in Health and Weight Loss
This probably sounds really weird but I've looked online and I can't seem to find an answer.
I've lost 10.5 pounds so far and my boobs feel less 'squidgy', I thought when I lost weight they would be more soft and feel empty if that makes any sence but they feel harder.
Just want to ask would that be breast tissue and muscle underneath? It's under the whole boob :\
Sorry if this sounds silly.

    Breast tissue is primarily a fatty tissue. When you lose weight, typically they will change (but not always). How they change depends on your specific body composition and your medical history (age, pregnancy history, etc).

    Without wanting to scare you as it probably is just your chest muscles making things more taught, maybe you should see a doctor if any of the tissue in your breast seems to have hardened, just as a precaution. xxx

    But as I said it's probably nothing but if it's concerning you it's worth a visit. xx

    You're 23 so it's probably just fat going and you toning. Time is you your side :)

    But as always....go to your DR if YOU'RE worried.

    I think this probably is the only way to get the right answer.

    Your breasts are fatty tissue, muscle tissue, and mammary glands. When you lose weight, you are losing the fat, so the hardness you feel is the muscle and mammary glands. I read about a lot of people losing weight upset because they lose breast size. This hardly happens to me at all, but my breasts seem to be all mammary tissue (I pumped 100+ ounces of milk a day while nursing) and you aren't losing that without surgery.

    Not to go too far off topic, but holy crap.

    I sympathise - my boobs have changed too but unfortunately the opposite way :sad:

    One thing that might be worth keeping in mind - the consistency? density? i dunno, how your boobs feel can change throughout your monthly cycle due to hormones. Keep an eye (or hand!) on it, maybe track any changes and if it really is unusual for you then check with your doctor. Nothing wrong with asking, it's always better to be safe than sorry :smile:

    Mine got much firmer..in the sense that when I lay down they don't flop to the side now :laugh:

    Done lots of fly raises and I now have two nice mounds :laugh:
