    Bench press! If they were small before you put on weight, they're going to shrink. Bench press will at least keep them perkier.

    I'm kind of glad mine are shrinking. At my highest weight, I would be in total pain by the end of the day - my bra feeling like a vice grip (me, with no bra, at that weight was not a pretty sight!). Now, I don't feel any pain.

    Yes, boobies can be a pain. :( I experience back pain from it... it would be nice if my cup size go down to B. I'm 34D atm, and wanna lose 20 lbs.

    I hope you have better luck than me so far - I have 34DD now and when I was 20 lb heavier... 36DD. :(

    I just wondered if any of you knew any techniques or exercises to help me preserve my chest?! I'm terrified that I'm going to go back to being flat chested, and I don't think I could cope with that!

    Yeah, cause being flat chested is a horrible horrible thing. I really don't know how women live like that. :huh:

    So what happens if you can't keep your boobs? What are you going to do, stay overweight? Boobs are totally overrated. 50% of the population have them. Why are they so freaking special? They are just boobs.

    See my comment above - 34D is not a very common size, believe it or not!

    I was pretty average size when I started packing on the weight (large B – small C cup) I’m not gonna lie I have grown kinda fond of “the girls” when I started filling up a D cup, but that was the first place I lost inches 3 months ago. :sad:
    I think part of me liking the larger breast was because it took away from my larger belly so I hope that by getting in shape I will look proportionate & hot.
    If not VS makes a great push-up bra and I’ve already told hubby I have no problem getting a boob job :blushing: (I’m older and I’ve had my children, nursed all 3 of them, they have done their “job” now I just want them to look good!!) :drinker:

    Boobs are fat, you lose fat when you lose weight. Can't pick and choose unfortunately. Pushups and pec exercises can help the muscles and help them be perkier though.


    I hear this advice given to women quite often but is this actually true ladies? My gut tells me this one belongs in the "bro-science" category. "Bra-science" perhaps?
  • These exercises will help to perk up what you got!

    Said good bye to mine awhile ago. Shape wear keeps 'em respectable looking during the day. Sports bras make me look lean & mean. Otherwise, there's not much to talk about any more. :-(

    You just have to say good bye to them, you can't pick and choose where the weight to come off.. LOL

    I understand. I went from a 32 C and now have been measuring at a 30. I don't even want to know the cup size because I can't fit in a C. Getting smaller, and so are the girls :(

    When I first started to lose weight I was losing in the boobs. I was only doing cardio at that time. I didn't add in weights for at least 3 weeks. I have noticed I am starting to fill out the bras again even though I am still losing weight. I think weights for the chest area will help.

    But maybe I measured wrong, 30 is little.... But I also am 5' tall.... Will measure again:)

    Me too. These 34DD's on my 4'11" frame are ridiculous (though my husband would disagree). A perky B cup would suit me fine.

    As others have already mentioned, if you're losing fat, the boobs will go too, but I second doing some pushups to tone your chest.

    OP, you have received a lot of good advice that ranges from be happy with what you have to get a boob job. I will add something else that you can keep in mind for the next 20 or so years. Larger boobies are more affected by gravity. So once you hit middle age, you will be happy for your smaller chest. Just thought I'd put that out there. :bigsmile:

    While I can't show the real evidence without getting banned, or probably divorced, yes chest exercises have done good things for my boobs and the appearance of my chest in general. I've never had cleavage but now I have pec-cleavage.

    Snerf.

    It is true, though. You know how on bodybuilding forums there's always a guy who starts working his chest but still has a layer of fat over top and is complaining that now it looks like he has boobs? It works the same way for women, except that we're happy about it.

    A couple of pushups isn't going to do it, though, you need to grow the muscle just like anywhere else. And it's going to make bra-shopping expensive, because all the cute cheap styles only hang around 34-36 and don't go bigger than a B or maaaaaaybe a C. 32DD is online-only, in my experience.

    LOL! Sorry...I don't mean to laugh, but I went through the same thing last month. I have never been top heavy, but I finally found myself liking what I had. Now, they are disappering fast. It just happens for us women. The good thing about losing them is that you can tone them now. If you are worried about guys, don't. They love all boobs :)

    I was a 36B when I started losing weight, at least I think!

    Right now my bras are all too big and are uncomfortable. I just wear sports bras most of the time now and look flat chested! I have come to accept that they are not going to stay and I will be flat chested as long as I am skinny!

    unfortunately that is where I have seen the most dramatic changes as well. My hubby said he'd buy me new ones when I'm done losing weight... :blushing:

    Me too! I went from DD to B. Love the 'smaller' me. Agree wholeheartedly on the slight deflation though, that's not so cool but hey... can't have it all.
  • I wish I could loose my boobs, they refuse to go.

    I might have to turn in my man-card for saying this, but I don't mind a small chest on a woman if she's well toned and has done plenty of squats, if you know what i mean :)
