Question for women who have lost weight

If you were big-busted, did you get smaller? Right now I've lost twenty pounds, and I feel like it's mostly in my mid-section, which is great! But I only have about another 25 to go until I reach my goal, and my shirts look ridiculous because my top is so much bigger than my middle...

Anything I can do? Does everything eventually even out?

(Also, should I hold off on buying new bras until I'm done losing weight?)

    A LOT of weight come from my top--- Im losing weight again and starting to feel my boobs go down. When I had my initial weight loss before baby I went from a DD to a B cup. Plus side is that my tummy gets pretty small, too. My weight hangs onto my butt and thighs.

    my boobs were big before i got big. they werent mostly fatty tissue like alot of heavier women, took me getting quite small before they shrunk. .Although alot of weight carried in my upper arms made them saggy and tube sock like long before they shrunk -.- Their still D34 but they dont look it anymore...Down from DD38....Cant decide if im sad about it or not lol

    I've lost almost 80lbs (got another 30-40 more to go) and mine have gotten smaller with the rest of me, but in proportion to the rest of me they are huge. I am only just now able to put my arms down by my side without bouncing into side bust. I went from a 38-40DD/D to a 32G and I still have a pudge layer around my ribcage and loooots of bust.

    If they don't shrink, I am going to have a consult for reduction to something manageable. I want to be able to run and jump without feeling like I have to strap myself in armor lol.

    Mine got smaller but I'm still a 32E. I think I look more proportional though, except as always for my thighs, where my body really likes to carry weight. 🙄

    I lost 40lbs and went from a 38DD to a 36D. I agree about the genetics comment. And what kind of workouts you're doing to keep your chest toned.

    I've gone down in back size (Was 40-42D) but cup size is around the same (38D-E). I guess I am slightly more perky these days too on account of the strength training I do (rather than the weight loss).

    I went from 38DD to 34C - I was big busted for my small/short frame, I still feel I'm busty but I do prefer my smaller size. (30lbs lost)

    Cup size stayed the same but band size went down

    Each woman will have a slightly different experience so it's not a one size fits all type of thing.
    I have breast implants and my breasts still shrunk somewhat with weight loss. It depends on genetics, fat distribution and there's a lot of variables. You won't really know until you get there.
    Look at it like this though- you can always pay to have your breasts look however you wish. So don't sweat it.

    Yes. Band, as well as cup size, have gone down.

    Mine were very large. I lost 96 pounds and I think it was not until the last 20 any came off my boobs. Now I am a 36C/36D (depending on manufacturer). Band size went way down too but that happened before cup size changed much.

    It’ll happen, be patient. 38DD to 32C. But it wasn’t until the last 25#

    I would think it would depend on your genetics and where you carry extra fat. I lost weight pretty evenly overall.

    My huge bust which caused my upper back to ache when I was overweight/obese became a comfortable not too large and not too small size after I lost weight.

    I lost a lot in the band, a little in the cup size and regular strength training kept/keeps the girls perky.

    40C/38D to a 34DD. I bought new bras when I realized that I'd deflated enough to stick half a tennis ball in each cup.

    This is something that is determined by genetics and will vary greatly from person to person.

    This.

    I was quite busty (40D or DD depending on the bra brand) for my height, when I was heavier. Now, if it is not chilly ;) and I don't plan on running, I can go bra-less with no problems.

    I had to drop below BMI 21 for mine to really get smaller, they hung on for a long time.

    I started out at about 145lb and 32G (~BMI 25) and now I'm about 118 lbs (~BMI 20) and 28F, which is doesn't seem like a huge difference but is really a big improvement. It's only one cup size, so proportionately they're still there, but since my band size shrunk as well, they are objectively a lot smaller in volume (my bust measurement went from like 39" to 33" and underbust from 32" to 27"). They actually went from being one of the first things anyone ever noticed about me to being completely normal-looking,which is fantastic.

    Band size yes, cup size not so much. At my heaviest I was a 36G. After losing 63 pounds, I'm in between a 32G and 32F. I don't really expect it to go down much. The smallest bra size I've been in about 15 years is a 32E. Not everybody shrinks when they lose weight. I've mainly stuck to wearing sports bras because of sizing but I did buy myself some new underwire bras recently and I'm glad I did.

    When I lost weight....the boobs went first...well on to an A cup.
    Had a double mastectomy and reconstruction into a nice full C.
    Now as I get smaller my boobs look bigger and will never change.....YEAH!

    I was small busted, and I got smaller :laugh:

    Mine too! I'm to the point that unless my shirt is a bit see through, you can't tell if I'm wearing a bra or not: bralette size Small (and they can't have too much of a cup either).

    My cup size never was big to start with, a European 75C to just about D at my biggest. Now I'm at 75B and love it! I just prefer small, perky tittis <3 So much more comfortable for sport and sleeping, a nice small handful. Perfect :)

    I was an F cup when I was thin and had a reduction to a large C. Then I gained (a lot of) weight and went back to an F cup. Right now I'm almost at my goal and am still at an F cup. I might need another reduction if they don't shrink in the next 20 pounds.

    I was a 38 DD, lost 60 pounds and keep working I'm a 36F. I have very little fatty tissue in my breasts, according to my radiologist, so she says it's very doubtful I'll lose much cup size no matter how much smaller my band size may get.
