Boobs are finally gone, almost!

Hey all as a lot of you will know I have been using this site a long time. I spent 18 months loosing 18 kilos, and the last 5 in maintenance. I am very happy with this result and I feel great. But I did loose weight all over except my boobs. Anyway, just this week I have noticed that they have shrunk suddenly! Now I have not lost any weight for a couple of months, and i am not trying. So my body is still changing in maintenance. My remaining fat is redistributing around, it would seem. And the boobs were the last to go. Has anyone else noticed these kind of changes? I have been using an abs workout thing for a few weeks. Could this have caused the change?

Yay! Recomposition!
I finally lost my boobs when menopause concluded. They were insane for awhile.0 -
I miss my boobs ...have readjusted to a C cup with some disappointment0
-
That happened to me: I lost about 40lbs or so, and for a while my boobs were 34Ds. Then (I forgot to notice them for a while) suddenly they were 34Bs. Which was also fine, just surprising!0

@tabletmfp, you sound happy with the results, so many congratulations!
Small (possibly silly) question, for anyone to answer if they can... but, can/does "recomposition" happen regardless of exercise?

Yes I'd like the answer to that too. I'm not doing any exercise except this abs bar at home most days. And yet the boobs deflated despite no weight loss. I think the fat just moves around the body so that no part is way out of proportion to the rest?0

IDK, I lost most of mine within the first month of weight loss...0

boobs seem to go last for a lot of people so that's unusual?0 -
Does this mean the last fat on my belly will disappear too at this point? God I hope so!0
-
Nope, they were the first thing to go. Went right from a 34D/DD or 36D to a 32D and ended up with 30D at the end. Lost about 9 inches from my chest.0
-
Mine never changed but I see traces of my top 4 abs and my lower biceps popping when I move my arms!0
-
I lost most of mine. Still a 32DD or maybe a 32D (as some of my bras might be slightly too big).
A lot of that is due to breastfeeding my 17 month old and dropping 17lbs in 3 months. My milk supply has been pretty low since before I even started trying to lose weight. I'm interested to see if they keep shrinking after I wean.
Pre-pregnancy I was a 32DD, but they seemed bigger than they are now. During pregancy I was a 34F....then 32G after while breastfeeding exclusively.
I went down to a 32F when my supply started dropping when I was back to work....and I'd been that size for the past almost year.

Apparently recomposition did happen to the OP without significant exercise, but the context in which I am familiar with recomp does include strength training. There's a thread on this I see posted often; perhaps someone will come along with the link.0 -
I hope I lose my boobs. If I don't, I'm getting plastic surgery to make them smaller. I hate being top heavy.0
-
I was in maintenance over the summer, lifting heavy-I definitely saw some recomping. My breasts were pretty much gone in my first 10 lbs though.0
-
I have lost around 30+ pounds and I still have mine. I don't want to lose them. The other day I noticed that they may have gotten slightly smaller and it made me kinda sad. We've been together since 8th grade (14 years!). I've only got 10-15 pounds left to lose and I hope it will come from my abdominal area and thighs.0

Went bra shopping yesterday and was surprised to see I've gone from a 42DD to a 36D - I actually thought I'd be a C, but I was spilling out of that. Looks like i still have boobs, so that's cool.0

Thanks, @kshama2001! I'll take a look around also.
Not quite the same as a recomp, but the first time at my current weight, I swear my thighs were a different size, and fast forward to me losing weight and getting back to the same weight, thighs are a different size. Fat distribution seems to be different each time we gain/lose weight, lol.

I was an A- B cup when thin, a C when fat. I prefer the bigger version. Whenever I lose weight my breasts are the first thing to shrink, sadly.0

You need to run a progressive resistance program in order to run a recomp0 -
I can't miss what I never had.
Also - Congrats on your loss!!0 -

My boobs are naturally so large that I look forward to losing them with the weight. Even at my goal weight they are rather on the large size - I want to get to goal and maintain so I can have surgery to reduce them! I wish I could say, "I miss my boobs." My problem when I lose weight is that I totally lose my bum! It just becomes a pancake! But, that's a discussion for a different thread. 0

Hear, hear! The last time I lost weight I DID lose my boobs, but there was PLENTY left and I still wanted surgery. At my tiniest I'm a 32G - ridiculous and hard on the back. I'm trying to lose a bit of weight but the boobs won't shrink as much as the rest of me. I'd give anything to be a C or D cup. Ugh.0 -
Yep, I lost >165 lbs and hit my goal weight 9 months ago, and though my weight hasn't really changed much body is still moving stuff around. I actually lost a lot of boob volume, then they seem to have filled back up somewhat (e.g., my bras 9 months ago had air pockets sometimes, now they don't) while my abs have leaned out. Then thighs leaned out, then butt got bigger. Curvy AF right now, who knows what tomorrow may bring.
Recomp sure (I work out a lot), but also body just all like "I dunno. How about THIS?!" Bodies are weird.0 -
Yay! Recomposition!
I probably shouldn't have used that term. I meant it more generically than the weight training context. As far as I know the only way to systematically recomposition is lifting heavy.
But less targeted recompositioning just sort of happens. In my case it was obviously hormonal. The body sequesters estrogen in fat cells during perimenopause. Finally, at the conclusion of menopause, the breast recompositions and fat cells are evacuated once & for all. My breasts are going back toward the c-/b+ I had before babies & breastfeeding.0 -
Well something to hope for then 50-ish lbs to lose and they sized me into a 34H recently. Which is aggravating on so many levels. Some say never too much boob, but it's here--it's just too much. If I can get to an E or an F I'll be okay, though DD would be pretty danged fabulous. 5 years ago when I was about the size I want to get back to I was something like a 30 or a 32F. That would be fine. *crossing fingers* Maybe at maintenance I could be a DD after everything settles down...0

OMG yes. My people, I hear ya. I probably won't spend the money, but I'd be sorely tempted if they don't reduce in volume.
BOO-bs! 0 -
I would be ecstatic if I lost mine... or if people would at least buy into my story that they are just really muscular pecs.0
-
The only thing that happened for me was my band size went down. The cup size stayed the same.0
