    I've lost 35lbs and gone from a 36DD to a 32D, but I hate how my boobs look now (out of a bra), I dunno what to do :(
    Boob job/uplift is my only option really but I'm not sure if I'd wanna do it... Worst part about losing weight!!! Le sigh...

    The trials if being female hey. I lost 5 kg and dropped a cup size although I am also breast feeding so that may have contributed
  • It looks like we're divided: some of us are happy to see the ladies decrease, and others want them to stay the same! I have a very large ribcage so my band size has always been pretty large. Before my major weight gain, I was a 38B -- I'm now a 40DD. It definitely makes exercising more challenging!

    Christine, you can have my boob overflow. I'll donate them to you!

    Sooo Hot.

    Donate them to me please, Drooling, when can i collect

    I've lost about 16 kg (34 pounds) and with it 3 cup and 3 band sizes in my bra's. Went from 85D to 70A. Pushups are my new best friend.

    I've only lost 11lbs but I've dropped from a 34C to a (now loose) 34A - think most of my loss was boobs haha! It's weird because I lost when I lost weight before, I never lost anything from my chest. I love it though, it's so much easier! Think of the advantages:
    - pretty much all clothes fit easily
    - not having to wear a bra all the time
    - no bounce issues when running/jumping etc
    - it's easier to find bras (and they seem to be cheaper and prettier - bonus!)
    - backless dresses/tops
    - shirts that don't pop open
    - sleeping on your front
    - skimpy bikinis are safe
    - storing things in excess bra space (lol, quilty)
    My only problem now is that since I'm small and almost flat chested, people assume I'm a lot younger than I am (I'm 19, it's often assumed that I'm 13/14). But hey, children's tickets are cheaper, so I'm not complaining!

    Pre baby 36B, Post Baby 38D lost 30lbs now a 36C....mostl back fat for the band size shrink...if I got back to a 36B I would be so happy because then you can buy all those cutie bra's not these generic blah bras....

    There are upsides to all things...besides my husbands hands aren't that big and he doesn't have any boobs so he's happy with whatever he gets....:laugh:

    Mine went on a very long trip down south :cry:
    I started out as a 44DDD (weighed 278) I am now a 34D. I knew my girls would get smaller but this is crazy and they sag so bad I am actually thinking of getting a lift.

    Yup, lost some of my girls too; it's always the first place that I lose weight in. I've had large girls for a while so it's a welcome change.

    But the real reason I am commenting is just to say how impressed I am with you ladies!!! There have been great success stories here!!! Very inspiring.... Great job!!!!!!

    I've gone from a 32H to about a 32FF with 28lb lost. They only started shrinking recently though. It's nice that my clothes don't just hang off them anymore! Can't wait to (hopefully) wear a DD!

    Well I had a breast reduction in April and now I am a high B. I was a 38 D for years and they never got smaller when I lost weight. Running feels amazing now!

    Honestly, I'm just happy that my nipples still point forward. "Eyes forward, ladies!" is my daily command/prayer. :P

    (No offense to those who don't have that body type. We all have our points of vanity, but that doesn't mean other shapes aren't good.)

    It took over 50 pounds lost before my ladies shrank, I was not impressed I had gone from a full 42DDD to a 38h and was like :noway: .

    Then all the sudden they started getting smaller and I am currently a very full 38DD. I am ok with that but was a little scared at the beginning that I wasn't going to lose any cuppage and was getting disproportionate :sad: .

    Now I figure they will be ok in the end, I just have to be patient along the way. My hubby was a little sad :sad: that they are getting smaller but when I pointed out I was still a DD even though they were smaller he seemed appeased lol.:laugh:

    Mine went from a 46DDD to last week I finally fit back into my 38DD VS bras!!! Happy dance.
    If I can get back to a 36DD or even my 34DD bras I will be happy. They are heading south but not nearly as bad as I would have thought after 154 pounds lost.

    Ha ha ha. I love this post! I, too, tend to lose some boobage when I lose weight, but it will be only a half-cup at best and mostly all band size, but I do miss when I was a full 36C. I'm currently between 36B and C and will end up at 34B when I reach a healthy weight. But that's not all. With a slimmer waist, the boobies are more noticeable, so that's far better than big ones hidden with extra padding.
  • At my all time high of 213lbs I was wearing helmets, 40DD. I have lost about 30 lbs and am back in my old bra size which is so much more comfortable....38D. I am so embarrassed of those bras that I couldn't even take them to the consignment shop, they were the heavy duty type, and expensive...and still like new. I hope they stay about this size now, due to being 56 yrs old now, and they are lower every year...but still above the waist!!! LOL.

    wherever yours went mine hitch hiked for the fun of it with them.

    They are gone and do not seem to be coming back.

    With any luck I will be having a consult soon with a surgeon to discuss restoring them to me along with the removal of loose skin from my stomach.

    I realize bras are prettier at the size I am. I don't care, I don't go around showing my bra to folks normally. I typically only wear black bras anyway or ivory colored. I would rather have boobs.

    Mine have definitely shrunk. I think it's natural since breasts are made up of mostly fat tissue, unless you have low body fact or do a lot of workouts focusing on that area specifically ... I would say it's par for the course.

    I see a lot of people posting that they gained some ... pretty surprising to me. I guess it must depend on the persons make up when they start. Maybe those people who only need to "redistribute" gain it there ... moving it from stomach, butt or thighs?

    2 words push-ups! I never had big boob (36C) at my heaviest, they were the first to go. I really don't mind the size they are now, 32B. I was a bit bummed at first but I swear push-ups perked those babies right back up.

    I am 35 yrs old, have 2 kids (didn't breast feed and I admit didn't have a ton to sag) but push-ups were a miracle for me! I have boobs of a 16 yo!

    So... Get down and do 20! Hehe

    I went from a 36DD to a 34C after losing close to 30 pounds. I can see why some ladies get bummed about it, but I was so thrilled to ditch those huge unsightly bras!

    I would love to lose mine, but that's the part of me that's stubbornly holding on!!! Even after a big fat loss (all of a sudden my clothes fit 10x looser but the scale stayed the same) and more muscle the ladies have held on. As I've gained weight they've grown. I'd be happy for them to settle at a 34 C or larger B...I was a 34DDD or 34E at my largest. Right now the girls are happily fitting into, if not a wee bit "sloshy", into a 34DD which I think is more due to losing retained water. I still have about 10 lbs to go but I doubt I'll see much more loss in that area.

    I am doing pec exercises though. How about we create a swap, all the woman who hate the fact that they've lost weight in their boobs can have some of the weight from the boobs of those who want to lose!

    Not gonna lie, it would be nice to be able to wear those tops with the bras built in to cardio classes. My BodyCombat instructor can wear those to class and I'm jealous! I mean, I could wear them too, I'd just need another bra underneath which kind of defeats the purpose...
