Will my ribs go down if I loose weight?

Yes they will. One of the first things, before fat, that you lose is your bones!
I just knew I was doing this the wrong way!0 -
I actually know exactly what you are talking about... my whole torso is wide and this is why for years I considered myself "big boned" (thanks to my mothers wonderful supportive choice of word) ..... but when I had lost all my weight my rib area got smaller too.... they didn't go "down" but the area of my upper torso shrunk and looked normal.... nothing like I had expected thinking I was "big boned" I am not big boned I am and always have been FAT0

i think she means how broad her chest is. when i was skinny, i looked very thin framed in the chest but as i gained weight, my chest seemed to expand and made me look hefty. i am not sure if its the size of the ribs or just the layer of fat on top of them that gives them that stick out appearance, but i'd imagine they will go down back to normal as u lose weight.0

I think she means if she would look smaller and more narrow around weight? I am guessing.0

Super late for this but I was worried about it as well. I think what you are asking is if the rib cage will go from this:

(not a great example sorry)
To something you would see on a pinterest fitness board.
I don't think it is so much weight loss but toning your core/ body in general that will make them "go down", but I'm not a doctor so I'm not positive0 -
Your ribs don't change. I look like the girl in the picture. Some of us just have bigger rib cages. It's kind of weird, but it also makes you look thinner I think lol.0

Your ribs won't change position. But if you have fat covering them you will look and feel smaller as you lose weight.0
