I'm losing my boobs. :(

I'm losing weight, which is fantastic, but along with everywhere else, I'm losing weight from my boobs and they weren't very big too begin with. I know there's nothing I can do about it but I could do with a bit of cheering up about it.

Just think when your waist and hips are smaller your boobs will look bigger. I would rather be healthy and strong rather than worry about boobs. A thinner, toned body is attractive also.

I really wish I could lose weight in my boobs >_< I'm large chested, and it gets to be such a drag.
The most I have lost is band size, not cup size.0 -
It goes from my chest first too and it stinks.... especially since my stomach sticks out more than my chest now! But soon my tummy will be flatter than my boobs. Yours will be too. 0

Me too... and I don't have that much to start with anyway
Good thing I've got some booty! 0 -
Unfortunately, we can't choose where we lose weight. If we could we'd all lose our gut first, but our bodies have different ideas (for me it's face, neck and moobs in that order).0

I've definitely lost a bit of my boobs but I feel like they will be proportionate with my body when I get to my goal weight. Plus I got an booty to make up for it.0

Haha! Yep, join the club. Plus side is I don't have to spend a ton of sport bras. I can get away with the inexpensive 3 or 4 pack whereas my larger chested friends spend a good deal of money on just one sports bra.0

Went to a stand up comedian once and he was complain bout women who have this complaint. He summed it up pretty aptly, "If they are in our face, us guys don't care if they are the size of bee stings or watermelons. It's all about placement."0

Me too. I'm apple shaped. I'm losing my boobs, my butt, my legs, my arms, but very little from my belly, from which I should be losing. Meh. stupid genetics. 0

same boat here. a friend of mine once said: anything more than a mouthful is wasteful! 0

Lost your boobs? I'll keep an eye out for them.0

I feel ya. (Well, maybe since we're talking about boobs, I should rephrase.) But here's the thing: I'm excited to be able to get the cute, smaller bras with little bows and lace and friggin' leopard print. Plus, it will be a lot less $$ I'll have to spend to get a good bra. It will all balance out for the new, smaller you.0

I struggled with this as well and for a while didn't participate in chest day type lifting. This wasn't a good idea as the weight was going to come off there regardless of my not working the chest muscles. I have found since adding back the chest exercises that at least they are perkier even if they are smaller.0

Me too I'm down about 45 pounds and my boobs have gone down from 38GG to 34GG and since that fitting they've shrunk further. I'm trying to take it slowly so that I don't just get left with droopy sacks of nothing but it is immensely frustrating. 0

I went from a 38 DD to a 36 C (not a full C either). But I totally get the droopy sacks thing I'm going to start doing chest exercises in the hopes that they will get perkier.

Look down inside the couch - I've found all kinds of things down there!0

I can't wait to lose my moobs.0

Think of it like this: "your" boobs weren't really yours at all. They were artificially inflated by the extra fat you've been carrying around. As you're losing the fat, your real boobs are making their appearance. Yes, they may be smaller but so will be the rest of you and you should find that they're perfect for the you that you have become.0

IKR? Me too. Actually the one thing that will have me decided on how low body fat % I want to be.

Lost mine a long time ago. Of course I had to gain 50 pounds to get any in the first place.......now I'm back to where I was, and worse.0
-
It's pretty normal...mine did as well, and sadly, one more than the other. Oh well...not much I can do about it, but it's just another sign that I've lost weight. Onward!0

It's maybe too obvious to say, but if you go down a band size, you go down a cup size too. For instance if you went from a 42E to a 40E, you'd have a smaller band AND a smaller cup. So if you went down five band sizes and up a cup size (say, from a 42E to a 34F), you'd actually be wearing a cup that is four sizes smaller.

I don't think it's obvious to many because women complain about the wrong part of it all.jenjay8045 wrote: »gluteusasssimus wrote: »I really wish I could lose weight in my boobs >_< I'm large chested, and it gets to be such a drag.

The cup size is the difference in the measurement around your ribcage (the band) and around the fullest part of your breasts. As you lose weight, they should both go down together which leaves you with approximately the same sized cup as you started with. Ideally, the difference between the two should stay about the same. At some point, the cup size might start to go up or down, too, because the band size is constrained by the circumference of your ribcage.
Really, you want your band size to go down. What most of us don't want to see shrinking is the cup size because that's the difference that defines "large" or "small".

Me, too. Mine are two little poached eggs floating in hollow bra cups.
BUT - I prefer being slim with poached eggs than plump with a full bra!!
Remember that we are so much more than a nice rack, and let's be thankful that our breasts are healthy, albeit shrinking!! 0 -
I have the same problem, but when I was very thin in my teens and early 20s they were real small too. It is discouraging but I would rather not be fat, I can't wait for the fat below the under arm to go. That's what I hate. Why can't that fat go as fast as the boobs.0

I love that! And yes! They are getting more proportional as I shape the rest of my body through weight training!
