    You seem an ideal size now. Perhaps tone and don't really lose too much fat.

    You are very very kind... if only I was the ideal size, unfortunately my BMI and my mirror tell me I am obese so I have a good bit of work still to go!! x

    Since you have - and want to keep - very large boobies it seems that you're probably always going to be in the overweight category of the bmi so you're one of the rare cases where perhaps the bmi is not an accurate representation of your health.

    I hope you are right... I used to scoff at my BMI saying 'BMI doesnt apply to real people like me'....

    now I see that was me just making excuses....

    I say that still regarding my BMI as something that doesn't always apply to real people :P and I'm working my way down to it. My ratio's aren't as extreme as yours I was a 20/42G-H at my heaviest, and I'm currently a 12/34G (I've lost 96lbs/44kgs). I have received comments regarding the loss of my bust size, but to me, I'm just getting smaller but staying much the same ratio wise.

    I imagine the same would be for you, yes the MASS will get smaller, but you'll stay much the same 'look' if you're losing weight and still looking curvy currently.

    BMi is a guideline based on averages. All people are real people. Depending on your health and aesthetic goals BMI may not apply to you in the same way as others (partly why there is has such a large range, but some people still fall below and above). This can involve frame size (extra large or extra small), having larger amounts of muscle, or a fat distribution combined with bone structure and muscle development that is still healthy (get into a detailed talk with your doctor on this, if you have a good doctor), or desirable for other reasons of your choice.

    You are beautiful, Beautiful face, hair, the boobies/curves. You won't lose that if you strength train, reasonable defect, be active, and monitor. Also weight loss is never permanent. If you dislike the results, gain some back.

    Also, there is the misconception that boobs are only fat. Not true.

    Thank you thank you and Thank you!!!

    You are very kind :) and have also done great at explaining the BMI stuff... I am your biggest fan for saying boobies are not just fat though! So many people have said to me that I will lose all my boobs once I slim down because my breasts are 'obviously just where I put weight on'! Which isnt true!! I was an F cup at 15! :noway: :noway:

    I am one of those girls hoping to lose some off my boobies and hopefully get to a 36C. I love La Senza but cannot shop there
    because of my chest size. Will get back to you though once I am closer to my ideal size (size 8).

    It really does have to do with your genetics/body type - at my lowest weight (116lbs, 5'5") I wore a 32DD. They did get a bit smaller as I lost weight but because the rest of my body was getting smaller too, they still looked proportionately big if that makes sense?

    I lost 50lbs and my boobs. But, when I gained weight there was a lot of boob expansion with fat accumulation. My oldest daughter lost as much weight, and not much boobage lost.

    She was bigger than me all along, and hasn't had pregnancies or breastfeeding to blame them on. In other words she started out X-large and I started out smaller before weight gain, and after weight loss. Her's went down, proportionally, with her size--some-- but she's still busty. Our normal I guess is still our normal without extra weight.

    Okay, not I'm not super toned, but I have gained a some muscle. I started out @ 225, size 20 pant/dress, and 40 D boobs. Currently I'm @ 169, size 10 pant/dress, and 34DDD boobs. They have not shrunk at all! It actually kinda pisses me off lol. I was hoping when I started that my huge *kitten* boobs would shrink as well, cause I've heard women make the complaint, "1st thing that goes are the boobs". So yea I think it is possible to be ripped and still have huge *kitten* boobies. Sadly once I get down to my GW, just 39 pounds away, my boobs will probably be huge still :grumble:

    I'm not ripped, but since I've lost some weight my boobs have shrunk dramatically. I was a 36DD and now I'm a 34C at best. And I only lost 25lbs. And the worst is that they do become kind of deflated looking, since there's not as much volume there to fill out your skin. This is the absolutely worst part of losing weight for me.

    My goal since being on MFP has changed dramatically and I no longer desire to be skinny as I have for the last decade or more....

    I now desire to be fit, toned, healthy, fat free and in the best shape of my life....!

    Except... I have MASSIVE boobies...

    Have any of you crazy fit amazing women, who have worked your *kitten* off to be the tightest and fittest you can be still kept your large boobies??

    I did a post around a year ago asking if any busty women who had lost the same amount of weight I aim to lose had finally seen the loss of their breasts... MOST said NO.

    I am now curious to know if those who have worked their backsides off in the gym, who now have abs and all that wonderful muscle mass and definition have seen any shift in their massive babylons?!!

    Lots of love your fellow large breasted lady :heart:

    [photo snipped]

    First of all, props for best use of "babylons" I've seen in ages.

    In my opinion, I love big boobs, but when I say "big boobs" what I really mean is big relative to the girl.

    It's all about the boob-to-waist ratio. A smaller waist makes boobs more prominent. For that reason a skinny girl with a C cup is just as impressive as a big girl with a whopping E cup.

    So yea, as you slim down, you will probably lose some boob, but you will keep the good (nay epic) ratio you currently have so you will still look great.

    I can't really speak personally because I'm still rather large. My sister on the other hand is 5'9, a size 2/4 and has 32 DDD. She's always been skinny but lately she's some weight and the girls got bigger!!!

    I think it just depends on the person. From what I hear, a lot of people lose weight in their boobs, but I doubt you'd ever go from a large bust to having no bust at all...

    I have always been chesty. When I dropped a lot of weight about eight years ago, it continued. Sure they were smaller, but in comparing them to my waist, still BIG. So, my theory is that if you are built that way, it continues, if you only got them when your weight is up, they will probably fade. Currently, I have lost a total of 24 pounds and have only went down one cup size.

    I went from a 38DD to a 34DD and kept the boobs! I'm not the super fit, toned, beach body and I lost the weight by diet alone. I guess I have a lot of mammary tissue?? lol.

    Happy to have the boobs although I wouldn't mind if they went down just a little. ;)

    Ah the boobies....My answer is nope! I wouldn't say I am crazy fit, but I am so close to being able to say that! I am down 23 lbs, I'm 5'2, size 4 and I'm still packin heat up top. My band size is down to a 30 but the cups are an F.........can't find affordable bras to save my life. have to go to the specialty shops for regular ones but I have yet to locate a freakin sports bra that fits securely under the boobs while still allowing enough space for the girls....... if anyone has any suggestions I would gladly take them!


    I think you are going to have to embrace your boobies along with me!

    I have a lot of weight to lose, still about 40#s. I've lost 35 so far and I'm sure 10 of them are in my chest. I went from a 44DD to a 38D so far. I wouldn't mind being left with a large C but my weightloss has been bittersweet for my husband lol

    Can you let me know of you like the bra when you get it? I'm considering ordering one too.

    i went from a DD to a B cup, so yes, I lost the a lot of my boobage. However, I'm still anything but flat chested and am pretty happy with the result. I always hated having large breasts as they get in the way a lot, so I'm pretty ecstatic.

    If you like your boobs though, and want to keep them, there are plenty of stories on here unlike mine where women lose a lot of weight but don't lose any boob. So don't fret too much.

    Best of luck!

    About 2 years ago I met my goal of losing 50 pounds. I lost my boobs. I went from a 40DD to a 34 Small C. And they were like deflated balloons. So, while I was unhappy to gain some weight back, I was happy because my boobs came back.

    I so feel the same! I really don't want to loose so much weight that I got no boob left. If only we could loose belly and keep the boobs in tact :smile:

    All this concern about big boobs...

    I get that y'all like what you have, but it just seems so superficial. A woman is so much more than her boobs, and if she isn't, well, next!

    I rather have a flat stomach than big boobs, but a tummy tuck was more expensive so i went with boobs :wink:
    If you wanna be those ripped to the bone fitness woman i think boobs will go down a alot, now you can be a fitness bikini type and still have good boobage left over. Not getting fit because of boob concerns is just silly. Good luck

    The answer to your question is unfortunately one that no one can be sure of until you start your diet plan/fitness regime and see the changes for yourself, because you don't know how much of your bust is fatty tissue already. It's dependent on your own genetic makeup. Personally I've lost 38lbs and have gone from being a 36D (UK) to a 34C (UK), so I feel I've kept proportion quite well, but my exercise regime has been very steady and low-intensity (4-6 hours of walking every day - I'm a dog walker) - you might get more of a dramatic change from high-intensity exercise and if you change to a very low fat diet, because you will lose fat predominantly...but again, you may retain a lot of bust shape if your boobs are mainly breast tissue.

    When you lose weight, you do lose some breast fat but if they are large, they will stay largish. I had a breast reduction a few years ago -the BEST thing I ever did!!

    I've lost 28lbs now, my breast had "grown" a little since my surgery and now they are back to when I had surgery. I've also gone done one band size which is awesome!

    Good luck!

    The common thing I noticed in people I know who have lost weight was, if they had boobs when they were smaller then they kept them when losing weight. If the boobs came with the weight, they lost them. I don't have large breasts, the got a nice size with weight, but I'm pretty much prepared that I'm going to lose them. You can do some pectoral exercises to help. It will put muscle behind them and make them appear larger, you just have to be careful IF you don't want the pectoral muscles to be seen (not getting the muscles too large). Some ladies like the pectoral muscles to be more prominent. I personally wouldn't work them too much as I don't thing it would look good on me. lol.
