Ladies, did you loose your chest?

Not a huge difference in measurement. Lost about 28 lbs and am 20-30 lbs from my ultimate goal weight. Bust measurement is maybe 1" smaller. Still wearing the same bras. I might be able to go down a cup/bra size when I lose more weight.
My breasts look bigger even though they aren't because my waist is 5" smaller/flatter.
I don't care if my breasts end up a lot smaller. I just want to be a healthy weight.

I've lost a lot in my chest, but I am still top heavy. It all depends on your fat to tissue ratio & how your body loses. I didn't do a good job tracking my measurements for my whole weight-loss, but for the last 43 lbs (my re-loss amount), I have lost almost an inch around my bust for every 10 lbs. So, altogether I've probably lost about 12"-14" in my bust for my 130 lbs.

Ugh no.

I started out wearing a 36 D and now I'm wearing a 30 F. AN F CUP.

So no. I actually sort of wished that I would have because now I have to buy specialty bras that are really expensive.

This.. Except I went from 38E to 28H.

I found a local boutique that can take all my money and order handmade Ewa Michalak bras for me, otherwise I'd be wearing duct tape.

@Khatastrophic, You can order directly from Ewa as well http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/ in case that's cheaper for you. Even if she doesn't list your size, she might make it for you if you ask. So far she hasn't ever said no to me on size & style, just when I've asked for a style in a fabric that's not listed.

Yep, nearly lost everything. Chest size down by 8", three cup sizes lost. I'm almost the same size now as my very slim, petite teenage daughter. And I still have more weight to lose so I am expecting to lose yet more from my bust.

I'm not bothered as my smaller chest is in better proportion with the rest of my body and I hated having a larger bust anyway.

My husband on the other hand is greatly saddened . . . .

If it wasn't for the actual SKIN left, I'd be flat. Flatter than flat. I went from being a heaving 36/38DD to a 32A. In fact, I currently own -1- bra that isn't a sports bra. And the sports bras that I do own barely fit, as it is hard to find them in XS... And I literally bought the bra two days ago. It is a push up, so you'd think my extra skin would give me more cleavage, right? Wrong. Empty Boob. Still has some space left in that lil bra, too.

FML.

yes I have went from a 56 DDD to a 44 DD, I have lost lots of inch's and fat around that area.

I think it all depends on how your body likes to distribute fat, as teenager my thighs chubbed up and then my boobs grew, not so much my hips. As I gained weight later in life it went on all over but probably tummy & back last. My hips and waist are slimming down nicely but the back & tummy fat were the first to go. I've gone from a 40 back to 34/36 back and each time had to go up another cup size as the boob volume has stayed the same. Only now are the boobs thinking about giving up any fat and I finally dropped one cup size after increasing by three!
I've become a regular at my local Bravissimo store, as during weight loss I think that you need to have a bra fitting every time you buy. The money spent on well fitting underwear helps you appreciate the changes you're making to your body all the better.

thank god they have shrunk a couple of sizes.i'm hoping to lose a few more sizes by the time i'm done.they only problem is how deflated they look.

I'm losing mine, but I'm actually okay with that. I started at around a D cup, now that I'm 70lbs down I can squeeze into a B. I have another 130lbs to lose, and I might be in negative cup sizes by then.

I'm very disproportionate, though. My hips and thighs hoard fat, which is why my collarbones are slightly beginning to show already at 300lbs.

Im still the same cup size, for now, but band size is smaller- YAY!

Well, no, not completely.

I still look feminine.
According to some, I look even more feminine at a smaller size.

To a certain point. I've always been a D cup proportionally, but I went from a 42 to 38. If you're worried about sagging, build up your pecs.

My collarbones started showing early, too. Now I feel like Skeletor on top some days, but I still got one heck of a booty. Sucks that our body eats fat from where it wants to.

Something like 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size anyway. I was. I thought I wasn't...I thought I knew my size (36C-36D lol). But the past few years my back started hurting. I'm 5'6" and 157 lbs, not significantly overweight, so I researched online how to take my measurements. I laughed at the weird size it spit back at me, went to the store to try that size on just for fun, and lo and behold...that funky 34FF or 32G (34H or 32i in US sizes) fit like a glove. Most of us are wearing an incorrect size, especially if we are wearing old bras and haven't been measured by a profession. (VS doesn't count as professional fitting.)

It's important to remember that the underbust (around your rib cage) is a measurement of the band size and will decrease with smaller girth. However, the cup size may or may not decrease. For some women it goes up because there is more "depth" underneath that needs to be filled in a smaller band. The cup size measurement can be independent of the band size - it is unpredictable and changes with weight loss and body recomp.

For what it's worth, if you were large at a smaller size, the girls will probably still be large when you lose weight and body fat percentage...and vice versa. Breasts can lose fat, but not glandular tissue.

Went from 48D to 34B-ish (closer to A). I adjusted my clothing style to a more butch look, and it works.

I went from F to E from loosing 70ish pounds. They seem to be staying the same now. Although i wish they would get smaller. Bras are so expensive in the bigger sizes !!!
