    Why is the opposite of success? The important men in my life have always loved me for ME -- not the girls. And besides smaller girls droop less as we age. :wink:

    wow! That is awesome for you!!! I felt the same way when I lost weight back in 2007...for some reason the boobs were the first to go (not what where I would have liked to lose weight from first!) but what can you do! Good job so far! Keep up the good work!

    RIGHT! When I got pregnant I was in a C.. went up to a DD and was okay with that.. I'd even be okay with a C.. I'm so sad about a B tho'.. Thinking I might have to buy a padded bra to wear with my tank tops.. lmao

    My boobs are my faveorite thing about me right now, they are a delicious and full 34 JJ!
    I hate when I loose weight and they deflate :o(
    Im trading in the pert boobs with the spare tyres, cankles, chunky arms and extra chin! Aaagh the sacrifices we make!
    :o)

    Don't be so down about it!!! Smaller girls equal less back aches, being able to see AROUND yourself without moving your boob outta the way (lol I can't!), an easier time finding your size bra at the store!! I can't wait to be back in a C. I've jumped from a 38C to a 36D - which is good, I've lost around my ribcage, just not the girls yet... I don't mind big boobs, I just hate knowing I've gained a whole size from gaining weight through the years. It could be worse, I'm sure.

    Anyway...rejoice that you've lost somewhere, who cares where!!!

    Yup! I know all about that! I was a 36D now I am a 34B ;(

    But 34B is the size that I seem to see all the cutest bras in! I feel like the only bras I find in anything above a C cup just screams "I am NOT messing around here!" Sorry, but I just can't feel sexy buying bras named "Olga" and "Maidenform" with giant straps and three clasps! (Not that they don't serve their purpose, just not quite as fun!)

    That's why I always shopped at Freddricks of Hollywood.. Fabulous store for overweight women, or just women with huge boobs.. I LOVED it.. I bet they don't even carry a B cup.. lmao..

    If your picture is current, those girls are definitely more than a B cup. Most women are wearing the wrong bra size. I know I am -- I can never find one that fits correctly no matter how many times I measure & do the sizing thing. :laugh: 38 C and D seem to fit me the best right now. Yet, with sports bras, even a 36 band feels too loose. :grumble: And, as you may be able to tell in my photos, my ladies are not very big at all. :wink:

    Also important to note, as band sizes go down, cup sizes go down relative to the band size. For example, the C cup in a 42C is LOT bigger than the C cup in a 36C.

    I'd just like to say that if we were talking "grades" - a B is MUCH better than a D! LOL!

    Congrats on your weight loss... mine are getting smaller too... and I'm ever so thankful!

    I'm a certified bra fit specialist, I measured myself, in both forms and came out with the same result.. I may have been wearing the wrong size before.. but not by much

    Mine have actually gone up in cup sizes since I started loosing. Less than a year ago I was fitted into a 44E, I am now in a 36G :noway: Luckily I haven't had back issues, but I do have trouble finding a supportive enough sports bra. I am shrinking so fast I don't want to spend a lot on them at this point.

    I can honestly not remember the last time I wore anything but a DD cup. I will jump for joy if and when I go down to a C cup. Hopefully my boobs won't jump with me then!!!! :bigsmile:

    I would love to go down to a B cup. Pretty sure that was my training size. :wink: Enjoy your freedom from back pain.

    Then there are those of us that were lucky enough to get up to a B while heavier. Now that I've lost 20 lbs, I've gone from a 36B to a 34A. Why couldn't that have come from my butt and left my boobs alone!?

    I hear ya! I went from a D to now a C...after I am done losing I am definitely going to get a tummy tuck and a boob job. From losing so much weight I have begun to sag...I hate the way it looks and I'm only 28. Gotta get er done!

    So this is funny. I've worn a 36D for as long as I can remember, with a brief dip into a C-cup when I last lost a bunch of weight. I get measured at the store whenever I lose/gain weight and I tend to think I know what a good fitting bra looks/feels like.

    I took my measurements this morning and noticed that things have gone down significantly--most of all in my chest (just under my breasts) and across the bust. So, I thought "I'm going to plug these into an online calculator and see what my new size should be."

    Now, I realize that the online calculators can't replace a fitter who knows what she is doing, but THREE different calculators told me that I should now be a size..... 34A!!!!!

    First of all.... WHAT?!

    But secondly, no way! I don't think I'm in denial -- I think the girls look great and I honestly wouldn't mind getting to buy a petite size. I just REALLY don't think that what I am sporting is a 34A! I guess I'll have to hit up a department store and find out for sure.
