Getting smaller everywhere but up top???

Has anyone had to get a LARGER bra once they started dieting? SW was 188.6 (D), CW is 171.6 (DD). I'm still the same 38 around, but I started escaping all of my old bras. And when I say old, I mean like 3 months old. They're the same kind I always buy, I've washed them the same way, hang them to dry like I always have...the only variable is the weight loss.

What's going on? Everyone always says that the boobs are the first to go. I've gained quite a bit over what I had @20. I even got back to my pre-kid weight and was still a size larger. It seems that with every kid I gain 2 sizes, then lose 1. But to get bigger when I'm losing weight? That's a first for me. Wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen, and if so--do you know why?

    Interesting. My number has shrinked, down to 45" now instead of 49" I was in early April (dont know what i was when i started in march"; but my cup size is the same and hasnt went down at all. Everyone looses weight differently; but to increase a bra size is definetly a new one to me too. Boobs are not the first to go for everyone. Everyone is different. I first noticed loss in my stomach, then it became my neck, then my rib cage area...

    Yeah, my thighs aren't budging either. Would be almost down 2 sizes if they were, they're definitely holding me back!

    Are you still losing, or are you in maintenance? I don't mind being a bit big on top, I have been for years, but I look ridiculous now. My sister told me I look like one of those caricatures that street artists sketch for you :)

    Haha I am still losing, I have about 20-30 more pounds to go! I am at 161ish right now! I know a lot of people like big boobs, but they are just annoying to me! I don't want tiny ones though, just some that fit in a bikini top better! Ex: I had to buy a xl top and medium bottom in my swimsuit!

    I've lost nearly 90 pounds with only about 10 to go and went from a 44F to a 36J. I think I *might* get down to a G (they are finally starting to go down a tiny bit) but I am not holding out much hope beyond that.

    It all depends on your genetics and how you are made. anytime I lost weight I would gain boobage. Sigh oh well I am not going to complain until it starts hurting my back.

    I'll have to let my sister know this--I definitely got the shorter end of the stick on both my mother's and father's side. She's a large J, and is also doing MFP. She's hoping to lose some up top, hates having to get all of her bras special ordered :(
