Strange Question for all women out there

I have the opposite problem I'm afraid, I lose everywhere but my boobs, I end up looking like a cartoon character the slimmer I get!

Any 'pec' exercises will help lift a little but sadly age and childbearing (not breastfeeding though apparently) mean all of us with more than an A cup go South eventually :frown:

I lose boobage too. And usually its the only place I lose. I have a "gigantic *kitten*" according to my BF, so, not having boobs to balance it out is lame. I have no advise for you, maybe someone else does. I just commiserate with your problem.

I think some of this is perception. We like to say that we lose it first in our boobs and never seem to gain it back, but if that were true we would all have sunken chests:bigsmile: . Much of our breast is fat. When we lose fat, we lose breast. For me, I don't think I end up looking flatchested, but I do notice my breasts are not as full when I lose weight.

One recommendation is to be sure to exercise so that you gain muscle.

I am also breast-gifted lol - not flat - but I have a good exercise for you as a fellow mother who nursed! Take a pair of 5 lb weights (or heavier if you like) and bend them toward your face, elbows touching, open your arms (butterfly) and press up perpendicular to shoulders, back down and repeat. Do as many as you can for 1 minute. Works arms, chest and shoulders and I have found lifts the girls back up where they belong. Hope that makes sense!

Do you know if there is a video or photos somewhere we can see for this workout? I am getting lost in translation. . . . .it must be the blonde in me.

Building your pectoral muscles will help lift what's there out and up more, so it may not get any bigger cup-size wise but they will stick out more and look perkier! Basically this means anything with a press; chest press, push ups, etc. If you're a somewhat beginner with weights, I recommend starting with dumb bells until you're comfortable. Make sure to keep your elbows out at 90 degrees or wider to get the most benefit. Then eventually you can graduate to the bar (it weighs 45 lbs). Just keep those arms wide. For pushups, you can always do variations based on hand placement: Hands in a v, shoulder-width, wide, shoulder width with triceps going back....these are great because as much as they suck, they hit a lot of major muscle groups (including the treacherous arm flaps we all hate!).

My breast also shrink when I lose weight. I do agree with one woman on here who said that it is because they are fat...makes sense. I also have came to the conclusion that although my boobs are getting smaller which sucks, I am okay with it because the rest of me is also getting smaller. I will sacrafice small boobs for a smaller body! lol! Good luck!

I can so relate, I have lost quite a bit in the boob department too at least a size smaller. I think doing exercises for your pecs will help. Look up on youtube, you can probably find some good exercises....I am going to check it out for sure

Here goes....Lately, I've noticed that I've lost in places I didn't really want to lose (my boobs). I'm still like a 38 - 40 around but the cup, probably a B instead of a C, maybe even smaller

I'm 173 and losing inches everywhere. I feel like I look like one of those major runners that are really flat chested.

Anyone else suffer from this?

Is there anyway I can exercise to at least "lift" up what I've already got. I'm 39, so everything is sagging down because of gravity and the 3-4 years I spent nursing the kids.

Thanks

Join the club, I spent SIX years total nursing 3 kids. I went from a 36 B/C pre pregnancy to a 42DD while nursing my youngest ( and then again this year at my heaviest). Since February I have gone from a 42DD to a 40C, and now a 38D/DD. I think I'll be OK if I go down to a 36 band, but I don't think it is possible to go below a C cup size. They may hang down to my belly button, but there is plenty of volume!

This happened to me. I noticed them "gone" (from DDD at start to now barely a C) around March :grumble:

But, somehow they have kinda tightened up! I do strength training 2-3 times a week (NROLFW) which might be the reason. Whatever the reason, I am thankful!

Funny thing is I hadn't noticed, but hubby did! :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

I had the opposite problem where my breasts got bigger as I lost weight. I wore a B and went up to a D. I think it is mostly I was losing elsewhere but my breasts stayed mostly the same.

You could try working the underlying muscles but really breasts are made of fat and tissue, nothing to 'build them up'. I'd work on pushups and you could also do chest flys.

I've got the same problem.

Gone down from a C cup to two little fried eggs. I like being small, but wish my boobies were fuller. Seem to have too much spare skin left in that area that also makes them look wrinkly.

I'm kinda worried about this too!
My mom started a crash diet at the age of 13, and she's 50 and still on it. She has tiny boobs because she deprived herself of nutrients when she was developing, so she's not really well-endowed. Recently she told me that my age is perfect for trying to lose weight--because when you're 18, most people are fully (or close to fully) developed.
I'm currently a 38DD, and I was under the impression that I would keep my boobs as I thinned. On one hand, it would be easier to shop if they shrunk, but I want to keep them! Will they shrink??

I've lost a lot from my boobs as well, I suppose it's normal since boobs are made mostly of fat anyway. From cup D to C and I'm not sure if they won't shrink to B with time since I am still trying to lose a bit ...

My goodness, I wish i could lose it off my boobs...I have lost in excess of 100cm off my whole body and only 2cm is off my boobs (of which im convinced was back fat!! hehehe) Definately starting to look like a cartoon character...32G size is here to stay!

I have the same problem but mine are starting to look more proportionate for my body. I was small to begin with so I am hoping not to lose too much more.
