    The letters that describe cup size only mean something in relation to the band size.

    A 32D has much more prominent knockers, by comparison, than a 42D. Because D just means you have 4" of difference between your ribs and your nips.

    Quit bragging on your funbags!

    ridiculous- I'm a G cup and mine don't weigh more than 7 or 8 pounds probably.

    you are either happy with yourself or you are not, if not happy then change, if happy then good for you

    I've held some DDs before. I've also held dumbbells that are 10-20lb. The prior weighs nowhere near the latter.

    Is this a serious question????

    Edit to be more helpful: If YOU think you have 20 to lose, it's probably because you're carrying extra weight THROUGHOUT your body. Unless you're directly just unhappy with the size of your boobs, this is not it.

    put a scale on the counter, slap one on the scale and weigh it multiply by two and then you get the weight.

    One tit is usually slightly larger than the other. Just like balls. So you'd need to weigh them individually then add!

    Hooray for science!

    My cup size is larger than a DD and I guarantee that they aren't 20 lbs. So unless yours are bags of sand, that's not how much they weigh.

    On to more important information. Imagine yourself with your breasts at an A cup, taking their 'weight' out of the picture. Is that the body you've been striving for with your weight loss or do you still think you could lose a bit more body fat?

    I've imagined myself that way and I know I want to have a slimmer waist, more defined legs, less giggly bum and more defined arms (don't even get me started on my back). Don't use your breasts as an excuse to be happy with the status quo.

    Go to the grocery store and find a two ten pound bags of rice. Hold them up to your chest and make comparisons. Bonus points if you ask complete strangers if these bags look like the size of your boobs.

    No, I have not actually tried this

    I just did this (don't judge) I have M's and the larger one weighed in just around 10 lbs (I did it 3 times and that was the average). Now, if an M weighs 10 pounds there is no way a DD is going to.

    The real question is: Do breasts weigh more than fat?

    The only real way to know how much a breast weighs is to get a density test done on the tissue, find out the volume using water displacement and then find the mass. Those scales are going to be very unreliable since you have to guess as to when it's the breast tissue you're measuring vs breast tissue plus your torso adding either weight (if you're trying to drop it down vertically) or pull (If you're going to slap it on there so that it's perpendicular to the chest).

    Come on people, do any of you even science? :wink:

    Cup size is relative to the band size...a 34DD (me) is a much smaller cup size than a 44DD. But no way in hell mine weigh 20 pounds!!!!

    a friend of mine just went from a EE to a B and lost just over 5 pounds>>>id hit the gym

    Only 5 pounds?? I could have sworn my were heavier than that. I have often thought about throwing those bad boys in the fruit scale at the store but I don't think my kids would like that too much. LOL!!

    You should record this and post the results here...for Science...


    That would get someone a lot of FR's

    the things we do for science :laugh:

    Generally people have big breasts because they're overweight, not the other way around.

    I have weighed each of my breasts I am also a DD and they are about 2 pounds each. 20lbs is ridiculous!


    ETA: I used a triple beam scale.

    the best way to weigh your boobs is to step on a scale, then ask someone to hold your boobs so they are supporting their weight. See how much weight gets subtracted from the number on the scale when you do this, and that's how much your boobs weigh. Or you can cut out the middle man and just read the number on the scale while your boobs are being supported, and see if it's anywhere near your goal weight. You'll need to subtract the amount of weight of the average pair of boobs from the weight you read off the chart though, because the chart assumes you have average sized boobs.

    BMI charts are a load of poo anyway, you're better off getting your body fat percentage measured in a reliable way and base your goals on that. All the calliper methods I've seen don't take boob skinfold measurements, so having larger than average boobs won't affect the result, even though they will, in fact, make your body fat percentage a little higher...

    Yes, I do...I totally get volume and stuff...

    For comparison purposes, this is how much fat would be in 20-lb boobs. (not totally accurate as breast tissue itself is slightly more dense, but a lot of it would be fat tissue)
