Will I lose my B cups?

in Health and Weight Loss
HI! During all last year I gained 40 pounds. Before I started gaining weight I was a 34 B and now I am still wearing the same bra but I might be a tiny bit bigger in breast fullness and somewhat bigger band size. I definitely have not gone up a cup size. If I lose all the weight I gained-or at least 25 pounds-will my breasts get smaller than they were BEFORE I gained all this weight? Or will they just go back to the size they always used to be before i gained weight? Anyone know a way to not lose much weight in the breasts, like if push ups work or maybe those make you even smaller?
I have not yet committed to weight loss yet, thought I somehow lost 5 lbs a few months ago which has not fluctuated. But when the time is right for me I plan on losing weight by exercising and eating less sugary carbs.
SO, to anyone who has been a B or A cup before AND after they gained weight, how much did your size change after you lost the weight?
Thank you!

    As a B-cup comrade, I can tell you that my ladies have never changed size with weight loss or gain with the exception of puberty. Everybody's breasts are different, and mine are of the assortment that don't care what I weigh - they've always been B's. Except, I must say, in the third week of my birth control cycle. Those hormones pump me up!!

    I also am a B cup and I've just recently started to notice that I don't fill out the cups as much anymore...they were almost popping out of the B cup 25 pounds ago! Alas, as the previous person said, every ladies' girls are different. You are likely to see them get a bit smaller, but I don't think it will be anything too drastic.

    I'd gained almost 30 lbs in the span of 3 years. I went from a solid B to a C, but the increase in cup size happened during the last year. I've since lost the weight and have gone to slightly below a B (not quite an A cup though).

    Usually, the last place you gain weight/fat is the first place you'll lose fat. If your breast size hasn't increased, I'm thinking that they won't get smaller if you lose the weight that you'd gained. If they do, though, you'll probably still be a B cup.

    I gain and lose it there first, but everyone is different. I don't think they are going to be smaller than they ever were (unless you are looking to be smaller than you ever were). You'll likely just be what you usually are when you are at your goal weight.

    As my weight fluctates so do my breasts. I was a B cup when I was heavier, as I lose weight I drop down to an A cup...But to be honest I don't mind at all.

    Well I was on the lower end of Bs when I hit 140 at my highest almost 2 years ago, now I am at 126 and back in A cup size. So yeah my breasts are definitely effected by weightless.

    I notice my collar bones, and upper chest ribs more when I lose weight, boobs shrink too. Sadly it's from the top down that it goes and from the thighs/ bottom up that I gain.

    I was a B teanager/young adult, got to a C with weight gain, lost 60 lbs and wear an A, sometimessss B depending on the brand but mostly A.

    I have to say, I'm envious of the women in this thread that lost weight but didn't lose any in the chest area.

    I used to be a solid B, but 60 pounds later I'm now a AA cup. I have a sorry feeling that they'll be even smaller in 10kg's time! My Mum was virtually flat-chested when she was 110 pounds at 25, so that's half what I'm expecting now. Oh well, I just keep telling myself the smaller they are, the easier it is to run!

    It depends. If your boobs are the size they are meant to be when you are large then no they won't go down. The thing is though, some very large women have large breasts because they are fat. So when they drop weight the weight drops from their boobs as well. Make sense?

    I personally lost 70 pounds and have kept all but 20 of them off. My bra size changed in the band, but not the cup size. It just depends on how you're made.
    Even if they go down though I am sure it will be proportionate to your body. Someone can be 5'6 and 300 pounds with DD's, lose weight and go to a B or C and look fabulous.

    You know, some men prefer smaller breasted women...just saying.

    It depends on the composition of your breast tissue. You will lose any excess fat in the "girls" but not the breast tissue so much. I went from a 38D to a 38B, contrary to an earlier reply, my band size didn't change but the cup size did. However, I know women who don't lose much if anything in the chest area despite becoming very fit and trim all over. I think since they hadn't increased much, your odds are good they won't decrease much with a 25 lb. loss (which you said has been your gain). Past that, who knows? Good luck!

    I think you'll drop band sizes before you see actual loss in the cups. I had Ds 68 lbs ago and now they're full Cs, so I think it takes a lot of weight loss to lose a noticeable amount in the breasts. Everyone is different, and the fact that you didn't notice a huge increase with the weight gain suggests, at least to me, that you won't shrink in the same amount as you lose weight.

    It really depends how much fatty tissue you have vs breast tissue. The breast is not just made up of fat deposits.

    My boobs keep getting bigger but my size keeps getting smaller. o.o I will forever be cursed with (What are supposed to be C but feel like and look like double D) boobs.

    My nursing bras were G cups I think.

    The last sports bra I bought was a 34B
    I could almost fit into a 36A when I bought my strapless one.

    Both my sisters are smaller chested.
    And we have pretty much the same body type.

    I think my boobs came from being fat,

    I went from a 34D to a 30C (which is like a 32B)


    Breasts are fatty tissue, so there's no guarantee they won't shrink. I would assume they would just go down to the same band size you were at your lowest weight though...

    I have fluctuated from 140 with DD, to 160 still DD, but as soon as I dipped below 140 (I am currently 136) I noticed I went down a cup size. I was a little sad I must admit because I worry about that term no one wants to say "sagging" if I reach my goal weight. Ive found my girls are not as perky since I've lost the weight, but hey, were doing this for us right? Healthy bodies all the way!!

    I lost 20 pounds and went from a 32F or G to a 30E or F (depends on the brand). Sadly it has just made it even harder to find a decent bra that doesn't break the budget. My sister didn't lose any cup sizes but went down 2 band sizes. She was a B as well. I think her boobs had less fat to begin with so it didn't affect her as much.

    I am wondering sorta the opposite. I wanna lose more in the boobie dept. I'm a DD and setting out to lose 180 lbs. I've lost 45 so far and no change in the girls yet. But I am shopping wedding dresses and some of the cutest ones just are not made for big chested girls. Any chance as I lose the next 135 lbs that my girls will shrink? I'd love to be a C cup. I was a C cup in junior high and I wasn't fat yet.

    Cup size does not necessarily reflect actual size. Cup size is relative to the band size. The volume of a bra cup is the same for 30D, 32C, 34B, and 36A.

    I can tell you I was a D when I almost had a 6 pack and my weight gain only bumped me to a DD. A lot of people say that weight gain is the only reason some chicks have big boobs but it's not always that clean cut.

    I dont think it works the same for all women but my story is that I have always been very big. My bra was a 40D since 7th grade but I weighed about 250 then... I got all the way up to 270 and wore a D cup still. I have now lost 73 lbs and my C cup is a little big. I am probably a B now but havent bought a new bra recently. The band size went down to a lose 36 which I wear on the tightest clips. The girls shrunk. A lot. but so did the rest of me so it evens out. I dont mind having smaller breast, what I do mind is the lose skin on them :( Its not pretty. I work out... A lot... and still have saggy skin all over. Im 25 and hoping that it will catch up with me and look better but I lost 70 lbs in 11 months so maybe that all happened too quick for my skin. Anyways... I know others who lose and gain dramatic amounts and their "girls" never change.. I'm just not that lucky :(

    Mine have sadly disappeared with my weight loss lol. They were the first things to go too lol. Before starting my diet I was practically spilling out of my 36B size....and now, I'm down to a 34B and refuse to get an A cup lol. And i get the ones with super padding which helps lol. But like some women said, everyone is different so it really depends on ur body. I hope ur one of the lucky ones lol :)
