You can give some to me. Went from a DD to a D/full C and not happy.0

Sadly sweetie you may not lose much in your breasts. I have lost 1oo+ pounds and gone from DD to D. They say its all in your genes...well....not so sure about that because no one in my family is blessed.
Good luck I hope you find the results you want.0 -
I would wait until you hit your goal weight before you make any decisions. Also try to do some strength training to tighten things up. If you are still unhappy, it's your life so make whatever decision will make you happy. Just make sure you are doing it for you and not because you think that's what guys like!! Good luck!0

The first major loss I had (60 lb) I think I mainly lost inches around, and while my breasts got smaller (I could tell), my actual cup size didn't change, because as your ribcage measurement gets smaller, your cup size gets bigger, because the cup size is based on the difference between your ribcage measurement and your bust. So even though I lost a few inches all around, my cup size remained about the same. I basically went from being a 40F to a 36F, but my overall bust size went down from 47 to 43. So even if you're not seeing your cup size go down, it's very possible that your overall bust size is decreasing.0

Pics or it didn't happen.
Uhm, this is the Internet - you have plenty of porn to access.
I know you're kidding (I hope) but no need for such comments.0 -
When I was my thinnest adult weight at 130, I was a 34C. At my heaviest now (18X), I'm a 36C. They seem to like that size.0

Just depends where you lose weight. I'm the same size I was 30 lbs ago
It's all where your body decides to lose the fat...0 -
I'm very concerned about this. When I look in the mirror, I'm nothing but boobs. If I were to lose my flabby belly, I'd be like Dolly Parton. How can I make my breasts smaller? Or do I really have to look into breast reduction surgery?
Don't be concerned. Boobies rock and big boobies rock even harder. Normal or small sized girls with big boobs are almost impossible to find all natural!! Some lady's lose all their boobs when they lose weight and they are bummed out. You dress up in a nice dress and with your big boobs you will get the attention of every guy. Then you can simply take your pick lol. If you are taken then I would highly suggest getting his opinion as I am sure he likes your huge boobs very much.
Breast reduction is blasphemy :laugh:

My band size has decreased from a 40 to a 38. A good sign but I wish to see a decrease somewhere else too 0 -

This happened to me, I went from a 38 to 30. However I went to Bravissimo here in the UK and had a re-fit, I was jumping for joy going down in back size but could of cried when I went up 3 cup sizes :sad: The fitter insisted I put my t-shirt back on I'm glad as I looked so much smaller, I couldn't believe it.0 -
I've dropped 55lbs so far and only lost, am guessing 1/2 D from my DDD (was 40DDD, now 38/36DD+half D), so it doesn't look like much in proportion. Genes are it. I can only see big breasted-women when I look at the line of women in my family. So check yours for clues.
I used to be 34D until I had my kid, 13 years ago. I always thought I would get a breast reduction but always chickened out somehow. It is a pain to live with big breasts after all; try running after a preschooler, playing the guitar (where does it fit? all the room is taken!), fitting in nice button-styled clothes, or even fitting in training swimsuits or wetsuits, as if swimmers were all high-school-girl or Olympian-shaped gals. But during my latest weight loss, I have noticed with fat coming off my waist, it doesn't look too bad and actually got a bunch of compliments on my new shape. It has seriously led me to reconsider breast reduction surgery, and darn, I was so decided about it and even had it scheduled. I also live in microcosmic Orange County, where huge boobs seem to be the norm, so I may have lost some of my "objectivity". All that to say that I would seriously advocate for you to wait until you lose as much fat as possible and see if you're still in the "G's" before making a decision re surgery. But in the end, if surgery feels right for you, go for it. All the friends I have who did it absolutely love their new body.0 -
First off I think all these misogynistic comments need to end. If she is uncomfortable with her breasts being that large you shouldn't tell her to keep them because you think big boobs are sexy.
This isn't about your sexual turn-ons, its about her comfort. Secondly, OP, I would suggest talking to your doctor about breast reduction. If you've lost that much weight they may ask you to loose about 10 more pounds, but if it is causing pain you shouldn't have to live with it.0 -
I'm one of those that starts losing lbs from my breasts before anywhere else. You made me think of a friend who said something particular which might interest you in case you're a big soy-eater. She said that she drank lots of soy milk and ate lots of stuff with soy because it made her breasts bigger, but at the same time it made her moody, among other things. Maybe something to consider??0

Thank you Nino.
My breasts are not causing me any pain. I have a broad back so nothing to worry there. I'll meet my OB/GYN soon to discuss breast reduction. It's very expensive and I don't have much money, but it will be worth saving up for.0 -
I'm soooo glad that other's have experienced this. When I talk about it, people think I am crazy! The first time I lost weight (220-160 11th grade) I went up a cup size. Everybody told me I was nuts even though I of course had to buy new bras. The second time I had the same problem, up a cup size. I've lost 45 lbs so far this time and am up a cup size again! I think I'm going to go nuts! I'm only a 38DDD but I'd be happy if they would fall off at this point!0

Some women have more fat in their breasts than breast tissue and some women have more tissue which means they wouldn't lose them as quickly.
This.0 -

You'll need to see a plastic surgeon for this, not an obgyn. And mine was covered by my insurance, the plastic surgeon can advise you about that and deal with your insurance company.0 -
If you drop enough weight to have a BF under 20% they will go.
I'm in the bra business, and I doubt you are a 38.0 -

I wish people realised that the CUP size of a 36DDD is NOT anywhere near the cup size od a 40DDD
you haven't lost half a cup, you have lost 3.0 -

Gasp! Go tell the salespeople at Nordstrom! They say the number, is the circumference of the bust, and the letters are the depth of the cup. It also seems to be the way the plastic surgeon I talked to was sizing it. Been carrying these breasts for the last 35 years, both sides of the Atlantic, am curious to see if there's a more accurate approach I been missing all these years. Please share your approach, dearest Tigress.0 -

I went to Linda the Bra Lady in NYC and I measured 38G. Are you saying I should be bigger or smaller?0 -

no one at Nordstrom will tell you that the CUP on a 36DDD is the SAME as the cup on a 40DDD
it's easy enough to prove.
go to any bra store. go to walmart. go to target. go to lane bryant, VS, La Senza, doesn't matter.
pick up a 32D a 34D, a 36D and a 38D
or a 34C, 36C, 38C
or anything you like as long as you use the same bra style and the same CUP LETTER with a different BAND size
hold them up to each other and compare
revel in your "wrongness"
there's nothing wrong with how nordstrom sizes, the problem is with your comprehension of it.0 -

when did you go? was is recently?
I think you look smaller than a 38 band, I would also say you look smaller than a 38G cup, but maybe Linda uses US sizes, which are frankly asinine. and maybe she uses the plus 4 method, which is even sillier.0 -
Any time.

I went last month. I was originally measured at 34 but the bras literally dug into my sides and I had to attach those extra bands in the back. I might actually be 36 or 37 though. I did measure my cups on my own and from what I calculated it came to a G. My bra fights fine in the cups. Is it because I have wide shoulders? I heard that could make you look smaller than you really are.0 -

Not only that, I didn't appreciate some of the guys here asking to show them pics. What kind of woman do they take me for? Do they think because I'm large they have a right to see them? That was disrespectful and misogynist, even if they were only kidding.0 -
My boobs are gone!! I wouldn't complain if I were you.0

it took me forever to loose fat by reducing my bodyfat% to reduce my breast size - but through diet, exercise I finally have managed to get them in better shape - not exactly a huge reduction in size but the overall firmness from weight lifting now after droping the lbs has been amazing. I actually can see my breast bones for the first time ever! it is possible, but you have to be consisent and patience.
I figure even if I had gotten a breast reduction, if i didn't change my ways i would be back upto my original size, so I set a huge goal and am working hard tomaintain it. I will never be exactly happy with my breast size - but I am able to do the things I enjoy and come to love like: running and swimming that i thought wouldn't be fun being large.
