    I have actually gone UP a cup size since weight loss and down band sizes.

    At my heaviest I was 200lbs/38D, then I was 150/34DD, and now I am 171/36DD.

    How quickly you lose the fat won't help or hinder how the body chooses where to let go of the fat. Mine have went from 44b to a 40c and I still have 30 lbs to go.

    I went from a 52c to a 38a. Am liking the number going down but not so happy about the letter!

    I did have weight loss surgery so my loss has been rapid and to not be too graphic I now have spaniels ears....can live with them rather than the 10 stone I have lost tho!!!

    You are supposed to lose your breast when you lose weight...breasts are nothing but fat...but I have lost 27 pounds and I still have the same size...I guess it varies from person to person.......and its not a weird question because I asked it before...trust me! :)

    Exactly

    To be honest if I can sort out the rest of my saggy skin through continous excercise and increased skin care routine my spaniels might be the one thing I consider having plastic surgery on, although my oh says they are fine......It is all a matter of what you find ok I suppose.

    Well, the one thing I don't want to lose is my boobs. :(

    I carry most of my weight in my stomach and face. My face is usually the last place that I lose, my butt and boobs are first. (of course.) I'm concerned about the saggy skin problem. I'm 45, so I don't have the "spring" in my skin that a young person would. I started out at 194. I'm at 167.6 now, and I have about 48 pounds or so to go. I'm going for 120, and then I'll see how I feel. I'm only 5' 2", but I know that odds are I will never be the size zero or 3 that I was after high school. Plus the hubby doesn't want me to be to thin. ;)

    Anything you can do (besides boob jobs and plastic surgery) to save the boobs and prevent the sagging skin?

    False, there is a layer of fat around it but the general composition is mammary glands for producing milk. Don't expect them to disappear with weight loss.

    I think everybody is different on where the fat goes first.

    Lots of push ups and chest flies will build up the pectoralis muscles underneath to possibly make them perkier.

    I don't think the rate of loss matters. I lost my chest mostly last. Didn't want to lose them, but I did. lol. I think it does depend on the mammary glands maybe. Some women probably have more / larger glands than others? I dunno. lol. But the fat is fat and will be lost depending on where your body decides to take it from during the weight loss process.

    I lost about 90 lbs five years ago. My boobs were pretty flattened out and at that point, it was pretty obvious they were lopsided too, so I had a breast lift and implants done. I subsequently gained all the weight back (because I approached my diet entirely wrong), but my bra size is the same today as it was 5 years ago after the surgery. I'm working on losing the weight again, hopefully for the last time ever, and it will be interesting to see what I look like since the implants won't get smaller as the rest of me does. One thing I didn't do with the last diet was work on keeping my chest muscles toned, and I think was a large part of the reason for the saggy girls. Hope that helps!

    I think you can lose in both the cup size as well as the actual number may go down in size as to the loss of back fat as well. I haven't lost enough weight to actual see many changes but I can now hook my bra on the first hook rather the last hook.

    :laugh: Losing weight is losing weight and you'll always look better with better proportion than just "large breasts".

    Mine decreased only very slightly the first time I lost weight a few years ago, but that depends on your body and how much you have to lose. I tend to be around the same ballpark regardless of my weight.
