want to keep my boobs

Speaking as a guy, a fit and healthy woman is attractive regardless of breast size..... and furthermore, a natural breast with natural imperfections are far more attractive than the off the shelf fix-a-flat plastic ones.

You will go back to whatever you were when you were thin. Genetics. Sorry!

Depends on your body. When I lost 60 lbs previously (put it back on due to medication) I went from a 38DD to a 34E. So while my back got smaller my cup size actually increased. But as others have said, weigh up the difference of losing weight and losing boobs or staying overweight and keeping boobs. That's why they created gel bras, lol!

your cup size didn't increase. a 34E isn't the same size in the cup as a 38E. it's the same size (cup wise) as a 38D.

so you lost two bandsizes and one cupsize, which isn't a bad proportion, but is still smaller than the size of breast you started out with.

I went from a 38DD not a 38E. So by your logic my boobs stayed the same size. I know how bra sizing works as I'm a trained bra fitter and I also know my body. They got bigger and heavier. Even in the 38DD's that were too big on my back they were spilling out over the cups. And 34E is not a good proportion. It's a horrendous proportion that makes buying even the simplest clothes a complete nightmare. Gotta get the smallest size to fit my back but is then stretched across the boobs oh and of course the hips. 34E is not good.

An E is bigger than a DD, if you are a trained bra fitter you would know a 38DD =36E=34F in the cups
in otherwords you LOST one cup size.

and if you hate your boobs, lower your body fat, they will go.

I personally don't think an E is huge, I'm a J.... It's all relative...

Hi there,

Sorry to say, the boobs will definitely go if you lose weight. I was very obese at 111kgs and my bra size was a 22DD, I have lost over 54kgs and now weigh in at 56.4kgs, and my boobs are now a 10B and even then they only need a B cup due to the excess skin of my boobs.

Unfortunately I don't believe you can have the best of both worlds :0( My husband is very disappointed needless to say and is now encouraging me to get a boob lift or implants.

Good luck!!

Argh! Implants are VERY unhealthy and surgery is painful and risky (general anesthetic). Natural bio-identical progesterone cream is the healthy alternative. Many women gain a whole cup size (or more) from vaginally supplying a small amount of progesterone cream for three weeks out of every month. It does not cause weight gain because it actually increases the effectiveness of thyroid hormones.

I am confused..you put cream in your vajajay to increase your boob size?

Think about it---progesterone/estrogen is produced in abundance during pregnancy and what happens to a woman's breast size during pregnancy? But estrogen causes overall fat gain and progesterone causes fat to be deposited in breast tissue (that is why a woman loses breast density as she ages--she loses her progesterone supply even though she may have adequate levels of estrogen). Most women have too much estrogen for a lot of reasons (see my post above) and progesterone is such that the less you have, the less you will have. To increase progesterone production, it may be necessary to supply it for a time (should be supplied vaginally because it can build up in the skin of other areas of the body and cause problems.) The side effect will be an increase in breast size but progesterone will contribute to better overall health and breast health in particular. But just make sure that it is bio-identical progesterone cream (available at health food stores and pharmacies). That is very important---synthetic progestins (such as that administered in the birth control pill) will mess up your hormone balance. Two good brands that I know of are Kokoro and Evita.

Maybe it's that way for a lot of people, but I was 140.6 lbs when I started MFP. I'm now 124.8 and still wearing my 34DD bras. So... it's not necessarily true that the boobs are the first to go.

^ and this

Well, you need to decide what is important to you. You can always buy boobs if you decide you don't like the smaller set. I got used to them and fit my frame pretty good IMO.

I'm a pound away from being 30 pounds lost so far and I went from a 38DD to a 38DDD.
I might add that I have an unusually large ribcage lol.

I feel so lucky right now My boobs were the 1st to come and Im guessing they will be last to go! I was born to have a big chest always. I have gone from 42DDD to 38D. Which I am incredibly happy with. I still have lots to go - but regardless, Ill still have boobs by the time I hit maintenance.
