The Girls Are Too Big!

My boobs didn't change size until I dropped 60 pounds!

I was a 46DDD before I lost 70 lbs, and I went down in bra size but not in cup size: I ended up a 38DDD. My breasts sagged so bad they hurt my back and neck. I had to wear 2 bras in order to go jogging. Sports bras were not even an option. I ended up getting a breast reduction and now w/ my weight loss I look totally proportioned. Now I'm a 38C. Not saying you should do that, but I feel your pain w/ the boob thing. I had the gaping shirts and the endless cleavage that pulled my shirts down in the front. Minimizers may help, but they only take u down about a cup size or so usually............

I have always had that problem even when I was thin. I have to buy a size larger for the girls or wear a tank underneath and leave the top couple buttons undone.

I unfortunatly have the same problem. tiny safety pins are what I use until I have the money for a reduction.

Ugh! I know! My boobs piss me off!

I totally understand. I always had big boobs. I was the first in school to start gettting them too. Totally sucked and had to wear button up shirts in 5th grade which is when they became very large if you can imagine.

I ended up getting a reduciton at 17. I couldnt wait any longer because I knew I would lose my parents insurance when I became an adult and the insurance paid for the reduction. I had been saying things about doing it for years though. My mom never got the hint untill I told her to make the calls! It was the best thing I ever did. Now two kids later I got alittle fuller but not much. I can tell though after losing 30 lbs that the size is smaller but not the cup so I need to buy different bras which sucks because its hard to get a D cup in a smaller number ya know

I watch What Not to Wear and they always say to buy a size bigger and have it tailored so the boobs fit with the rest of you and it doesn't look weird. You might try that with the shirts you already own so there's not a double cost. I've heard tailoring is not as expensive as it would seem. I have the same problem so I don't have many button downs. The ones I do own have a safety pin in the middle. Good luck.

If you read my profile, and some topics from months ago, I talked about a similar problem. I was a 42G at one point. Uggg. My first weight loss goal was to be able to buy a bra at Walmart or Target. Well, in June I finally achieved that goal! It took the entire school year, and almost 40lbs to do it, but I did. :happy:

I don't know what to tell you that will help.:ohwell: All the solutions I used have already been mentioned. They've already mentioned that last place gained is first place lost. It's so frustrating when our bodies don't want to lose in the areas we want them to. I'd love to lose this belly (2 c-sections later), and I would've loved to keep at least SOME of my backside. Unfortunately I still have the belly and no butt to speak of. (I know, tough problem, but it's a flat no butt, not an attractive no butt, so off to the stairsteps I go.)

Keep up the good work. It may take awhile, but eventually it will start to come off your chest, too. Keep on keepin' on!:flowerforyou:

I keep going down band sizes and up cup sizes so I feel your pain (I've lost a total of almost 70lbs in the last few years). I pretty much just don't buy anything that buttons up the front or I buy dress shirts that have a little bit of stretch to them (I've gotten really good at pinning them shut without the safety pins showing :laugh: ).
