How long did it take you to get rid of your back boobs?

I know you can't spot reduce and I already searched the forums but didn't see a similar post. I know that they will eventually go away but I'm just curious as to the time frame. I'm currently 242, down from 289.2 lbs, and I still have them, though I don't remember if they were worse at my higher weight. I probably avoided looking at them back then.
So, I'm sure most people don't have pictures but I'm curious to hear your stories on how long it took to reduce/get rid of them and what weight you noticed them going away.

Don't you just hate it! A pet hate of mine, I've lost weight and like you I'm not sure how much they have reduced, I'm told by others they have but I think we sometimes overestimate how bad/ugly the are based on our perceptions, well done on the weight loss so far keep your focus they must be reducing if your getting smaller0

Hi pal
I'm 5'5" and mine disappeared last time at around 220lbs. I remember thinking how weird it was when I looked and noticed they were gone, I'm looking forward to that again! 0 -
@plaffo786 Yes, they are terrible! Like Kalikel, there was a time when I didn't even know they existed LOL I think part of the problem is that we look at them all twisted up in the bathroom mirror and all that does is make them worse!0

@BethClicks Seriously??? 225 is my first MAJOR goal weight and that would be the best reward to look in the mirror and not see them! Hopefully, I'll still have my front ones at that point
I think you're right around the same weight as me so we shall celebrate soon! 0 -
I started at 187 and currently Im at 158... they are smaller but still there.... I really noticed them alot less at 140lbs but I dont know if they ever really completely go away, for me anyways i would have to be at a really low body fat more than likely!0

I second that on the 'front boobs' I've already gone down a cup size. I like my bum getting smaller, but I'd really like to keep my little boobies!

If i think it is what you are talking about ! Oh I Cant wait for them to go away, I had actually a double back boob, coming from 300 lbs it's no shock, but level 1 of the back boob are gone now at 225lbs ad hoping that by onederland they will be completely gone, ummm I'm not sure if mine are just fat rolls. Going to have to google it

@jmac4263 Thanks for the input! Maybe you'll knock them out one day! We're all so different, to be made of basically the same material. I'm hoping we have some good genetics in my family.
@Need2Exerc1se Another one of the lucky ones! I wish I'd never heard of them or knew they existed 0 -
@BethClicks I was a DD at 289 lbs and can fill out a C cup on a good day nowadays. They dropped suddenly but seem to be stabilizing so maybe it shifted to the back! I like my booty and my boobs but they have a rightful place in this world, UNLIKE the back boobs!
@karyabc I might have had those double ones, too
I'm not sure if I can handle a google image search of that one! Doing too good to induce major depression LOL It's looking like 200-225 can at least bring about a major reduction. 0 -

I checked. I don't have them. If I did at some point, I'm very glad I didn't know.
The front ones are in sorry shape...very sorry shape...but back ones don't exist. So yay that.0 -
Er...what?
I was 110 pounds overweight at one point, but I don't think I ever had these...or have any idea what you are talking about.
You may need to post an example/picture.0 -
Ha ha, I see that and think that the person just needs to stand up straight! Horrible posture!
If I ever had those, they must have been the first thing to go.
OP, what kinds of workouts do you do? Both swimming and weight lifting might be helpful.0 -
@Kalikel Lucky you on the back ones and I'm sorry for your front ones
@azulvioleta6 Lucky you, too! Looks like another poster put up an example and that's exactly what they look like. I'm fortunate that I don't have the second set but the top ones are at least a B cup LOL
@amyrebeccah Thanks for the example!0 -
I also recommend a really good bra. Old, stretched out, ill-fitting bras can make things like rolls and back boobs look worse. (Hint: Look for specialty lingerie shops where they have sizes in the FF-GG+ range. You might not be that size, but they'll carry better brands of bras and be able to size you accurately. There's a lot of people walking around in the wrong size.)0

Oh lord yes indeed, it was what I was thinking , I google it and it wasn't at all fun , but don't lose your hope, they will be gone ! Like I told you, I had major back boob like 2 levels of them, level 1 is gone and feel positive that by onederland they will be all gone forever 0 -
That is exactly what I call them! I have always had them, even when I was thinner. They weren't bad enough for me to be too embarrassed of them back then, though. When I get fat, they look like something that needs a bra, ahahahaha! I even wear a hoodie all through summer, just so that no one can see how defined they are. I can't wait to keep losing, and to get rid of them again!0
-
@karyabc Thanks! It'll be nice to see them slowly reducing and withering away
When they are gone forever it will be so much a non scale victory for me , strapless and razor back clothes are kind of a no right now, can't wait to be able to wear cute tops and dresses that currently don't look so good . good luck to you!

I had small rolls I wouldn't consider actual back boobs but Got rid of in ab 30 days. Those little back rolls are the first things to go on me

I never had back boobs per se, but I had thicker fat there until I was sub-145 and a visible slight bulge above 150. However, I'm 5'6". Height becomes really important. Much smaller than the picture, as I didn't have any rolls/folds anywhere unless I was sitting, but I'd never had anything like it, and it freaked me out.0

I think mine went away at around 180lbs. I am 5 '60
-
Thats when i had no line at all0

Are these related to front boobs? My girl friend has DD in front plus back boobs when she's only a little overweight. At my top weight, I'm a C cup with no back boobs.0
-
Lol - love the name. I started at 215lbs - and they were the first thing to go. But I don't think it's a weight thing, or time thing - it's a where your fat wants to go from first thing.0
-
I have always called them back muffins!0
