How do you keep from losing your boobs?

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:

I would love mine to go down but I want my waist to go down first. I have always been atleast a D cup since 7th grade and I am currently a DD and would love them to go down so I don't have to wear super expensive extra supportive bras to work out just so I don't poke an eye out. I would also like to be able to buy shirts and dresses and not have to have them altered just so they look good. I don't know if I could suffer going below a C though as they have always been my "go to" accessory going out on the town.

I just had to post on this one, because I left the gym about an hour ago and just got out the shower. While I was looking in the mirror, I was thinking, "man, where did they go?", I had to adjust my straps so they cups wouldn't sag. I was happy and comfortable with my C, now, I am afraid to find out what they are, but I will work to perk them up. I've noticed that already, and I guess the perkiness is making up for the lost, but I thought my size fitted me so well. :ohwell:

Maybe, this should be the one area we can spot reduce or control. :laugh:

I can't wait for my boobs to shrink. I'm a 38E now and I really hope to get down to a D or a C when I lose this weight.. Maybe even a B. I'm pretty sick of the girls at this stage. They're always getting in the way!

I'll take the offer for extras!!!!!

Having gained 20, I'm a nice full and even perky C.. woohoo!!!! Haven't had that since pregnancy. When I drop the weight though... man, baseballs in a tube-sock. Aweful! I'll be lucky to keep it to a B, in fact.

Part of the perk, btw, isn't just muscle underneat but also how you're built. The "base" can have different configurations which can contribute to sag or firm appearances. Wide bases, obviously, will lend itself to perk, narrow will lend itself to droop - unless you get enough fat in there to fill everything in. Kinda' like a water balloon. Guess what camp I'm in?? :brokenheart: :sad: :brokenheart: :sad: :grumble:

If anyone wants to share, I'll take some! I've always been a A cup, and as soon as I lose they shrink even more. Doing chest exercises do help, not only do they "perk up" whats left but your posture improves and you flaunt a little better. Plus I'll be glad to fit back into my cute 34 A bras instead of my falling apart 36 As.

Also, the best lotion I have found (hard to find though) is Dove's Firming Cream with Seaweed Extract. If you can find it, try it. I use it on my thighs and stomach and it helps A LOT.
