After weight loss ..For "WOMAN" who can relate!

I have recently in the past two years lost about 40-50 lbs in total. I mostly did cardio and some weight lifting. I noticed all my bra's have gotten too big for me and now I feel bad because I feel my breast have lost so much (cup) size I feel insecure. Did any of you lady's experience breast size lost after weight loss? I totally feel flat chested when I try on my old bras and there is so much space in it. ::sad:

    YES. I lost 50 lbs last year and went from a 36C to a 34A. Before I had babies and gained weight, my breasts were pretty small, but they seem smaller now. Actually, they are smaller because i used to be a 34B. Bras are so expensive, I found it hard to get rid of my old ones. Every time I looked down, I'd get depressed because the cups would practically be empty. Finally bought new bras and I feel so much better with the cups fitting. I even have a little cleavage going on. So, buy some new bras. They provide better support when they fit. Congratulations on the weight loss!

    I went from a very full C (maybe even small D) down to a small C/big B a few years ago!! I regained some weight (that I am now trying to lose again) and went on BC so I am pretty full again, but it was slightly annoying but the way I felt about the rest of my body was worth it!

    I went from a DD/E to a B. Haven't lost much in firmness, and the stretch marks are minimal.

    It's seriously a dream come true, as I was considering an $8000 breast reduction a few years back to get to the size I am now.

    Seriously - I know we all have different "ideal" body types in our head but for me I couldn't be happier.

    I was sad when I suddenly had way too much empty space in my cups, both for the loss of size and the dang cost of bras! :tongue: I finally broke down and bought a few new ones (not too many, in case I get smaller!), and am happy with the results. They fit so much better and make me look better too, I think.

    I really hope mine get a lot smaller. I know my hubby wouldn't say the same... but he doesn't have to carry around what I do every day. In a DDD right now, at the start of my journey.
  • My body seems to want to take fat from my already small chest rather than my belly. I bought 34B or 32C and now the straps are too big for the 34Bs and the cups are too big for the 32Cs.

    Ugh! At the gym the other day I noticed how totally flat my chest is now. I've always been small, now I'm nonexistent. I'm barely a B.

    I went from a C cup o a fairly small B and I was/am pretty sad about it. I liked my boobs and now they are flat pancakes ( from having 2 kids) that need a lot of padding to make them look nice and have cleavage :sad: my husband says he still loves them but I don't .

    I'm hoping I lose a lot of boob, as I'm currently at an H cup, but sadly my family gains in boob first and never lose it. My doctor said I'm probably going to be getting a reduction.

    I started out at a 36D, but as I lost weight, I ended up down at a 28DDDD. Yes, that's four Ds. They make me happy. However, now I'm down to a 28DDD, which is a little saddening. I'm hoping I don't continue to lose there!
  • WOW glad to to know i'm not the only one. I guess should go get new bras then.

    My size did go down a bit (I lost 34 lbs) so I understand your pain. Padded bras help a lot :)

    I know how you feel and lately I have had no motivation to workout or run because I am scared I might even loose more fat on my breast. I just been counting calories I consume.

    Sadly, the girls are fat deposits so they tend to deflate during fat loss. I went from a 38B to a 36A. Pretty soon, they'll just be mosquito bites...yet my thunder thighs are still going strong! Get a push up and best of luck!

    yeah that will help but it has more to do of how i see them like when i'm lounging at home without a bra on and laying on the couch its like totally FLAT.. ughhh makes me feel so down.

    OMGosh mosquito bites NOOO! That's what I can say about mine if I continue with this weight/fat loss.

    I can not wait to get back to my A again. Lose a couple of bra sizes does not bother me, at all.

    Will you lose cup/bra size as you lose weight? Yes. Does this invalidate you as a woman? No.

    There are plenty of men in the world who either don't care about breast size or are A-OK with smaller ones. And honestly, most of them just think "BOOBS" and aren't really thinking anything after that.

    I'd be upset if mine didn't get smaller. I would look crazy disproportional with huge boobs on a much smaller body. I would rather look like all of me fits together.

    Yes I understand looking proportional but what about woman who don't have much to begin with. :(

    I went from a 40D to a 32B and they do have a rather deflated look. Meh, I'm pretty happy with the body I have now and I've come to accept the bits that aren't perfect.

    Yes. I went from a 44d down to a 38C where I am now and still going down in my bust. I lost 64 pounds so far

    I gained size as I gained weight so I figure they will shrink as I loose weight. Unfortunately they are already shrinking and looking deflated because I am cutting back on nursing. I had awesome boobs while pregnant and nursing. Oh well that's what padded bras are for.

    That's the only good part of not having much of a chest to start with! I look like I have more now that I've lost 35 lbs. People comment on it!

    Im a 38F right now and I'm hoping go down to a D cup at least!

    All the shops around me sell extremely pretty bras, but they only go up to a 36D...then upwards they are all horrible and plain :-(
  • My girls were the first say goodbye!!! I am only half way through my fat loss program and mine have gone from a 38C to maybe a small B/large A cup. It is kind of depressing, but still doesn't beat the confidence and self esteem I am gaining!!!

    I went from a 42G (although, was busting out of it and was probably actually H cup) to my current 34E. At my lightest weight pre-kids and weight gain I was a 30D, I'd be happy with that again. When I first lost the weight I was a bit concerned as they did appear a bit saggy but am please to say after a few months of my shape shifting around a bit they seem to have 'plumped' out again (in a good way lol) They ain't perfect but after 3 kids and almost 50lbs lost I think they're not too bad. Put it this way, my boyfriend has no complaints and neither do I!!! :happy:

    Went from a C/D to B/C (yes, I'm one of *those* women). The size drop doesn't bother me. I would just like to be proportional instead of having a small top and big butt 'n gut. Pretty disgusting when your fat gut sticks out further than your breasts. Ah well, now I can buy 3-4 bras from Piper's for the price of 1 at Addition-Elle.

    I have done thousands upon thousands of squats and lunges in my life. I also have very large breasts.

    In my experience, men are waaaaaaaaay more interested in a great bum than a great rack. I'd have mine removed if I weren't afraid of surgery.

    1. All breasts are awesome.
    2. The prettiest bras come in the smallest sizes.
    3. The smaller the breasts, the less bouncing they do in the gym.

    Your boobs are still awesome. Just because they're boobs, trust me.
