Losing Weight Without Losing Breasts?

dsfrankl · November 2013

I'm currently working on losing some unwanted pounds but am afraid of my breasts shrinking. During the summer I lost a lot of weight and went from a D-cup to a B-cup, (and since then I've gained weight and got my girls back!) and I'm afraid of the same thing happening again.

All the internet says to do is eat right and do a lot of chest exercises to keep them perky, but I can't find anything on how to keep them large. I know that you can't really choose where you lose and keep weight, but does anyone have any ideas?

hmmm...nope other then implants

Breast are made of fatty tissue...it happens.

Only suggestion is get fitted for a bra when you are done.

My sister did that and stayed the same cup size but went down in band size....

Not possible.

Sorry.

That's just how it goes. Genetically it's already decided, you just have to wait and see. Even if you keep the same cup size and lose some width, because cup sizes actually stack bigger in each increasing size, you've still lost some. So I've gone from a 42 D to a 38 D. The D cup I'm wearing now is smaller then the D cup in my old 42's. My girls have noticeably shrunk.

Bra's are weird.

Just stay fat.

Are boobs REALLY that important?

I like a flat stomach better. And I have killer lady pecs

You probably only think you went from a D cup to a B cup. Probably your band size changed, and you only changed cup sizes. You might not have been a D cup to begin with, you might have been an E or an F if you have a small rib cage measurement. I bet your bands aren't very snug around your rib cage, and you probably have it on the tightest hook, am I right?

You should be properly fitted for a bra, and yes, as you lose weight, you'll lose breast volume. But since you're losing volume everywhere else, proportionally your bustline out to remain about the same. It would be odd if you lost weight everywhere else, but your breasts remained exactly the same volume. They'd be huge compared to your smaller body.

I think a lot of people don't realize that cup size is actually the ratio to the band size, not one specific volume irrespective of band size.

Mine are fake and they're still shrinking anyway so good luck trying to keep real ones from not shrinking!!!!!!!(mine aren't actually shrinking much, but it does seem like the shape at the top may be changing)

Exactly. I went from a 38DD to a 32DD. Yes, my boobs are smaller, but the ratio is still the same.

I wish there was an answer, but there really isn't. A couple of years ago I went from 34DD to a 34C in 2 and a half months. I was 5'3'' at 140lbs and went down to 115lbs. The only way to have fat in your boobs is to gain the weight back. I did, but it was never as nice as it was before. You'll hear a lot of people mention plastic surgery, I guess it's up to you to decide if you want it or not.

Sigh. Why is this so important? They are what they are. Guys like them in all shapes and sizes. Come on dudes, back me up here.

teganjessica · November 2013

I wish I could lose mine but no matter what I do to lose weight there it just doesnt happen ..............sigh

I like to think of big boobs as being the One Good thing about being fat, the silver lining. I'll be happy to bid mine farewell if that means I can bend my body again.

(And yeah, for the small breasted there is an endless supply of pushup bras, get a bra that fits and enhances ;-) )

You can have mine instead. I'd give anything to get rid of them.

I've definitely seen shrinkage in my boobs after my weight loss. I wasn't big chested to begin with, but I really can't complain. I'd rather have the flatter tummy, increased fitness and more toned body than the bigger boobs. I do plan on focusing on weight lifting after I hit my goal weight, though. Working on your chest can make your boobs perkier and appear bigger.

Personally, I think a B cup is quite sufficient, so I wouldn't worry too much.
