  • I have been every size (I was a K for a while!). I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, and it seemed that suddenly my body decided it had no fat to spare other than my chest, and it suddenly disappeared... I went from a D to an A within a few weeks. I think that once you suddenly start shrinking fast in that location, it probably indicates that it is time to stop losing weight.

    Oh, and yes... They sag. But that happens with age too. If they don't they have probably been inflated with helium. :)

    Only really gone down by band size, cup has stayed the same. Obviously, they're slightly smaller now (due to the band reduction) but as the rest of me is also smaller, I'd say that proportionally, they look exactly the same.

    I was really discouraged to find mine went up... but I lost a lot of weight and they were large to begin with... apparently by losing as much weight as I messed up my proportions. I started off as a 48DD and I kept the DD size up until a 40DD... then as I kept shrinking, the total mass didn't so right now I am wearing a 36F as I now understand that the backside vs cup is really a proportion and all DD cups are not created equally. It was a fun learning experience but I was really hoping to shrink cup size, not increase :tongue:

    but they did get droopier along the way so I have to heft them into the new bras

    I am in the same situation as yours and was planning to post the thread some day. Even I have to lose 50 pounds in total and my present size is 36C. Had lost about 18lbs 3 months back and did see the difference in band size but not the cup size. Am hoping it to reduce when I reach the goal. When I start putting on weight again, its the first place that gets heavier on my. Want to reduce it.

    Went from a 38 ddd to a 34 dd and I do tons of push-ups in Bar Method class, so they are perkier than before...

    DD to a C. They didn't seem to change until after I started lifting and then seemed to deflate.

    My back also doesn't hurt anymore.

    Interesting that it took lifting. I do the assisted weight machines but not free lifting. I'll have to start doing more weights maybe.

    I have about 50 lbs to lose and was just wondering how this would affect my boobs. Currently I wear a 38 E bra and absolutely hate the fact that I do. I think my boobs are too big for me and would love it if they shrank to maybe a C cup. Did your boobs shrink or remain the same? As you lost body fat did your boobs sag? What workouts worked best for firming up your boobs?
    It all depends. I am well endowed, and my boobs shrunk after losing 35 pounds. It's nice for me.
  • Everyone's breasts are going to react differently depending on how much actual breast tissue you have in them.

    Mine didn't change, even after 50 pound loss. I had to get a reduction to get them smaller. [36H to 36 D-DD with reduction.]

    They used to be up to my neck, now they're down past my knees. Just kidding. I never really had boobs in the first place. When I was pregnant, they were a 36D at one point. When I was at my heaviest not pregnant, I was a 36C. Now they're back to 34B. I don't come from a big-boobed family. When I lose weight, they're the first to go. Good thing I still have a sweet butt.

    I went from DD to D maybe a C. I feel like they are teeny tiny now compared to what they used to be. Even my ex makes fun of me. lol. They do however fit with my 60 lbs lighter size, so it works.

    ETA: I think they are saggy when I bend over. They look kinda weird to me.

    My boobs are always the first thing to lose, or gain weight. I really like the way they look as I get closer to my goal weight. :laugh: They're smaller but perkier!

    Didn't change much. They got a little bit smaller after my babies. But, still proportional, very perky and nicely shaped. I've always been small, anyway.

    I've lost almost 20 lbs at this point. They're smaller, but I'm still the same band and cup size. I wouldn't say they've changed shape, or if so, neither the boy nor I have noticed...

    I had previously lost 50lbs, and I went down about half a cup size, but went down 2 sizes in the band.

    I'll be honest, mine have steadily shrunk thorough the weight loss, but I also lost pretty much all the mucsle that held them up. Their very very saggy.
  • I used to wear a 36C, and now I wear a 24B. I'm very happy, and I love my small bewbs. :D
  • Mine are in a race to my knees. Smart money is betting on the left one!!:frown:

    Everyone is different!

    Now I personally DO lose boobage when I lose weight. It's just how it is. I've lost 2 cup sizes and I've only lost 10 lbs so far ( 25 more to go ). My band size hasn't change but I suspect it to go down to a 30 by the time I reach my goal weight. I have absolutely no idea what my cup size will be.

    I do know that they will be smaller.... probably by two more cup sizes.

    I expect to be a 32B or a 30C when I am done.

    I am currently a 32D. Was a 32DD pushing a 34DD before I decided to lose weight this time around.
  • Band size has gone down, but cup size still the same 44DD
  • Mine are exactly the same! I lost inches around......went from a 42DD to a 38DD in VS bras.

    Oh, forgot to mention.....I paid to make them stay the way they are and where they belong! hehehehe

    I cheated!

    I was worried I would lose mine, but went from a 42H to a 34F so not too bad. They definitely droop more than before and aren't as round, but not too bad. A friend got a boob lift but I'm torn as to whether or not I'd want to do that.

    I've gone from 38G to 32G so far. There is a little loose skin, but it's not too bad.

    I went from european 90C to 75C, in US and UK size that means 40C to 34C. (About 30 lbs of difference, mid 140's to mid 110'.)

    They got smaller, but the proportions stayed the same so I didn't lose in cup size. (Cup size is usually the difference between the breasts circumference and "just under the breasts" circumference. Of course bra manufacturers didn't agree on any universal standard to keep the fun of looking for your actual match. But it gives an idea of which size(s) to look for when buying a new bra. Also to point out that a C cup isn't the same size with a 34 band than with a 40 band, it's the same proportion but it's smaller, if you really don't lose anything in your breasts then you would go up a cup size when losing a band size, because the difference is increased. That's quite rare, usually the proportion of fat in breasts makes you lose or keep your cup size, but it's possible and there's some proof in this thread.)

    When I'm dressed they look bigger because my whole body is thinner. Nude there's a difference, they're smaller in a good way (meaning one I like) and you would probably estimate me a B cup instead of a C (I do). I took great care of them (avoid too hot shower, hydrate them daily, don't screw up with my macros, train my pectorals and neck, keep a good posture, never exercise without a proper support) and they didn't get saggy, in fact I'm very pleased with the change of shape. (They were more pear-like-bit-saggy, now they're round and firm.)

    It's difficult to sculpt them since the biggest parameters are skin elasticity and fat repartition and you have no real grasp on that, but posture, diet, habits, muscles of chest/shoulders/neck/back and hydratation definitely help make small changes. Then you just have to hope for the best.

    i've lost just over 50lb and have gone from a 42G to a 38G. My breast tissue is very dense and plentiful; they're not really going to go much of anywhere, sadly.
