in Health and Weight Loss
Ok, so here I am - starting this journey again and I am determined to finish it!!!

I would LOVE to lose size in my breasts! I am currently a 34G (172lbs) 13 months post baby and 4 months post lactation (prior to having a baby>going on meds for PPD>gaining an insane amount of weight, I was a 32E at 140lbs).

I know because I have always had a larger bosom (I was a B at 14, C at 15, D at 16, DD at 17), I will always have the heavy chest... Will they get smaller? Ideally, I would like to be a B or C...

My questions are - How many of you lost size in your breasts and what size where you before and after? Also, how much weight did you lose to see or not see a difference?

    Down nearly 40 lbs and no real difference in cup size - just a couple of back sizes.

    If you've nursed a long time, it's likely that your breasts have a higher amount of tissue vs. fat in them, so it's very possible that they won't go down too much. But then you might be genetically fortunate and it's mostly fat, in which case you'll lose volume too.

    Clear as mud, I realize. :) Hope that helped.

    Of course they are made of fat. Even the same cup size in a smaller back size is a reduction of breast size.

    At the height of my nursing (for 9.5-10 months) I was a 34 H/I - it was horrible!!!

    I was a 40DDD, now I'm down to a 36C-D (depending on the brand). I kept my "size" but lost the fat. They look full and plump in a bra but terrible w/o one. Definitely getting them fixed after I hit my goal.

    Slight shrinkage but not enough to change sizes. I'm still a 34 C and it looks good on my body type. My sister went down a cup, though. From DD to D.

    yep. I had none to start with (36C). Now, I struggle to fill an A cup
    Small price to pay for the rest of my smaller size though

    When I was pregnant with my daughter, my breasts got HUGE. I went from a 34 C to a 36 DDD. I breast fed for 11 months and when I stopped, they went down a cup size. Now that I've lost nearly 40 lbs, I'm back down to a much more reasonable 34 (almost 32) D.

    As for you, it really depends on how much breast tissue to fat ratio you have. Only time (and work!) will tell.

    I had huge watermelons, now just itty bitty saggies after nursing two babies for a year each and then losing 100 pounds from my highest weight. Mine were so big that I couldn't lay on my back because I could hardly breath. Serious melons to itty bitties! And I love it.

    Breasts are filled with fatty tissue, so it makes sense that as you drop body fat, you would lose fat there as well. But just with stomach or hips or arms, you can't spot reduce your breasts. You might lose there first or not, but just keep going and enjoy your healthier YOU.

    I went from a very full 36C to a 34A. I wish they hadn't deflated quite that much, but I'm okay with it.

    What "shape" are you (hourglass, pear, apple, etc)? I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm pear-shaped and always lose weight top-down: I could have no boobs, collarbones jutting out, tiny bird arms, etc, but be hiding a giant padunkadunk and thunder thighs under an a-line skirt.

    Eh. Half a cup size...maybe a full. They feel firmer to me then ever before. It must be from lifting and the muscles hidden underneath. :wink:
