How do you keep from losing your boobs?

I feel as though it's not possible. Mine really suffered as well, and my trainer says the only thing you can do is try and build muscle underneath.
Sorry! It's terrible, I know.

The reality is that fat is lost from the places it is naturally held. Unfortunately, our breasts are one of those areas. You can do things to make them "perky" but to keep them the same size, I am afraid not.

Okay, I'm probably in the minority here, but I am excited to have smaller ladies. At my smallest, I was down to a C cup and actually able to find cute bras and wear button-up shirts that fit in both the arms AND the chest (I normally have to pick one or the other).

Pushups and chest press work well to build the muscle underneath. This will help make sure that the boobs that are left are as perky and full-looking as possible. http://exercise.about.com/library/blsamplechest.htm

Ah, geez.... sorry for the double post...

I have to laugh about this. I had just complained to my husband about this yesterday. I had a reduction 10 years ago and now I am kind of regretting it because they are going away. I know alittle bit of it is because I had stopped breastfeeding a month ago so they were bigger but now they are really going away lol. You cant win for lose

I am another who WANTS to lose them. I'm a DD and want to be smaller!

Add me to the list that is happy to see them go. My husband, not so happy................

LOL

When I first met my husband 16 years ago, I was wearing an A cup..............Now I am wearing a C and some D's and I hate the size of my boobs and I am not even as big as some of the ladies here. They are still heavy though.

The Dr once told me that whether or not your lose your boobs depends on how much mass you have compared to the amount of fat.................

Personally, I'll be glad to see my "girls" GO!!!

:laugh:

I went from a 38DD to a 36C so far. I too, am grateful. I tell ya, they hurt so bad when my time of the month came (sorry, TMI), now they don't hurt at all. I can run and jump....... oh yeah, my husband is sad, but he still has playboy!

Just had a thought.. are UK and USA sizes different??

I suffer from the same problem. by breasts are really uneven, and when I lose weight the first thing that happens is the smaller one gets even smaller. Then the next to go is my butt, where I have nothing to lose, its flat as a board. It is discouraging when these things I don't want to lose get smaller and the fat around my middle just stays put. I am afraid there is nothing we can do about it, just try to build more muscle where the fat is lost and hopefully as i lose more weight it will eventually start coming off my waist, it is already starting to a little.

I think you and I have exactly the same problem...really annoying, but it's good to know I'm not alone! I've only lost about 10 lbs but I've gone down a full cup size, and it's especially noticeable on the smaller side. I also have broad shoulders and build muscle pretty easily for a woman. I'm sometimes afraid I'm going to end up looking like a man and still have a little belly pooch.

I'm another one who wants to keep the girls.. I was a barely B (only a B when i put inserts into the Bra LOL) when I met hubby (when I was 18 - before I started gaining weight).. And between the 3 pregnancies and a combined almost 5 years of breastfeeding, I'm at a C now (highest point was a DD, dropped to the C after weaning). I like my C's.. Hubby likes my C's.. I don't really want to lose them.

I am glad to see mine reducing a little bit ...I am a UK 34G and have noticed my bras being somewhat empty on the cup ! Will wait until I lose some more before getting fitted again though.. I have a treadmill and power walk - would love to jog but I feel I really don't have the anatomy for it at present.....
Will try some of the workouts suggested too - as I don't want to be saggy and deflated

This is an AWESOME thread!!! Some of you guys' answers are great! I too, am in the minority. I want them smaller. At my smallest weight (120 lbs), I was a 32A. At my heaviest weight (187 lbs) I was a 44DD and a half. I gave up wearing button up shirts, cute tank tops, and any kind of sexy ling-er-ree!!! I am short as I am only 4'11" and I'm short-waisted, so having ginormous boobs pretty much looks goofy on me. They are heavy, look funny, and don't fit into anything! I am now down to a 42D and loving it! My fiance hates it, but I love the fact that I can actually start thinking of buying pretty, lacy bras without having to special order them.

Also, chest exercises are your best bet to perk up the girls. Seated chest presses, flys, push-ups (with varying hand positions such as diamond, wide, and narrow are good), and believe it or not, shoulder exercises will help. This will tighten the muscle underneath the breast tissue. In my case however, I can chest press my way into oblivion and the girls are still gonna sway low, sweet chariot!!!!

The advice earlier about moisturizing the skin of the breast is vital. If I had known that in my late teens and early 20's, I would not be hangin' so low now. I would also suggest using those Vitamin E creams that are good for pregnant women and for stretch marks. Those creams are low in chemicals, high in Vitamins good for the skin and will help firm up the girls.

And to the gal that posted that her husband still has Playboy.......THAT WAS THE COMMENT OF THE MONTH!!!!! AWESOME! :laugh:
