    This is extremely individual. I've lost 38 pounds and can still wear the same bra. I'm using the inner hooks instead of the outer and the cup is a little loose.

    I haven't lost quite that much, 44 lbs, but I've gone from a 40c or d depending on brand and style, to a 36c... Quite a difference. Another 15 lbs and I'll probably be in a 34c, my newer ones are getting looser already.

    118 pounds lost, have gone from... something like 50+ J cup (hard to have an accurate measurement at that size) to 40DDD.

    Lost 60 and :( hasn't changed much. Granted my cups no longer runneth over and I have gone down to the tightest hooks, but still waiting for that day when I get a new bra fitting!

    I haven't checked cup sizes yet but I measure around the bust and after losing 82 lbs I've lost 6 inches in the boob area. My bras all went from being super tight on the outer hooks to being somewhat loose on the inner hooks and in the regular (as opposed to athletic) bra I can tell the cup is a smidge too big but thats all.

    I've lost about 100lbs. Went from a 38C/D(ish) to a 28A/B (pretty much I have nothing now. I often wear kids training bras and XS bralettes because those are the only things that fit me).

    Lost 25lbs went from D to C with extra room for more tit but I refuse to buy a B cup. It will probably vary I'm pear shaped at the top I feel like a skinny women and at the bottom I still feel fat.

    40B-->34C

    Though now I'm in recomp mode and in the past few weeks it seems like I am losing fat in that area, which makes me think my cup size may end up decreasing. Because of course the fat has to continue coming off of every single area except my stomach.

    I have lost 48 lbs. and have been wearing my old bras, just putting it on the first set of hooks and hiking up the straps. The tops of the cups are starting to bag, and I will have to find some new bras soon. I was wearing a 46D, and estimate that I should wear about a 42C now, but I will get a professional fitting.

    I've lost 61lb (14lb to go) and have gone down a few back sizes from 40 to 32, but still a G cup. Really hoping the girls shrink a little, at 5'1" I don't want to end up looking like a cartoon!!

    I have lost 47. I began as a 42DDD and currently am sitting at a 38DDD but I am about ready for a bra fitting. Just trying to get to 50 to do it. I don't think I've lost inches in the ribs, but maybe a cup. I hope so. It's a pain in the *tweet tweet* to find pretty triple-anything bras.

    Haven't lost any in the cup and 2 band sizes down so far. I struggled to find a bra that didn't ride up my back. Finally found Bali Comfort Flex...awesome bra! No more riding up :)

    In my first 25 lbs I went from a 36D to a 32F--so just the band size changed, but the cup size didn't change relative to that. In the second 25 lbs I went from the 32F to a 32C/D--so now I'm losing cup size.

    Words of wisdom: find a reputable bra fitter. It will change your life.

    I lost around 70 pounds. From a 38B to a 32C. I thought I would have needed an A but the bra fitter said as your band size decreases, your cup size increases (confusing lol).

    Yes! Your cup size is based on the difference between the circumference around your breasts and the circumference around where your band lies. If your band measurement shrinks more than your breast measurement, that difference increases and your cup size goes up.

    Geez, I was out of my bra within the first two weeks of joining mfp--its the first place the weight came off. I lost 40lbs at first, went from a 34D/DD or 36D to a 30D. I've gained a few back and have a 32C that runs a bit small that I can wear. But yeah, its totally individual and how you carry your weight. I mostly wear those stretchy fruit of the loom pull-over bras now.

    After 78 lbs I've gone from a 42D to a 36DDD, and that's starting to get loose now...

    I'm an apple shape-my boobs and butt have been the first to go, lol. I've gone from 40ddd to 38ddd after 25 pounds.

    34 lbs down and moved from 38A to 36B. Much easier to find in the stores.

    87 lbs lost. I don't totally remember my previous bra size but I think 42g?? I was also nursing so I was bigger for that reason too. Now I'm a 34c. I swear the only reason the cup size is as big as it is is for all the loose skin. Because there's barely any boob left it feels like!

    My old bras were 48DDD, but they didn't actually fit me. The cups were too big, but the extra room helped accommodate my band size. I really needed like a 54B or something, but it is very hard to find smaller cups in big band sizes.

    I'm now a 38C. My boobs have shrunk, but they look about the same - just smaller. They were never huge to begin with.

    Maybe one or two sizes down and I'm still a DD.

    *EDIT; I lost 67 pounds so far.

    in losing 112+ lbs I went from a 38H to now a 34C. Haven't been this size since middle school. It is incredibly individual, some women are luckier than others (depending on your perspective of course lol)
