    I was a 42DD I have lost 47lbs so far and have dropped to a 38D. My back pain is almost completely gone. Best wishes with your weight loss.

    One thing that motivated me to lose weight was the prospect of smaller breast. Yes, big breast are desired, however I was getting very tired of the back pain and expensive bras. I have over 110 pounds to lose, and I'm almost positive that my breast size will decrease, but just how much? I know it depends on genetics and all that, but it would be nice to have something to look forward to.

    For those of you with larger breast who has lost a significant amount of weight (or any weight at all really), how much of a difference have you seen in your bust size? What size were you prior to your weight loss and current size?

    It's a long shot, but are there any exercises that target breast fat?

    Any feedback would be appreciated. :smile:
    No. Genetic predisposition dictates where your body loses fat. You will see a smaller breast size, but the body loses fat systematically. That means if you lose 1% of body fat, you lose it all over at the same time.

    It does really depend... The first time I lost 30 pounds, everything went but the breasts! I gained all that weight back and trying to lose it again so I can get approved (insurance) to get a breast reduction. Good luck on your weight loss! You've already lost so much already too!

    I went down a back size and up a cup size. I'm 36 E now :noway: I still look fairly small, though. Bra sizes are weird like that.

    I'm a D and I've lost just under 20 pounds with no noticeable loss in cup size. I've always had larger breasts, even when I was an in-shape athlete, so I don't hold out much hope for any changes in mine.

    As for exercises, there is no way to target where we lose weight. Our body will take it off as it sees fit. :)

    I started at about a 40DD, and thirty pounds later switched to a 36D. It's getting pretty big on me now though. I think I need to get a fitting.

    When I was 205, I had 40 D, and it was a little uncomfortable, I was just too stubborn to go up another size.. I'm down to 180, and just bought a 36C yesterday. And it's comfy. I'm convinced most of my weight came off my chest first, which is a little annoying. I had to buy that bra yesterday to prop the girls up high enough so the bridesmaid dress I have to wear this weekend doesn't umm...slip. It's a lifter :)

    Now if my bum would catch up to the whole shrinking process......

    It seems like it's different for everyone! After losing 21 pounds, I'm a 36D, so I haven't lost in the cup size. I'm hoping that I will, but considering I've been a D cup ever since I can remember (being a 32D at the age of 14 is not fun!), I doubt that I will.

    I'm hoping by boobs don't go down. Went from an F cup to DD when I lost the first batch of weight. Been fluctuating +-7lbs for a while now I'm hoping they don't change too much. Think I'll end up buying a new pair if they loose too much volume.

    I'm a 42H. They've been huge as long as I can remember. I'm hoping I lose in my chest, but I'm doubtful. I lost a lot of weight at one point in college and I still didn't lose in my chest. My waist got smaller, and my chest stayed the same making my boobs look even bigger. Yuck. I dream of one day being able to buy a bra from any store. Or even one of a sale rack!

    Target where we lose
    I agree.
    However, we can target where we build muscle with exercise. And I can see a difference in appearance for sure.

    If you really want to lose your boobs, try breastfeeding some ravenous babies for a couple years. Once your milk dries up, so will your boobs :tongue:
