My wife was texting me earlier complaining about her boobs getting smaller as she loses weight. I told her that if they shrink when you lose weight then they weren't supposed to be that big in the first place.0

I just like boobs.0

I started off with DD at 150lbs and by the end of my journey i was a A and 108. I bounce back and fourth though during my bulking and cutting cycles. but i haven't owned a bra larger than a B in 2.5 years.
Yeah, but you're ripped! Well done!
Haha, well thanks good sir!0 -
Even after I dropped almost 60 pounds, my boobs never shrank. The band size went down, but not the cup size. Now I've gained almost all of that weight back and they haven't changed at all. I don't know why mine never left, but I kind of wish they would have. I don't want saggy boobs, but I'd be happy if I could go down to a C instead of a DDD.0

I believe, for the most part, it depends on where your body stores essential fat.
- the general shape of your body applies here.
If you tend to be heavier around the hips, you'll lose some fat there but it'll likely be harder to get rid of then in your upper body.... Alternatively, if your body tends to store fat in the upper body, then it'll likely be harder to remove the fat there (i.e. you'll probably still have boobs since boobs are essentially mostly fat stores). If you have a fairly even distribution of fat (I'm going to say hourglass shape but those body shape chart things don't really mean anything) you should be able to, for the most part, maintain a similar breast/waist/hip ratio. Your overall size may shrink but your band size should shrink with it. I used to be a fairly large size but after losing some weight, everything got smaller, but at the same rate. My cup size dropped one size (I'd always been borderline anyways) but I lost 4 inches around my waist to compensate.
That being said, if you are aiming for a % body fat number that's pretty low, if you're considering % body fat, you may loose some of the size, but I'm fairly certain that's only if you're aiming to drop below 18%. Don't take my word on that though.0 -
Everyone is different. If you have always had them chances are you won't lose them all. If you gained boobs as you gained weight chances are you will lose them when the reverse happens. If you have any slender female relatives you may be able to get an idea from their shapes also.
I've had them for as long as I can remember, 70 lbs lost. I've lost 8 inches around the band but kept the cup. I can't see that I will get very much smaller. Quite frankly I'm praying that I can get to a NORMAL size so I can stop having to spend $80 every time I need a bra because the Victoria's secret has 32 band but only goes up to DD cup and the big girl stores have DDD cup but only go down to a 38 band so there is NOWHERE around here to buy my size.

I have people on my friends list who have lost a dramatic amount of weight, but they still have a sizable bra size..even when their breast size went down, relative to the rest of their loss, it looks the same, or even actually bigger now that the rest of them is so much smaller.
On the other hand...my breasts were the very last place I gained weight, and were the very first place I lost weight. Only 18 lbs down, and have gone from 36C..and for a short while at my heaviest, a 36D... to now swimming in my 34Bs. We dont all gain or lose weight in the same places... There are plenty of small women with a large cup size, and larger women with a small cup size.. its genetics.
But I reckon, if youve lost 40lbs and your are still pretty much the same there and close to goal, then your body isnt planning to get go of them. I think also, if you are an hourglass or apple shape, the odds you will still have sizable breasts, in comparison to the rest of your body, is greater than someone like me who is a pear shape...whose upper body is always small to non-existent compared to the rest of my body, or a banana who is consistent straight up and down.
In other words..dont worry. Esp since youre so close to goal....regardless of size, the dimensions themselves like your breast to waist to hip ratio will always be there.0 -
I'm here because bewbs-2

so I'm getting super close to my goal and while that is very exciting I can't stop worrying about the fact that i could lose my boobs. I'm a c now and I've lost almost 50 pounds. so basically I'm asking if i haven't lost them yet will I ever?
Even if you did lose them, no one cares. It won't change who you are, or how the opposite sex responds to you. Boob size does not matter.0 -
FWIW after losing 18 pounds I went from a DD to a D. I think I'm a D (getting measured this weekend, there's way too much room in my bra).0
-
Mine stay put until I get pretty low on the BMI scale, below 20. But it varies for everyone and it depends on where you store fat. I haven't been smaller than a DD since I was 14 or so, and when I do lose they're still that big, just smaller than before, so I know that's just where I carry weight.0
-
I recall when I first went from 160lbs to 130, I went from a C to slightly larger than an A. I'm currently a full B and I know that they're gonna shrink the more weight I lose.
However, my body likes to lose weight from the belly-button up, first, no matter what I do.
That being said, it means my arms tone up pretty fast, and I actually prefer how I look with a smaller chest, but that's just me. I think you're just at the mercy of where you body likes to give or take.0 -
I doubt they will all of a sudden shrink drastically. Maybe a little as you get a lower body fat %.
When I was around this size before I gained I was a solid B cup. Now I'm having trouble finding a good bra,.. 36C works for the cup but the band is to large,.. 34C works for the band but the cup is to small .. 34D is missing in action (yet to find that size in a regular store) Guess I'll have to give in and go to a specialty place.
Still crossing my fingers and hoping for a little shrinkage as I drop my last 5-10lb.0 -
Another part of the equation that I haven't seen mentioned here is age and hormones. Women's breasts will often grow larger as they get older and closer to menopause due to hormonal changes. I was an A cup or "nearly A" for most of my life and when I hit my 40's the girls decided to get with the program and grew to a C, then to a D almost overnight (with no significant weight gain elsewhere). Gaining and losing weight when I was young did affect the size of the girls, but after I got older it hasn't been that much of a factor.0

Im hoping that it IS the case! LoL!!!! I need something to look forward to here!!!!! Im very small (when within my normal weight range) as well...if I get to have breasts that I actually get to keep when I hit my 40's..then I'll tell you what, come on 40!!!!!
ETA: Awe...I just did a bit of research, not much, but enough to see that the increase in breast size in many women later in life and especially after menopause was due to weight gain. Well, there goes that...!0 -
Mine haven't changed yet. I'm hoping they go down quite a bit, that way I don't have to buy as big a chest binder (won't get one till I've lost a good amount of weight, cause then I'd just have to buy another one).0

I've lost 90+ pounds.
The girls are going nowhere. In fact, they seem MUCH bigger because I have lost everything around/below. Boob loss is sad, but it does not happen to everyone.0 -
Oh god I hope mine get smaller. Please oh please get smaller for love of my back!0
