    No one wants you to lose those at all. I am not seeing the issue here

    That's because you're a guy. Strap an extra 20 pounds to your chest and carry it around 24/7 and see how long it takes for you to sympathize. It's painful, restrictive, embarrassing, it makes us look even heavier than we already are, and I have to pay AT LEAST $40 a pop for a good bra.

    unfortunately...or ..err...fortunately-depends on your take, lol...."boobs" are adipose tissue..in other words, fat. If you lose weight at some point your boob size will to a certain extent, decrease with the weight loss. Unfortunately, you cant shape your boobs without surgery ( no im not suggesting that either ). You can shape the muscle underneath with resistance training but reducing the size is a result of weight loss.

    I am having the same problem. Seriously, I am down more than 20 lbs and now a healthy weight and they aren't going anywhere. I read somewhere (maybe here) that if you have "dense boobs" (meaning more glandular tissue and less fat) you won't lose as much from your chest. My doctor actually mentioned to me that they were dense, and maybe yours are too. I think this is one of those "grass is greener on the other side" situations though.
    ETA I have been lifting for a couple of months too.

    Well, my boobs have changed..... eventually LOL I was originally a DD, now I'm 3 sizes smaller in the back size but have gone UP to an F cup!!!!!!!!!! Apparently it happens according to my bra fitter!

    It took an awfully long time for any change to my bra size though, the only difference I first noticed was that everything was "heading south", so if you still have 'em, hang on to them!!!!!!!!

    Seriously, Are there any exercises to target these weapons of mass destruction? I have lost 40 lbs and these things aren't shrinking!!! My pant size has gone down my waist is smaller but yup there they are!! It's very annoying and unflattering to me. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm considering an alternative that i don't really believe in if they are still here when I am down to my gal weight. grrr!

    I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how a smaller waist and pant size, yet maintaining boob size, is unflattering.

    Either they're absolutely ginormous, or you're not looking at it from a guy's perspective.

    If your bodyfat gets down low enough, they'll shrink. Boobs are really just fat in a socially acceptable area. You can strengthen the muscles underneath with Bench press, Dumbbell presses, chest flyes, but they'll only shrink with bodyfat loss.

    This. Genetics decide where you lose fat first/last. You'll probably eventually lose at least some of them. There is no exercise that will change how much you have, just the appearance (strength training can "perk" them up).

    It stands to reason that they will eventually shrink, but if they are causing you discomfort I would work to stregthen your core... then work on the muscle underneath like several others have suggested. I carry around DD's myself, but I have never wanted them to shrink, I have however wanted them to be easier to carry around. :)

    I have the same issue - mine are dense, just genetics! I've lost weight before, but they always stick around :laugh:

    Apparently from a man's point of view, it's all good :wink:

    I only half wish I had that problem. I know too many friends who are well endowed and miserable with it. One had reduction surgery. Unfortunately for me all my weight is in my hips, thighs and most recently, my stomache, not my chest. However, having said that, I agree with working your chect muscles shoulders and arms to help tone the muscles and this will hopefully help "lift the weight" so to speak. Just start off slow, it really sucks when your whole chest hurts from doing too much too quickly.

    Mine haven't shrunk at all ... I'm a 36 G and can't wait for breast reduction surgery!

    Just tried on 20 bras last night and decided order a 36DD online and hope it fits. My ribs get smaller, the rest, nope.

    I love how boys think having big boobs couldn't possibly be a problem.

    Maybe if they had ()() that were the size of cantelopes or even basketballs they'd get it.
