    My cup size didn't change with the weight I've lost (I had a breast reduction in 2005, so they DID change then obviously...). The number has changed. I was a 38C and now I'm thinking I am heading towards a 34C because the 36C's I have are on the last hook and a little bit loose. Honestly, I don't want to lose my boobs. They can stay just as they are. LOL

    Keep in mind, as a very young woman, that breast reduction surgery usually makes it difficult if not impossible to breastfeed when that time comes. My work is with pregnant women and those who have had it done had trouble making enough.

    since breast tissue is fat, if you get your body fat low enough i'm sure that they will shrink. your breasts just must be one of the last places that the fat is used from.

    however, i'm not a doctor, so you might want to go check with them.

    This is not exactly true. Breasts are not just fat globs on the front of women; they come complete with the equipment to feed babies. Some of us store more fat there; some of us have more milking machines. Genetics.

    But do talk to your doctor about breast feeding if you're going to get them reduced. I'm sure it can be done so that it doesn't interfere, but many women found out too late that the surgery that saved their social life in their teens deprived them of the ability to breast feed.

    I'm so jealous! I've only lost 17 pounds and mine are shrinking. They weren't that big to begin with, only a B cup! Wouldn't it be nice if we could pick where the weight we lost came from.

    agreed! i was just filling in a c cup before i started losing weight and now im back to b! scared that the more i lose the more ill lose in my boobs and end up an a!

    When I was at my biggest (220s) I was a 38D.
    Now, at my smallest (150) I'm a 36D. I really wish there was some way to target them because I feel that I look rather lopsided right now, like I look like an ice cream cone. A boob filled ice cream cone.

    Here is a useful looking site with the measurement details. It even has a how to video. Hope this helps someone out there. This way you can measure yourself instead of relying on someone who might tell you the wrong thing just to make a sale.

    Smaller boobs from weight loss can often result in deflated boobs. It's not pretty. Trust me, you rather have not changed at all. that being said, after 2 years, mine are finally looking normal after a LOT of exercise and patience. I went from an H to a DD-DDD

    Honestly, my boobs keep changing size as I gain/lose weight. I'm originally very small (34A) so when I gain a couple pounds, I'm a 34B. I guess it all depends on where your body loses/gains weight first. Unfortunately, mine is my breasts. :[

    I clicked on it because it said "Boob size" Ill admit it. However, I didn't expect to see any boobs here but with some of the things these women talk about on here it's sometimes worth the click just to see what the crazy story is this time.

    "Most men only post to say something like, "Look at my 6 pack", "don't these 'guns' look nice?" or "will she like me better if I have big muscles?" So, yea I find the crazy crap these talk about interesting!

    To the OP, yes, go somewhere else for your fitting. VS is not a friend to the big-busted gal.

    I bought new bras after Christmas, right before I started losing weight. I think they're 38DDD or 40DD, can't remember which. When I bought them, I had to fasten them on the first hooks. Now, 20 pounds later, I'm fastening them on the last hooks and they're definitely getting a little loose around the girls. I'm not sure what size that makes me now, as I'm not ready to buy new bras quite yet, and haven't measured recently.

    I'm hoping I'll get down to a 36C. I was a 36B for most of my life until I gained all this weight... but I'm pretty sure I won't get back down that low again.

    My boobs were the first place that I gained my weight, so I'm guessing they'll be the last to go. Damn boobs.

    Yea, I'm still a DD. It is starting to look really strange because my belly is getting smaller, almost looks like I got a boob job. I really hope they go down!!

    Ok Now I just wanna cry.. When I started this, I was SOO EXCITED that by boobs would be flyin' out the window.. and I would finally be able to buy a "regular" bra.. After reading this, my hopes have been smashed to a billion pieces.. *sigh*.. I, too, believe that as I lose weight, my boobs are getting bigger... which is REALLY depressing! I'd be willing to sell them if I could!

    omg !! we have almost the exact same stats!!!!
    i am 5'2'' - 130 lbs - and 36D
    i actually tried on some new bras today and the 36D was a little lose -
    34D did it --- so no change in boobs for me either. (right now)
    are you measuring your busts every month or so in ur stats???

    ALTHOUGH -
    when i lost weight the first time (like 5 years ago...) my boobs went from a size 36C to 36B
    so who knows????? I was obviously younger then and lost more weight than i have now.

    hope that helps!

    Couple of things:

    -Odds are that you weren't really a 36D to begin with. You were probably bigger and wearing old, stretched out bras that were 'sort of working'. So you've decreased in size more than you might think.

    -Even if you had a been a 36D and are now a 34D, your breast did get smaller right along with your ribcage. Otherwise, you'd be a 34DD or 34DDD. So take heart!

    -I don't think that VS does the best job of measuring people. And the style of a particular bra can influence the size you need as well. Try going to a good old fashioned foundation store and get properly measured there.

    You may always be busty. I am too. Even at my thinnest, running 25 miles a week and doing a few half-marathons per year, I never got below a DD.

    I'd be glad to take some for you :) The first thing I lose when I start losing weight is my boobs. Which really sucks because I don't really have anything to begin with.

    Mine haven't changed yet either. I'm also a 36D. I was a 36C and then they started to grow out-of-the-blue two years ago. I'm hoping eventually they will go down, but not sure. Our bodies will eventually take stored fat but we can choose where. Eventually, if we keep losing, our breast should go down. I don't really mind them being on the larger side of normal, but getting back to a 36C would be nice.

    OMG!!!!! That's pretty funny Steve!!!! LMAO!!!
    Ok so I have lost 30 lbs so far and my bra size hasn't changed! I started off a 36D and just got measured over the weekend at Victoria's Secret and I'm now a 34D. However, when I bought a 34D bra and tried it on after I got home, my boobs were still popping out of it! I am 5'5" and 130 lbs now with these huge boobs and I really would like them to shrink! Everyone says losing weight will do it, but it hasn't for me! I am a belly dancer and it's really awkward to have these big boobs and all I fit into are sports bras. It's very unattractive and I'm very self conscious about it especially when performing. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I get them to shrink without surgery?

    Thanks everyone!

    No rush on an answer. Take the weekend if you like.

    Losing some weight this time is the first time I've actually seen my bust size decrease. I was a 38D/38DD depending on the bra style and I haven't went and got measured but I'm pretty sure I'm at least a 36 around and my DD cup I'm still slightly overflowing but my D cup is actually loose (again depends on the bra style - one is a traditional close in the back and the over is a razorback that closes in the front.) However, even at 130lbs I was a 34 C and a BIG C at that.

    Had a reduction a long time ago. It was the best thing I could have ever done. Talk to friends and other to find a good doctor. I had friends that were nurses at our local hospital. They were able to recommend the best doctor in town. Everything was covered under my insurance. Good Luck! You will feel so much better!
