boobs

Yes. I have gone from an F to a DDD. Bra shopping is much easier and less expensive now.

BTW wasn't referring to anyone here with the wrinkle comment!

Yep, mine are like football socks with tennis balls in the end. Or five day old deflated baloons.

But bras sort me out! Just gotta keep the light off...

Victoria's Secret salespeople have NO idea how to fit you. I went in and since I'd lost so much weight, I said ok, measure me... She never told me the size, but came back with 38Bs. Once I was done laughing, I strapped the bra across ON TOP of my boobs. No way, I'm a 38 band. So she said ( with a bit of a sneer ) what size do you want to try? I said 34D. She said the band would never go around me. Well, they fit perfectly. When the salesperson checked on me and I showed it fit, she asked "are you a weight lifter or something? Weight lifters have large shoulders and make fitting bras harder"

PS - for comparison sake, I started at a 42I.

You give me hope. I'm a 42I. One day I wish to see a D again. Thank you.

... they use a bowl shaped thing to measure your breast tissue volume.

They might use a bowl to measure most women's boobs, but they'd need a yardstick to measure mine!

I've lost 80 lbs so far, and went from a 50DD to a 44D. When I'm at the weight that's good for me-- around 120 lbs-- I still have large bazankas for my size-- usually 36C. Mine sprouted when I was in 5th grade, and by the following year, they were larger than my teacher's (and she was well-equipped). Except for a fleeting moment when I was 11, my boobs have always been sad. They are pessimists; they never look up. There is no word in the English language to describe the way they droop. My skin is so loose that I can tuck the twins into the waistband of my jeans! But the worst was when my hubby rolled over on one of them in the middle of the night, thought it was the quilt, and tried to pull it over his head.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: oh my bladder....

With regard to boobs, mine have always been on the small side. My cup size has stayed the same from 150 to 344 and everything in between...it's just the band that changes for me.

I wore a 42 C almost a year ago.. I've been constantly going down and did the reddit bra thing the other day.. don't know the link.. it said my perfect size is a 34 D.. I thought no way did I go up a cup size cuz my boobs are so small.. bought 34 D's yesterday and they fit perfect!!

Same! Thought my boobs were shrinking! Went to Victoria's Secret to get fitted. Lady said 36D. I said no no,my bras don't fit and I've been a 38 C for a few years. She said,looks like you just lost bust size,good for you! But cup size isn't just about how far you stick out,lol,but also how big around you are,your boobies I mean

That's normal to go down in bust size and up in cup size.

So, repeat, because I think this site clearly explains it.

I have only lost about 17lb but I have gone down from a 40f to a 36/38d and can now wear a strapless bra. The reduction in size is very noticeable. It is very strange being able to look down and see my toes. I like it. My husband does not.

yep me too and panties. felt like I was walking around with a light load in my shorts for a bit. turns out, my undies didn't fit anymore! I honestly laughed out loud when I reached back there wondering "what the heck" and realized my *kitten* was not following me, it was my empty underwear! looking forward to that happening several more times before I am done!

LMAO!!!!!!

Yup, they don't know how to measure you in VS and I think their bras are crap. I went into a store years ago to get a fitting and the woman came out with a size that was nowhere near to what I should've been wearing. I couldn't even get one boob into that thing. I shouldn't have to argue with the "professional". I went a few years after that and got a professional fitting and it was night and day, night and day. I was about a 38 F then. You don't have to buy anything at these fittings, but it's hard not to when your boobs look and feel so great. What I now do is buy the same size and have experimented in brands in places like Nordstrom Rack, Centurty 21 and dearly departed Loehman's. I also use herroom and other sites and troll the clearance section. I can't be buying 100$ bras!

I remember when I lost a lot of weight during high school (before I gained it all back) and my boobs were the first to go. I went from a C to a B in about 6 months. When it comes to weight loss, the fat I wanted to keep the most was like, "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!"

HA! Yep, same here.... pretty annoying!

I saw my pain management doc today. I have orders to see my family doc asap to get the ball rolling for a reduction. She said with the humpback and losing three inches in height I can't wait for weight loss to see how my boobs are affected.

Wore a 36E two years ago, down to a 32D now.
Do you know how freakin' hard it is to find the 32 band size in anything bigger than an A cup? I still feel like I can't shop in the 'normal' bra stores.

curvy kate, panache, wacoal, freya ..i'm 34 or 32 H/HH/I depending on the bra (yeah i have to do a lot of trying on) and here are lots of options in multiple styles. try nordstrom, bloomingdales or lingerie shops

Not so much. I've lost 3" on my band size (it was 38" now 35" so I go with a 36) but I'm still spilling out of a D! My undies however are sagging pretty good. lol time for some new stuff. Eek.

At the beginning of my weight loss, I was greatly overflowing my bras, because I refused to buy larger sizes.
The bras fit better now, but there is flab, squeezed out in the space under my arms.
I'm getting married, and when I need to buy my sexy lingerie,
I will disguise the droopiness with shelf bras or nipple-less bras.

Yes, fellow Flattie here I was a 38 C, and after losing 50 lbs, I'm a....well, I don't really know my new size yet. I can't even fill up the replacement bras I bought when I thought I was done losing weight. Now, the girls are small (tiny! nearly nonexistent!), yet quite perky. My old boobs went well with my old body, and I think my new boobs go well with my new body I'm getting used to them, and the tradeoff was definitely worth it!!
