Weight loss and boob loss

Not only are my boobs smaller (went from busting out of a 36 DD to barely filling a 34 C), but the skin is stretched out It's not BAD, but you can definitely tell that they used to be big. I'm thinking about plastic surgery when this is all said and done. Just to tighten up the skin, and if they get any smaller I may or may not get implants to keep a modest 34 C... eh, maybe D.

if losing ur boobs is making u sad then get a boob job. granted they wont be natural but if it'll make you feel bettter than go for it

I can totally understand how you feel. I have been losing pretty proportionately (bust & ribcage about the same loss) so far which brings it's own set of problems--it is hard to find smaller band, larger cup bras locally for many women. I still have about 30 lbs to lose & I know that if I lose my boobs I am definitely buying a new pair. It's all about being happy with yourself. I haven't done all of this just to be unhappy with the end results. I know that I'll need plastic surgery anyway to get rid of my loose skin.

I do want to chime in that if you are changing bra sizes due to weight loss, please do not go to Victoria's Secrets to get measured. They do a horrible job & their whole measurement system is flawed & will give you a bra that is too large in the band so your cup size will be wrong as well. Look for a Nordstrom's or a bra specialty shop in your area to give you a proper fitting. You can get sexy, well fitting bras at other stores besides VS.

OMG... I wish my boobs would go down.. I am at a DDD.. Dam.. But I know that I cant spot weight loss so I will continue until these things go down. I have had them all my life I will be ok if I go down a few cups!

As you can see in my picture, I am very top heavy. I've been big, small, big, and now I am going to be small again. I gain and loose in my boobs 1st and I hate to see them go. I had been skinny at a younger age and missed them at the time. But now I look back at pictures of me skinny and although they are smaller...a lot smaller than they are now. They were still proportionate and looked good. I guess what I'm saying is try not to get depressed about a number. I'm sure you look great with or with the extra on top. Take a picture and look at it, not the mirror. The mirror lies!

Can I just comment about your tracker. The amount of weight you lost is awesome and I love the transformation in the tracker. What an inspiration!

Hey ladies I'm getting really down about losing my boobs along with the weight loss. I tried on a dress yesterday and just broke down in tears, as its like I have nothing up top anymore compared to before. They were the only part of me I liked before losing weight as well.
I still have around 10ish pounds to lose and to be honest the thought of my boobs getting even more smaller is making me not want to bother, I know this is stupid but its how I feel right now.

Has anyone felt down about their boobs while losing weight? How did you deal with it? Thanks for any feedback xx

First let me say I I feel your frustration! It really comes down to 2 things (IMHO) 1. if you are actually a larger chested lady genetically (or more so just because you were carring extra weight overall) 2. Is your body fat on the lower side? I have been up and down the boob ladder seriously from my largest a month ago 34H! To my smallest 3 or 4 years ago 30B! As a kid growing up I never was considered small chested I was always "good sized" full C/small D but as I gained weight my cups grew which was pretty cool at first as the rest of my body wasn't really "large" yet I was just curvy without being fat. Then I just got plain fat
=-S

As I begain to lose weight my beast shrank...but I really swunk the opposite way and developed an eating disorder and had very LITTLE body fat and had very little breast tissue. As I began to get better and entered recovery for my E/D and gained weight my breast filled out a bit more and I think I setteled back into a C/D again...but I think that's because that was natural for my body once I accepted stick thin wasn't where MY body naturally wanted to be. Around 125 (give or take a a few) on me is more "natural" which means more like a size 6/8 not a size 0.

So, I said all of that to say that I think part of it is just nature, but the other part is being honest about your goals and what you are trying to achieve...are you trying to go against what your body wants to set some goal that you "think" you should? Only you know what is right for you and that may mean less boobs (naturally anyways). But you gotta decide what is most important your weight/size/shape (ect) goal or breast size. Sometimes we gotta pick =-)

Good luck to you.

felt a bit down at first, then I got used to it. Much better this way if some top part is loose, I can always use a different bra. the rest of me looks good in most clothes now so I'm happy ^^

I can identify. I went from a DDD to a full C. And I have nursed 2 babies, so the elasticity is lacking. I used to get sad about it, but honestly I have to think about how happy I am to be healthy now. Tell you what though, if I had to choose between a six pack and the rest of my boobs, I can deal with a slighty fleshy tummy.

And at least I still have my booty. And I can squat to my heart's delight and make it big, big, bigger.

I understand how you feel...I was always small chested, (especially in comparison to my butt) and after I lost the weight the little I had went with it.

I did try and come to terms with it and accept it, which I did for a while. However, I've decided to change it for myself.

I'll officially have D's in 16 days :drinker:
