You will be able to fit into many outfit where the breast are now getting into the way....ie lingerie But in the end it's your choice....Good Luck!

    Mine don't go away....at least not as much as I would like them too!!! No matter how much I talk mean to them they stay around.

    I started my journey around 197 and was around a 40ish H (I was up to a J for a while but I was nursing my daughter so I don't count that too much).

    I'm around 167 now and am between a 38 F and 38 DDD (depending on the bra style I'm almost completely a DDD). I'm hoping they will go down but my hubby is completely supportive of me getting a reduction (with a lift) when I'm at my goal weight. I would love to be a D.....gee, what most people try to go up to I would love to go down to!!! Might just add that to a tummy tuck as well!!!

    when i told my hubby that i was worried my boobs would dissapear when i started losing weight, he says "no worries, we can buy you more of those" hahaha, now that's the spirit! Thankfully I've only gone from a 38D to a 38C (still not sure how the '38' stayed the same considering the amount of inches lost)

    I have been a 36dd since 6th grade. Weight has never affected them. Age has. lol. If they were big before you gained weight they shouldn't change too much.

    As you age they kind of do what they want, I call it looking around the room more. haha.

    Looking around the room...HILARIOUS!!! I need to use that one

    I was a D before I lost theweight. I'm an A now, but they are still perky (if not perkier). I don't care what size they are as long as they aren't saggy.

    Lift weights and build your chest muscles up, and wear REALLY sturdy bras for exercise so bouncing doesn't pull on the skin. I double bra. I also believe in wearing bras pretty much 24/7 to keep them in line. Those are your best bets- honestly, when your waist and hips shrink, you don't need as much boob to look like you still got it.

    My band size stayed a 36 but I figure its because my body doesn't really store fat in my upper back.

    Funny, I was just lamenting this to my dh! It stinks but I'd rather be smaller in the waist/hips/etc and wear a great bra to help camouflage than have massive muffin top and big boobs )
    He offered to make them bigger again (pregnancy) and I respectfully declined ;)
    We have 4 kids and I breastfed them all. Pretty sure they were going to sag after being used so well. But, they served me well and I'm okay with that. Don't love it, but I'm okay with it.
    Definitely wear a good bra. But most of it is genetics I think. You either have very elastic skin or not. I happen to NOT.

    I feel the same way, I've had 2 kids, breast fed both of them, when I hit my goal weight, I'm getting new boobs and a tummy tuck as my reward! Already saving money.

    Perkiness changes with age. Don't worry about it. As long as they don't fall off you will be fine. And men don't really care. They are happy with anything they get to touch. lol. Mine aren't as perky but still good.

    I am 5'3". At my heaviest I was 140 pounds/22-24% body fat and a 36D (DD in some styles). I am now 116 pounds/13.5-14% body fat, wearing a 32D. Had to get measured at VS, so I'm pretty confident in my reported sizes.

    Nothing anyone else experienced here can impact the OP. You cannot control when and where your body will lose fat. Some people lose it in the breasts quickly, some never lose that tissue no matter how thin they get.

    OP: I think your best bet is to lose weight at a slow and steady pace and hope your skin recovers (to avoid the sag). Maybe doing chest targeted strength training will help keep things firm, I don't know. But when all is said and done, wouldn't you rather be healthy than have big boobs? Surgery can always fix them :wink:

    Every BODY is different so I guess answers will vary. I have lost a little over 25 lbs so far, and honestly, I haven't lost ANY of my breasts....still the same (if not better) than before.

    Age: 28
    Height: 5'6
    HW: 225
    CW: 198
    GW: 165

    ohhh...and 38D :)
