wait, butt what about my boobs?

You can't choose where to lose. Your body decides where to lose.

Fortunately, losing from the boobs doesn't necessarily lead to sagging. For me, it led to LESS sagging. Before the fat was really weighing my boobs down. Now my boobs are smaller, but also perkier.

People say building chest muscles can help, too. Do chest muscle exercises like bench press and chest fly, and go HEAVY (so heavy, you can't do more than 5-8 reps in a row even if your life depended on it). Eat protein.

chest and shoulder should help boobs, squats/lunges and similar exercises help with butt.

I really, really, REALLY miss my boobs. Back when I was still eating like an idiot and around 160 pounds, I was barely squeezing into a 36C. Now I'm around 130 pounds (just hit my goal a week or two ago), I feel like I'm in denial trying to make a 34B work. I haven't had any sagging or weirdness- they're perky as ever, they're just...smaller. I wanted to lose weight to feel better about myself and feel more feminine, but my vanishing boobs have made me feel boyish on bad days. I've had female friends recommend wearing those gain-two-cup-sizes push up bras, but then none of my shirts would fit. I'm not concerned about whether or not the general public *thinks* I have big breasts. I'm concerned about what I see in the mirror.

Not to say small-chested women aren't feminine or that I think they're anything short of absolutely lovely. It's just taking a long time for me to adjust to this new(ish) me. On the upside, I NEVER get that awful bra strap bulge anymore, and I don't have to have an atomic sports bra for high impact exercise.

I think I will try some chest exercises to see if it helps at all.

I feel like I'm in the minority on here because I would be absolutely ecstatic if I lost my boobs. I would be happy going from a DDD to even a D but would love to be lose more than that. Unfortunately, it's not happening for me, my body apparently doesn't want to let go of my "girls".

Don't worry. If your "girls" fit your new body everything is fine. My "girls" have always been smaller, and I've never, ever had a complaint.

i'm kind of afraid of what will happen if i am LUCKY enough to lose inches from my boobs. i'm 5'2" and wear 38DD. UGH!

I'm 5'2", started at a 42DD. My sports bra that I bought like 2 months ago is a 38D...I KNOW I was a 38DD 2 months ago. Today I tried on an old 38C bra, and I had just a tiny bit of overflow. Gravity ( and a combined total of 6 years of breastfeeding) have taken their toll, but at least they don't rest on my belly like they did 6 months ago!

you have to have me and me only come over and rub them with special oil three times day... i have helped many other ladies on mfp maintain theirs... :laugh:

I wish I could say weight training helped mine, but weight training has actually reduced mine and they have not gotten perkier. After 3 kids, I'm afraid that just isn't going to happen for me. In the past, they never really reduced, but I would say I was "skinny fat". This time around I'm really pounding the weights and it has definitely impacted that area. I'm looking to get an augmentation, more to put them back where they belong, right now they are like deflated balloons. Hahaha
