Embarrassed to ask but I'm going to ask it anyway... So plea

Just from exercise and eating right I went down. I wore a 36C now I wear a 34B. I didn't do anything special really. I lift weights and do bench presses and chest flies once a week.

Hmmm.... that's actually the opposite of what happens to most women. Most of us tend to lose the chest before anything else!

Just focus on your nutrition, good exercise workouts that incorporate cardio and weight training, and make sure your weight training days include workouts for the chest - push ups, bench press, etc.

i am the opposite! wish i could lose this butt and hips!!

i was born to run i went from a size 44c to a 40c but i was not TRYING TO LOOSE WT THERE, i think its just my body droping pounds where it wanted to, i still have large breast not complaining but i would have love to have lost it off my hips.

i did not do anything special just workout with wts, cardio and running 35min on a tredmill 5xs a week.

sorry no secrets here

It's a good question, I have read posts from other people in the past who have lost bra size after losing weight - it seems to be the general answer. I too am very hopeful to lose cup size because I gained a lot in my chest. Good luck!!

We're all different babe, most women do lose bust when dieting but some don't. The same as having babies most women lose bust after pregnancy and feeding, but some get bigger (I was one of those lol! )

I have Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones, which I started out with. I do these exercises that focus on chest and have lost two inches in the girls, even when I don't do her video. I cannot say that these have any more impact than diet and exercise, because I have been doing them in conjunction with the calorie counting and general cardio. I do believe that it helps to do strength training, because I have "big" upper arms. Once I started doing weight training they have started shrinking, something that never happened before. Just keep in mind that you have to focus on measurements when weight training since muscle will weigh more than fat but def takes up less space. Hope they help.

Perk Up Your Pecs


We could all use a little pick-me-up in the pectoral region, right? As we age, certain areas may begin to droop a little — you know what I'm talking about. There's no reason to give gravity all the control, though, especially when you can defy gravity with chest-pumping exercises like the classic push-up (modified here for beginners), the dumbbell chest press, and the chest fly.

Modified Push-up
1.Find a stable elevated bench on which to perform this exercise (if you're at home, the back of your couch or your coffee table will suffice; if you're at the gym, use a weight bench). Stand with the bench in front of you and place your palms on it. Your hands should be just wider than shoulder-width apart. Step your feet back behind you so that you're balancing in a prone position over the bench. You should be supporting your weight on the underside of your toes and the palms of your hands.
2.Bend your elbows and lower your entire body into push-up position. Your chest should line up with your hands, and your elbows should be bent in 90-degree angles at the midpoint of this exercise. Your neck should be straight and your eyes should be focused on the floor in front of you. Keep your abs tight. Exhale as you push back up to the starting position; repeat.

Dumbbell Chest Press
1.Lie on your back on a workout bench with your feet up on the bench. (You can also perform this exercise lying on a body ball with your feet firmly on the floor.) Hold the dumbbells over your chest with your arms extended toward the ceiling, palms facing forward. Inhale as you bend your elbows and lower the dumbbells to just above chest level. At the midpoint of this exercise, your upper arms should be parallel to the floor and your forearms perpendicular to the floor.
2.Hold for a beat, then exhale and press the weights back up to the starting position; repeat.

Dumbbell Chest Fly
1. Lie on your back on a workout bench with your feet up on the bench. (You can also perform this exercise lying on a body ball with your feet firmly on the floor.) Hold the dumbbells over your chest with your arms extended toward the ceiling, palms facing each other.
2. Inhale, opening your chest, and slowly lower the weights out in an arc to the sides of your chest. Exhale and raise the weights, again in an arc, back to the starting position; repeat.

I am falling out of my bras too and I hate it. Im going to try weights

I too have been wondering that lol I have lost inches for example I used to be a 46DDD now I am down to a 42DDD but would love to drop down to DD or even D so I can buy bras from somewhere other than Lane Bryant lol I LOVE their stuff, but expensive lol 40 bucks for a sports bra when I could have gotten a 3 pack for 10 bucks at walmart lol everything I tried on there was perfect around, too small cup or perfect in cup but to loose around lol

I considered myself very lucky to decrease my cup size. I went from a B cup pre-kids to an EE cup after two kids, nursing, and weight gain. I hated it, and I remember how uncomfortable it made me. :sad:

I didn't do anything in particular to target that area, but I did do general cardio, and a full body strength training routine (with dumbbells or body weight) 2-3x a week at first. I am very happy to be a C now (although I do still miss the pre-kid perkiness! )

Thanks for all the tips... I just don't want to feel like Pamela Anderson or anything lol haha I feel like that... I just want my body to be evenly proportion all over. I'm losing inches and some weight in some areas but I just hope my chest go down some lol.. Thanks all!

LMAO I am the opposite, I want to keep most of what I have, just want them a little more manageable
