This question may have been asked previously; but I am curious if everyone knows how much breasts weigh? I have D's and have been said I look lighter than I actually am...can breast size really make a that much of a visible difference than what is on the scale??

Thanks!

    I can't answer your exact question, but I do have a suggestion. If you're afraid your chest adds significantly to your weight (and as a fellow D-cup I think you could be right--it seems to be a big chest adds at least 10 pounds), maybe get your body fat tested at your doctor's office. If your body fat is healthy but you weight more than charts say, you may in fact be top heavy. :) But if your body fat is higher than ideal, you'll have an idea of how weight you really need to lose.

    As a DDer myself, I find that losing weight eventually makes the girls smaller. But in my case, it's the last place I lose.

    I have Cs and mine weigh 5 pounds each I think, if I remember correctly. I doubt this is accurate at all but I had my bf hold mine up while I weighed myself, and then I weighed myself normally, and compared the difference. I could care less how much mine weigh but he wanted to know because he's a guy, and they're breasts. Lol

    This is probably a question you aren't going to get a satisfactory answer to since we're all made up differently. I do know that when I was pregnant with my second child, I was a 38 DD+ (not quite big enough to go to the next size, but busting out of the DD) When I told my son to the doctor, I laid my breast ..one at a time, on the scale....13lbs each! YIKES!

    How exactly do you weigh your boobs? And why would you want to know? Serious question

    Boobage can definitely account for some pounds.

    Everyone is shaped differently, and some breasts have a higher fat content (again, depending on shape). The rough approximation I heard is that D-cups can add around ten pounds of body weight.

    That's why I always feel bad when larger-busted friends of mine get so irritated that they can't lose those "last ten pounds". I point out that it's mostly in their chest and can't be lost without surgery.

    Thanks everyone! I am on the last 10 lbs right now so maybe I should keep in mind that my breasts may be the reason why I cant lose the last... I will for sure be going to the doctor to get my Body Fat measured.
    Thanks again!
